How do you factor quadratics by using the grouping method?

Answer 1

As you can see here we are making the terms inside the box brackets brackets into groups and then we remove the common factors.

finally using the distributive property we write it as a product of 2 binomials.

To factor quadratics using the grouping method, follow these steps:

Multiply the coefficient of the quadratic term (the (x^2) term) by the constant term.
Find two numbers that multiply to the result from step 1 and add to the coefficient of the linear term (the (x) term).
Rewrite the middle term of the quadratic expression using the two numbers found in step 2.
Group the terms into two pairs.
Factor out the greatest common factor from each pair.
Factor out the common binomial factor from the resulting expression.
Check if you can factor further, if not, the factored form is your solution.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
