Factor Trinomials with Reverse FOIL (Simple “AC” Algorithm Method when a is not 1)

FACTOR without ANY guessing using this easy algorithm! Factoring trinomials in Algebra when the leading coefficient is not 1 with reverse foil is a bit more difficult, and Reverse FOIL guessing and checking takes a while. The Reverse FOIL “ac” method shown here is much easier than any other I’ve found, and students pick it up quickly. This is a follow-up factoring video to add more examples. I really hope it helps you feel more comfortable with factoring!
