Factorising II ​

Notes ​

Sometimes, our quadratics can look a little bit trickier. If they are of the form

where $a\ne 1$ they are harder to factorise. For these harder quadratics, we're going to learn a method called splitting the middle.

As before, it is important to get $0$ on one side of the equation before we begin.
