When factorizing, if you need a positive outcome, where should the larger number be placed in relation to the sign?

• Beside the negative sign

• Beside the positive sign

• Does not matter

• Always in the middle

What is crucial to check after factorizing an expression?

• Correctness of factorization

• If the factors are prime

• Complexity of the expression

• Number of terms

What happens when you cancel common factors in an expression?

• The expression simplifies

• The expression becomes more complex

• The expression remains unchanged

• The expression becomes undefined

What is the domain restriction when 'a' equals -3?

• a causes an error in calculation

• a must not be used

• a is defined

• a is undefined

Why is the expression not valid when 'a' equals 2, even though it is defined?

• Because it simplifies to zero

• Because it results in an undefined operation

• Because it violates a fundamental rule of algebra

• Because it does not affect the expression
