The method for factoring a trinomial of the form ax^2 + bx + c (where a does not equal 1).
  • How do you factor trinomials where the leading coefficient is not 1?
  • How do you factor complex trinomials when a does not equal 1?
  • How do you factor 6x^2 - 5x - 4?
  • How do you factor 2p^2 - 3pq + q^2?
  • How do you know what a, b, and c are in a trinomial?
  • How do you factor a trinomial with two variables?
  • How do you factor 2p^2 - 2pq - pq + q^2 by grouping?
  • How do you factor 6x^2 + 3x - 8x - 4 by grouping?
This lesson does a great job of explaining how to factor trinomials with a leading coefficient other than 1. The work is shown clearly with each step explained. This is a very good factoring tutorial.
