What is factoring by grouping?  What is a prime polynomial?  Please show examples for both.Â
Factoring by grouping given polynomial group terms and find the factors
Eg x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
This equation can be written as x2 +3x +2x + 6 ( ie 5x = 3x + 2x)
Group the terms x2 ,3x and 2x, 6
(x2 +3x) + (2x + 6) = 0
Now take common factors from each group
x(x +3) +2(x +3) = 0
x(x +3) is one ...
