This topic focuses on factoring quadratic equations with a leading coefficient. Students practice identifying and factoring out common factors between the first two terms and the last two terms of a quadratic expression. The problems presented require splitting the middle term of a quadratic equation to facilitate factoring and forming expressions where common factored groups are evident, often leading to expressions involving binomial factors. Each question includes two potential factored forms as answer options, enhancing problem-solving skills related to polynomial factoring, specifically in the context of quadratics with a leading coefficient.
