Solving a quadratic using two different factoring techniques

The video tutorial covers different methods for factoring trinomials. It begins with the simplest approach using the FOIL method, emphasizing the importance of identifying negative factors to achieve a positive product. The instructor then introduces an alternative method using the equation X^2 + BX + C, explaining how to find numbers that multiply to a product and add to a sum. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates grouping and solving equations by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF), providing a foolproof method for students who struggle with guessing and checking.
