A2c - Manipulate Algebraic expressions - Factorising Quadratics
This video is a quick recap of factorising simple quadratics with single x squared term. There are a number of general tutorials below for this topic
that might give you more insight into this if this video doesnt remind you, I would specifically look at the maths247 harder one for a nice method for
expressions with a multiple x squared term.

A4a - Solve quadratic equations exactly by factorising
This video by Exam Solutions is a nice demonstration of 5 examples of factorising to solve quadradic equations that is ones
where the highest power is a squared term. Essentially this is just the factorising from section A2, then making each bracket zero and solving.
