The second is Difference of Squares. You will recongnize when to do this because you will have only two terms and there will be a subtraction sign in between them.
Third, we have Perfect Square Trinomials, which you can identify with the two outer terms. These terms will be perfect squares.
The last method in this set is really two. Reverse FOIL when c > 0 and Reverse FOIL when c < 0.
We also have a way to factor when a does not equal a. This method is simply called **Trinomials Where A** ≠ 1. There are two different ways to do this, Guess and Check and Factor by Grouping.
Now just pick the method that you feel you need for your equation and get to work!
Welcome to Group Six's Factoring Webpage
Here, we will show you step-by-step how to solve quadratic equations.
As you will see on the side bar to the left we have five different ways we can solve each.- The first is **GCF or Greatest Common Factor**. You should always try this method first.
