Factoring a trinomial when a is greater than one now you know solve

The video tutorial covers solving quadratic equations by factoring. It begins with checking for common factors and explains the strategy of using the quadratic form AX^2 + BX + C = 0. The tutorial guides through finding factors that multiply to a specific product and add to a specific sum. It highlights common mistakes and demonstrates factoring by grouping. Finally, it applies the zero product property to solve the equations, providing solutions for the variables.
