Which terms should be grouped together for factorization? Please give some comments.
Factorization is the process of breaking down a mathematical expression into its smaller, simpler components. It is important because it allows us to solve equations and understand the relationship between different terms in an expression.
The terms that should be grouped together for factorization are those that have common factors. Look for terms with the same variables and numbers that can be divided evenly.
No, only terms that have common factors can be grouped together for factorization. Terms with different variables or numbers cannot be combined.
Factoring out the greatest common factor involves finding the largest factor that can be divided evenly from all terms in an expression. Grouping terms for factorization involves identifying pairs of terms that have common factors and can be factored together.
You can check your factorization by multiplying the factors together and simplifying the expression. The resulting expression should be the same as the original expression before factorization.
