Learn how to factor a polynomial with four terms by grouping

The video tutorial demonstrates how to factor a polynomial expression using the grouping method. It begins by identifying the four terms in the expression and grouping them into pairs. The instructor explains how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) for each group and factor it out. By simplifying the expression, the same terms are identified within the parentheses, allowing further factoring. The tutorial concludes with the expression written as a product of its factors, showcasing the effectiveness of the grouping method.
