Outcomes

In this course you will learn about:

1. Expanding brackets.
2. Factorising by grouping.
3. Factorising by finding the difference of two squares.
4. Factorising trinomials.
5. Simplifying algebraic fractions

This video explains about coefficient, constant, variable and exponents. Useful for introductions to the topic and/or extension work. 

When electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by a material the energy it carries has to go somewhere. When lower energy waves, like radio and infrared waves, are absorbed there can be an increase in temperature of the absorbing material. Higher energy waves, like x-ray and gamma waves, can actually permanently damage or change materials. Learn about the different types of electromagnetic waves and how their energies can influence their effects on objects.
