  1. Modulus graphs and equations

    What ∣x∣|x| means, how to sketch y=∣ax+b∣y=|ax+b| by reflecting the negative part, and two reliable ways to solve modulus equations: squaring both sides, or splitting into cases and checking.

    ≈ 40 min
  2. Modulus inequalities

    Solving inequalities with moduli: the "between" and "outside" patterns, squaring when both sides are moduli, and using a sketch when a modulus is compared with a line.

  3. Polynomials: division, factor and remainder theorems

    Long division for polynomials, why the remainder on dividing by (x−a)(x-a) is just p(a)p(a), and how the factor theorem lets you factorise cubics and find unknown coefficients.
