This document discusses factoring trinomials by grouping. It provides examples of factoring trinomials where the coefficient of the second term is not 1, such as 3x^2 + 14x + 8 = (3x + 2)(x + 4). The document shows how to determine the sum and product of the terms, then find two numbers with that sum and product to group the terms. It provides step-by-step workings for factoring trinomials like 10n^2 + 3n - 1 and 20g^2 - g - 1 using this method. The last example factors the trinomial 12x^5 + 10x^4 - 12x^3 in two steps.
