Hi there
This was so useful ...thank you
Please do factorising by grouping and difference of two squares

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

So glad to hear it’s helping! 😁 I’ve done difference of two squares in the factorising quadratics video 🙏🏼

Thank you so much I have been struggling

[@SuperPrankster-yj5lu]

Hopefully this man’s a teacher

I’m a head of maths 👍🏼

[@Oxygen97]

At 8:03, why isn't the bottom left one 3xy(3-4x)? Why does the "y" go on the inside?

[@DanielSmith-k7z]

Factorise 6x plus x squared. X on the outside of the bracket. 6 on the first term inside of the bracket, then x as last term.

[@s9zkekek]

very helpful😇

[@user-tz8qv7ov4r]

One suggest ☝️sir, can I get pdf format for the question it will help a lot for my siblings. Please

Thanks for the help man

Great factorising video well explained sir!!

Hii question umm 4:21 is it ok if i write 5(6-3x)

[@daniaali1097]

I wrote that tooo

[@merveilleekalakala4088]

same here aswell?

[@j827]

Usually you find the highest factor for both numbers in the brackets. 15 in this case.

[@abcd-jc5fx]

it's 15

[@j827]

@@user-es4hy7tr7u probably best to check with your teacher or exam board as it’s been a while since I did GCSEs.

Could you expand on your question? Something like 8x^3 + 10x maybe?

3:15 does it matter if you put numbers that go into 12 and 16, 2?

[@dawg_dawgs]

I think you have to do the highest common factor so you would have to do 4

[@DanielSmith-k7z]

4(3x+4)

[@DanielSmith-k7z]

X(x-10)

[@stacko9]

legend

[@NoneNone-hr1hx]

But is it okay to put like this in first factorise 2(6x+8)?

If it says factorise and not fully factorise 😁
