Factoring a trinomial using guess and check, 3w^2 + 14w + 8 = 0

The video tutorial explains how to factor quadratic equations without using the AC method. It introduces the FOIL method and emphasizes focusing on the first and last terms. The instructor demonstrates identifying factors that multiply to give specific terms and using a guess and check method to find the correct factors. The tutorial concludes with verifying solutions using the zero product property.
