Expand

As in "expand and simplify". If you only expanded then you haven't simplified yet.

Or "factor and simplify".

Or “factor and simplify”

Factorising is the opposite process to expanding, so no, that isn't simplifying.

My point (made poorly) was there is "expand and simplify" and also "factor and simplify". Two different things.

And my point is there's no such thing as "factor and simplify", since they are opposite operations to each other.

Man you're dense.

Man you’re dense

Says person citing Google results instead of Maths textbooks! 😂

So you're just ignoring the fact that many of the results from that search indicate that factoring can be used to simplify something? K.

So you're just ignoring Maths textbooks? Got it.

BTW in case you didn't know about this infamous Google result...

that's not a result, that's it's shitty AI response. I am talking about the actual search results.

Yep, it's an actual search result. Look underneath the AI part.
