Factorising Expressions - Single Brackets

What is the main difference between factorizing and expanding brackets?

• Both processes remove brackets.

• Both processes add brackets.

• Factorizing adds brackets, expanding removes them.

• Factorizing removes brackets, expanding adds them.

In the expression 12x - 8, what is the highest common factor used for factorizing?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 6

When factorizing 6y^2 + 12y, what is the common factor for the variable part?

• y^2

• y

• 6

• 12

Why is it important to expand the brackets after factorizing?

• To change the expression back to its original form.

• To find the highest common factor.

• To verify the factorization is correct.

• To ensure the expression is simplified.

What future topics are hinted at in the video for further exploration of factorization?

• Only the difference of two squares.

• Only factorizing into two brackets.

• The difference of two squares and multiple brackets.

• Factorizing into single brackets only.
