Factoring Polynomials
Completion requirements
Watch these videos. Factoring a trinomial requires two steps. First, a common monomial factor is factored out, and then the resulting polynomial is factored by grouping. The second video gives an example of a multi-step factoring process by factoring out a common monomial and then using the difference of cubes formula.
