we factorise a number by finding the common factor.

example: 2x+6 = 2 is the common factor

the 2 is then put outside the bracket

2x+6 = 2(x+3)

How do you factorise a quadratic equation that starts without a number?

The question is not phrased clearly enough to answer exactly; what does "starts with a number" mean?If you mean not starting with a constant number at the beginning, this is common, as most functions are written in order of the highest power of the variable first; you will first need to rearrange the expression to a suitable order.If you mean that the x2 or x terms do not have coefficients (numbers written next to them as ab, meaning "a multiplied by b") then these are easier to factorise; a lack of coefficient simply means "multiplied by one". Further questions can explain how to factorise further.

Can you Factorise 4x²-9?

It is possible to factorise 4x²-9 further.Factorising is to express a number or expression as a product of factors.The technique of factorising two terms: a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)If we apply ( 4x²-9 ) to the previous technique: 4x² - 9 = (2x + 3) (2x - 3)
