Solving Equations and Forming Equations
Designed for OL & HL students. (Video three is for HL students only)
Video one looks at how you can solve a linear equation by finding the value of x that makes the equation true.
Video two looks at how you can solve a quadratic equation by finding the values of x which satisfy the equation. After watching these videos, try to form the quadratic equation when given the two roots. Video three was designed for higher level Mathematics students and it demonstrates how you can form the quadratic equation when given the two roots.

The Factor Theorem
https://www.scoilnet.ieuploads/resources/28744/28480.pdf Added: 05 Nov 2018 Contributor: UCD MSC Resource type: Guide/notesThe (x−a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x) if and only if f(a) = 0. This UCD MSC document introduces higher level students to the factor theorem by demonstrating two examples of how it can be used. The examples shown are for higher level students.
