This math topic focuses on the skill of factoring quadratic equations with a leading coefficient. Specifically, the tasks involve splitting quadratic expressions of the form ax² + bx + c into terms by finding two numbers that add up to the middle coefficient 'b' and multiply to the product of the first and last coefficients 'ac'. The problems are presented in a progressive format, challenging the learner to apply this technique to factorize different quadratic expressions involving various variables ('p', 't', 'm', 'r', 'q'). Each question is designed to reinforce understanding through practical application of polynomial factoring concepts.
