      Factoring Quadratic Trinomials

      You can factor trinomials with the form in one of two ways: (1) factor out a GCF, or (2) find two binomials whose product is that trinomial. When finding the two binomials whose product is a particular trinomial, you work from the factors of the constant term and the factors of the coefficient of the lead term to create a sum or difference that matches the coefficient of the middle term. This technique can be expanded to trinomials that have the same general format but with exponents that are multiples of the basic trinomial.
