Talk it: Group Factoring
By Tangerine
Objectives for Group Factoring:> Factoring with Four Terms> Factoring Trinomials by Grouping
Factoring a Four-Term Polynomial1. Factor the GCF from each
group of two terms2. Factor out the binomial left
Just like this:
4n3 + 8n2 - 5n - 10= 4n2(n + 2) - 5(n + 2)= (4n2 - 5) (n + 2)
Factoring Completely1. Factor out the GCF2. Factor by grouping3. Factor again
Just like this:
12p4 + 10p3 - 36p2 - 30p= 2p(6p3 + 5p2 - 18p -15)= 2p[(p2(6p + 5) - 3(6p + 5)]= 2p(p2 - 3)(6p + 5)

Just like this:
48x2 + 46x + 5= 48x2 + (6 + 40)x + 5= 48x2 + 4x + 6x + 5= 6x(8x + 1) + 5(8x + 1)= (6x + 5)(8x + 1)
Reminders:1. Before you factor by grouping, you may need to factor the GCF of all the terms of a polynomial. Remember, a polynomial is not completely factored until there are no common factors other than one.
Reminders:2. Some may want to factor 5, instead of -5, from -5 - 10 and get 5(-n - 2). To make the new factor turn out the way they should,they need to factor out - 1 as well.
Reminders:3. Always look for a GCF to factor out.
