Learn about a factorization method called "grouping." For example, we can use grouping to write 2x²+8x+3x+12 as (2x+3) (x+4).

So what I'm going to teach you is a technique called, factoring by grouping. And it's a little bit more involved than what we've learned before, but it's a neat trick.

If you only see the variable x^2, then there is an invisible coefficient of 1 in front which generally makes factoring easier if possible. So use coefficient as a number in front of a variable and …

And there is a little bit of an art to recognizing when you can factor by grouping, but they've set this problem up nicely for us. So if you look at these first two terms right here.

So what I'm going to teach you is a technique called, factoring by grouping. And it's a little bit more involved than what we've learned before, but it's a neat trick.

We're asked to factor 35k squared plus 100k, minus 15. And because we have a non-1 coefficient out here, the best thing to do is probably to factor this by grouping.

Factoring higher degree polynomials involves breaking down complex expressions into simpler parts. This process includes identifying common factors, using the distributive property, and …

The grouping method can be used to factor polynomials with 4 terms by taking out common factors multiple times. If this is new to you, you'll want to check out our Intro to factoring by …
