The document discusses factoring algebraic expressions, expanding expressions, and writing equations of parabolas given their zeros.

To factor completely, group like terms and find the greatest common factor. Arrange the factors into a rectangle to write the factored expression.

To expand and simplify expressions, use the distributive property to multiply out terms within parentheses. Combine like terms.
