Correction: Consider an example where we can simplify straight away Correction: Consider an example where we must factorise first
We can simplify 12" !+ ! which is 12×" !×+ ! We CANNOT
just simplify when
(cancel) when
18"+ " 18×"×+ " terms are NOT We factorise first instead
terms are
multiplied (X) becomes multiplied (% + 2)(% − 1) which is % + 2 ×(% − 1)
=
(2% + 3)(% + 2) just (2% + 3)×(% + 2)
Now we can cancel since we have multiplication
(# + 2)(# − 1) #−1
Pweaseeee = =
We cancel common factors (colour pairs) Listen (2# + 3)(# + 2) 2# + 3
We cancel common factors (colour pairs)

Correction of both : High five
m. mo… OMG he’s about to
say his first words
3 % + 5 = 3% + 15
The brackets mean multiply, so
the 3 and 5 are multiplied
!
%+3 = % + 3 % + 3 = % ! + 3% + 3% + 9
= % ! + 6% + 9
Write out as 2 brackets and then expand !+# !
= !! + # !

Remember: 3% ! is not the same as 3 + % !

3% ! = 3% × 3% = 9% !
3 + % ! = 3 + % 3 + % = % ! + 6% + 9 © mymathscloud

change. Only the number in front does. 2 + 8 cannot be added unless the roots are the same
(adding and subtracting surds is the same as adding and
5 + 5 + 5 = 35
subtracting algebra e.g. 2% + 3% = 5 and 2 7 + 3 7=5 7)
However, it is good to
keep friends … Sometimes using surd knowledge we can make the roots the same
2+ 8= 2+2 2=3 2

% ! + 9 cannot be simplified. We could only simplify &

take the roots of each number IF we have multiplication:
% ! × 9 = % × 3 = 3%

Correction: Looking for the lost solution Correction:
Dividing by % loses a solution. We are solving a quadratic, not a linear equation!!!
Factorise instead to solve. We want zero on one side first and then we
We want zero on one side first Factorise OR use quadratic formula
which we already had at the % ! − 2% − 3 = 0
beginning. Factorising gives %−3 %+1 =0
% %−2 =0 % = 3, % = −1
% = 0, % = 2

Correction:
These are both not wrong, but both equations are easy to solve and do not
need the quadratic formula, which is overkill here.

!
% ! + 2% = 0
% −1=0 We can’t get % on its own as easily
We can easily get % on its own easily BUT this factorises
%! = 1 % %+2 =0
% = ±1 % = 0, % = 2

Correction:
Note of these can be simplified. Angles with trig We can split up fractions with 1 term
#$% # %
are fixed unless we use identities in denominator = +

This is just the reverse direction of when we

Formulae From right to left it makes sense, right?
Never split up fractions when there are 2

addition formula I do better now
Correction:
You can only do this when multiplying fractions, not when
one fraction in on one side of an equals sign.
Instead, we can cross multiply
