\begin{alertblock}{Objectives}
Objectives for today:
\begin{itemize}
\item Introducing specific vocabulary.
\item Quick revision of quadratic function.
\item Factorising Quadratics.
\item Proving Vieta's formulas.
\item Carrying out gained knowledge by working out some word problems.
\end{itemize}

% QUICK REVISION
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{block}{Quick Revision}
\textbf{Forms of Quadratic Function}
\begin{itemize}
\item $f(x) = ax^2+bx+c$ is called the \textbf{standard form}.
\item $f(x) = a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$ is called the \textbf{factored form}, where $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the roots of the quadratic function.
\item $f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k$ is called the \textbf{vertex form}.
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Delta $\Delta$}\\*
$\Delta$ determines tells us how many solutions quadratic equation have:
$$\text{number of solutions}=
\begin{cases}
2 &\text{when } \Delta > 0\\
1 &\text{when } \Delta = 0\\
0 &\text{when } \Delta < 0
\end{cases}
$$
\textbf{The Quadratic Formula}
$$x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$
\textbf{Graph of Quadratic Function}

\begin{block}{Factorising a Quadratic}
Factorising a quadratic means putting it into two brackets, and is useful if you're trying to draw a graph of a quadratic solve a quadratic equation. It's pretty easy if $a=1$ (in $ax^2+bx+c$ form), but can be a real pain otherwise.
\newline
\newline
In order to factorise a quadratic you should follow steps outlined below:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Rearrange the equation into the standard $ax^2+bx+c$ form.
\item Write down two brackets: $(x\ \ \ )(x\ \ \ )$
\item Find two numbers that multiply to give 'c' and add or subtract to give 'b' (ignoring signs).
\item Put the numbers in brackets and choose their signs.
\end{enumerate}

% IMPORTANT To REMEMBER
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{alertblock}{Myth of Delta $\Delta$}
It's commonly believed that in order to work out roots of a quadratic function you must count $\Delta$ and use other previously established formulas. However this is untrue since factorising in many cases is as good or even better than simply counting $\Delta$.

% EXAMPLE OF FACTORISATION
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{block}{Example of Factorisation}
Solve $x^2+4x-21=0$ by factorising.
$$x^2+4x-21=(x\ \ \ \ \ )(x\ \ \ \ \ )$$
$1$ and $21$ multiply to give $21$ - and add or subtract to give $22$ and $20$.\\*
$3$ and $7$ multiply to give $21$ - and add or subtract to give $10$ and \textbf{$4$}.
$$x^2+4x+21 = (x+7)(x-3)$$
And solving the equation:
$$(x+7)(x-3)=0$$
we get
$$x=-7,\ \ \ x=3$$

% PROOF OF VIETA'S FORMULAS
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{block}{ Proof of Vieta's Formulas}
Let's prove that:
$$x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}$$
When $\Delta$ is positive we have two roots:
$$x_1 = \frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a},\ \ \ x_2 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$$
Substituting for $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively, we receive:
$$x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a} + \frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a} =$$
$$ = \frac{(-b-\sqrt{\Delta}) + (-b+\sqrt{\Delta})}{2a} = \frac{-2b}{2a} = \frac{-b}{a}$$
The same we could do with another pattern, which state that $x_1 x_2 = \frac{c}{a}$, but proving this is going to be your task in next section.
