The document provides step-by-step instructions for factorizing a quadratic trinomial using the grouping method. The method involves: 1) drawing an X and writing the middle and first times last terms; 2) finding two factors whose sum is the middle term and product is the first times last; 3) writing the factors on either side of the X and dividing by the leading coefficient; 4) plugging the factors into the (x + )(x + ) format and moving the denominator in front of the x terms. When completed, the factorization is obtained.
