Okay so i got factorising done. Like i understand the method but obviously continuous practice is important. My teacher had taught me a different way of answering them which was easy but it would take me so long to get the answer right. Hopefully, mathsgenie gave me a shortcut to answering harder factorising quadratics. I made silly mistakes like forgetting the letters and that but like i said, i understand.
I’m all good up to the answer. I don’t understand why the method keeps changing signs. why is it 5 and not -5? why is it 3 and not -3? explain please why the signs are there?
there is some difficult math in physics but it is less difficult i must admit. i’m glad you had the determination to keep trying. good on you! also thanks x
Happy to help have you got your previous papers back to find out where you are going wrong?

Okay make sure you keep practicing factorising cuz if does come up a lot keep going over lots of questions and eventually you’ll understand the process! The easier method is to find the factors of the end number and make sure it either adds/subtract to give you the middle number and then put them into 2 brackets! That’s the method I’ve always used You don’t necessarily need to times the A and the c together every time this is why it’s taking so much time! Comes in the form as ax+bx+c btw But you’ve got it! Well done! 👍
