There are a few different ways to solve quadratics: factorising, using the quadratic formula or by completing the square. In this video we look at solving by factorising. Solving just means to find values of x that satisfy the quadratic. Usually there will be 2 solutions, but sometimes there is just 1 and sometimes there are no solutions. The solutions are also known as roots. When we factorise, we usually end up with two brackets. E.g x^2 + 2x - 8 factorises to become (x + 4)(x - 2). To solve this factorised quadratic, we make each bracket equal to zero and solve the mini-equations from there. x + 4 = 0 and x - 2 = 0. Solve these and we get x = -4 and x = 2. Two different solutions (or roots). If we plotted this quadratic, these two roots are where the curve crosses the x-axis.

You might have noticed that if you are trying to boil a lot of water it takes longer than if you only wish to boil a small amount of water. This is all because of something called ‘heat capacity’. Keep watching to learn more. Before we get into the details, it is important to realise that there i
All living organisms are made up of cells - they are the basic building blocks of life. There are two important categories of cells: plant cells and animal cells. In this video we look at animal cells in more detail. Animal cells are the type of cell that make up our bodies... and the bodies of al
