Factoring a quadratic using the berry method

The video tutorial covers the process of factoring polynomials, starting with an introduction to the concept and the importance of factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF). It then explains the AC method for factoring, highlights common mistakes students make, and demonstrates how to rewrite equations to achieve the factored form. The tutorial concludes with examples and clarifications on different ways to express the final factored form.
