How to Factor by Grouping! (4 different examples of 4 term polynomials)

How do you factor by grouping? This video explains factoring polynomials by grouping using examples with 4 terms. These examples explain how to group the terms, how to find the greatest common factor, how to pull out that factor, and how to find your final answer.

I also explain the different techniques for problems where the signs don't match and you have to pull out a negative factor, problems where there doesn't appear to be a factor, and problems where you have to continue factoring after the initial grouping.

Here are the time jumps for each of those parts:
1:20 - Introduction to factoring by grouping and basic problem
8:52 - What to do when you don't see a common factor
12:43 - What to do when the signs don't match (pulling out a negative factor)
15:42 - What to do when you have to keep factoring after the initial grouping factoring
