Algebra II: Quadratic Equations - Factoring (Level 3 of 10)

The video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic binomials by factoring. It begins with an example of solving a quadratic equation by setting one side to zero and factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF). The tutorial highlights common mistakes, such as dividing by a variable, which can lead to losing solutions. It then demonstrates the correct method of solving by factoring and applying the zero product property. The video concludes with a final example, reinforcing the steps to solve quadratic binomials effectively.
