1) Factoring monomials
2) Factoring Trinomials of
a) The ++/-+ Form
b) The --/+- Form
3) Factoring the difference of two squares
4) Perfect square trinomials. |
Factoring is only the distributive Law in reverse. If we have ,
we may factor out c because .
The expression
can also be factored to be
. Because if we multiply each element in one factor by each element
in the other factor, we get .
