This is one of the most despised lessons in Algebra. If you have a good foundation in factoring by grouping and you a fool-proof method of factoring that works every time (without ever using the guess and check method), give this lesson a try. Great factoring resources make this lesson a well-rounded, very complete lesson in and of itself. If you ever struggle with factoring a trinomial, this is the lesson for you.
