Factorization and Expansion Techniques

This video tutorial covers three examples of expanding and factorizing algebraic expressions. The first example demonstrates expanding two linear brackets and simplifying the result. The second example introduces the smiley face method for expanding expressions, which is similar to the FOIL method. The final example focuses on factorizing expressions by identifying common factors. Each example is explained step-by-step to enhance understanding.
