The teachers summarizes the discussion
(Factoring general trinomial) through
questions like:

1. How do you factor trinomial?

2. What will you consider in factoring?

Possible responses:

1. To factor trinomial with 1 as the

numerical coefficient of the leading term:

a.Factor the leading term of the trinomial

and write these factors as the leading terms
of the factors;

b.List down all the factors of the last term;

c.Identify which factor pair sums up to the

middle term; then

d.Write each factor in the pairs as the last

term of the binomial factors.

Note: Always perform factoring using

greatest common monomial factor first
before applying any type of factoring.
