Grouping to factor• If a polynomial has four or more terms it helps to group the polynomial and then factor.  This means you take and split the polynomial into pairs.

HINTS for grouping:• There are four or more terms• Terms with common factors should be grouped together.• The two common factors are identical or additive inverses of each other.Example:

Factor 

Answer: 

Feb 19­11:53 AM

The additive inverse property• Recognizing the polynomial as additive inverses can be VERY helpful when factoring by grouping.  Additive inverses are like (x­7) (7+x).   You know they are additive inverses bc when you add them together the sum is 0. Parenthesis are identical except for signs!  You need to pull out a negative in one of the  outside numbers• Example:

Example 2­3a

Factor 

Group terms with common factors.

Parenthesis are identical except for signs!  You need to pull out a negative in one of the  outside numbers

what is inside goes onto another.
