Factorizing Quadratics: Simple Cases

The video tutorial covers factorising quadratics, starting with simple forms and progressing to more complex ones. It explains the purpose of factorisation, such as simplifying equations and finding real roots. The tutorial demonstrates factorising simple quadratics, solving them algebraically, and graphically identifying where they intersect the x-axis. It introduces the sum and product rule for factorising more complex quadratics, providing examples to illustrate the process. The video concludes with a preview of future content on more advanced quadratic factorisation.
