What does it mean to factor completely?
Back
Factoring completely means breaking down an expression into its simplest factors, such that no further factoring is possible.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you verify if two expressions are equivalent, such as 2x + 6 and 2(x + 3)?
Back
You can verify equivalence by simplifying both expressions. If they simplify to the same expression, they are equivalent.
