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.

Factoring by grouping- happens when there is a power greater than two, a power of two, a power of 1 like 3x or 5x, and than a constant like 2 or 7. example- 3x^3+4x^2+7x+8.

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

We can factor numbers like 24 into 2x12, or 3x8, or 4x6...But how can we factor algebraic expressions? We'll see that it's a lot like a puzzle.

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.

Factoring quadratics by grouping Factoring quadratics: leading coefficient ≠ 1 Factoring quadratics: common factor + grouping Factoring quadratics: negative common factor + grouping

When a polynomial is given in factored form, we can quickly find its zeros. When its given in expanded form, we can factor it, and then find the zeros! Here is an example of a 3rd degree …

Let's dive into the world of binomials and quadratics. Exponents are the place value of algebraic expressions. We'll multiply and factor these algebraic expressions, and discover some special …
