Slide 1 - Mind map

Recap: Binomials and Trinomials
A formula like                                 is called a binomial
(bi = 2, the formula has 2 terms)

A formula like                                           is called a trinomial
(tri = 3, the formula has 3 terms)
y=3x2+6x
y=x2+7x+10

Slide 3 - Slide

Factorising trinomials
What do you notice?

Slide 4 - Slide

Factorising trinomials
If a trinomial is of the form 
(so 1 in front of x-squared, a number in front of x and a single number)
then you can factorise the formula with double brackets

For the numbers on the dots you should find two numbers so that:
.... + .... = b                  the sum of the two numbers in the number in front of x
.... x .... = c                   the product of the two numbers is the single number
y=x2+bx+c
y=(x+...)(x+...)

Slide 5 - Slide

Factorising trinomials
Factorise 
Make a multiplication table.

We need two numbers on the dots
... + ... = 8
... x ... = 12
y=x2+8x+12

Slide 6 - Slide

Factorising trinomials
Factorise 
Make a multiplication table.

We need two numbers on the dots
2 + 6 = 8
2 x 6 = 12
So the factorised formula is 
y=x2+8x+12
y=(x+2)(x+6)

Slide 7 - Slide

Try it yourself!
Copy and make this exercise in your Notebook! 

Factorise 
Make a multiplication table.

We need two numbers on the dots
... + ... = ...
... x ... = ...
So the factorised formula is 
y=x2+3x18

Slide 8 - Slide

SOLUTION:
Compare with your own work and
 correct, or add, if needed!

Factorise 
Make a multiplication table.

We need two numbers on the dots
6 + -3 = 3
6 x -3 = 18
So the factorised formula is 
y=x2+3x18
y=(x3)(x+6)

Slide 9 - Slide

Suppose.....
We have no 1 in front of the x squared!?
For example, How to: 
Solve -0.2 x squared + 3x - 10 = 0  ??!

Slide 10 - Slide

Slide 11 - Video

Pokemon ??!
No:
Difficulty in MATH !!

Slide 12 - Slide

Once more:
How to solve:
-0.2x squared + 3x - 10 =0 ?
First we multiply all terms on both sides of the = sign by -5!
You get:   x squared -15x + 50 = 0
NOW SOLVE THIS EQUATION IN YOUR NOTEBOOK! 

Slide 13 - Slide

SOLVE:   x squared -15x + 50 = 0
SOLUTION:
(x - 10)(x - 5) = 0
x - 10 = 0  or  x - 5 = 0
x = 10  or  x = 5
