Welcome to the World of Factoring!
Factoring is the process of breaking down expressions into simpler parts called "factors" that when multiplied together give the original expression.
For example, the factors of \( x^2 - 5x + 6 \) are \( (x - 2)(x - 3) \). Understanding this can help solve equations and simplify expressions.
Steps to Get Started: 😊
- Identify common factors of the terms.
- Check for trinomials that can be factored into binomials.
- Use the difference of squares formula when applicable.
Practice Makes Perfect! ✨
Try factoring the expression \( x^2 - 4 \) and test your skills. Remember, practice leads to perfection!
