Factoring out the GCF to help us factor a trinomial to a higher power

The video tutorial covers the concept of the greatest common factor (GCF) and introduces the box method for factoring. It explains the properties of exponents, emphasizing how they are used in multiplication. The tutorial then demonstrates the process of factoring expressions, showing how to rewrite them as products. Finally, it explores the possibility of further factoring, using specific examples to illustrate the concepts.

What expression does the teacher arrive at after factoring the polynomial?

Can the teacher continue to factor the expression further? What does he suggest?
