Find Binomial Factors in a Polynomial
(Factor by grouping)
1) group into pairs of 2 terms
2) pull out common factors (factor it)
3) pull out common binomials
4) Simplify...if you can
Example:
Factor the following polynomial
6ab 9a + 4b 6
1) group into pairs of 2 terms
6ab 9a + 4b 6
2) pull out common factors
3a(2b 3) + 2(2b 3)
3) pull out common binomials
(3a + 2) (2b 3)
Factor the following polynomial
(be careful with negative signs)
12df 3dg 24ef + 6eg
