4. Factoring by Grouping You can use the Distributive Property to factor by grouping if two groups of terms have the same factor.You can use the Distributive Property to factor by grouping if two groups of terms have the same factor. y 3 + 3y 2 + 4y + 12 To factor by grouping look for a common binomial factor of two pairs of terms.To factor by grouping look for a common binomial factor of two pairs of terms. y 2 (y + 3) + 4(y + 3)

7. Factoring Completely Before you factor by grouping, you may need to factor the GCF of all the terms of a polynomial.Before you factor by grouping, you may need to factor the GCF of all the terms of a polynomial. Remember, a polynomial is not completely factored until there are no common factors other than 1.Remember, a polynomial is not completely factored until there are no common factors other than 1.

10. Factoring Trinomials by Grouping Factor 24q 2 + 25q – 25Factor 24q 2 + 25q – 25 Step 1: Find the product of acStep 1: Find the product of ac (24)(-25) = -600 (24)(-25) = -600 Step 2 Find the factors of ac that have sum b. Step 2 Find the factors of ac that have sum b. (-12)(50)  -12 + 50 = 38 (-12)(50)  -12 + 50 = 38 (-15)(40)  -15 + 40 = 25 (-15)(40)  -15 + 40 = 25

13. Summary 1.Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) 2.If the polynomial has two terms or three terms, look for a difference of two squares, a product of two squares, or a pair of binomial factors.

14. Summary 3.If there are four or more terms, group terms and factor to find common binomial factors. 4. As a final check, make sure there are no common factors other than 1.
