*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. Understanding quadratic factorisation.
* Rewriting quadratics of the form x² + bx + c into two brackets (x + p)(x + q).
2. A systematic method for factorising quadratics when the coefficient of x² is 1.
3. Worked examples demonstrating the factorisation process.
* Example with a positive constant term.
* Example with a negative constant term.
4. How to check your factorisation by expanding the resulting brackets.
