To covert a number in standard form to an ordinary number, you can count the

To factorise an expression in
the form x2 + bx + c you need to Example: x2 + 5 x + 6
Direct and Inverse proportion R10 find two numbers that add up 2 and 3 add to make 5 and
(numeric and algebraic) to make b, and that multiply multiply to make 6
to make c.
So x2 + 5 x + 6 = (x + 2) (x + 3)
If two quantities are in direct proportion then,
for example, one doubles so will the other. Example question ing bracket Check by expanding
