Step 1 :
If the given polynomial expressions with four terms, group the four terms into two pairs.
Step 2 :
Find the greatest common factor and take it out.
Step 3 :
Factor the common binomial out of the groups, the other factors will make the other binomial.
Problem 1 :
x2 + 4x – 5x - 20
Solution :
Given, x2 + 4x – 5x – 20
By grouping,
= (x2 + 4x) + (-5x – 20)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(x + 4) – 5(x + 4)
= (x + 4) (x – 5)
Problem 2 :
x2 - 7x + 3x - 21
Solution :
Given, x2 - 7x + 3x – 21
By grouping,
= (x2 - 7x) + (3x – 21)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(x - 7) + 3(x - 7)
= (x - 7) (x + 3)
Problem 3 :
x2 - 3x + 2x - 6
Solution :
Given, x2 - 3x + 2x – 6
By grouping,
= (x2 - 3x) + (2x – 6)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3)
= (x - 3) (x + 2)
Problem 4 :
x2 - 6x - 3x + 18
Solution :
Given, x2 - 6x - 3x + 18
By grouping,
= (x2 - 6x) + (-3x + 18)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(x - 6) - 3(x - 6)
= (x - 6) (x - 3)
Problem 5 :
x2 + 7x - 9x - 63
Solution :
Given, x2 + 7x - 9x – 63
By grouping,
= (x2 + 7x) + (-9x – 63)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(x + 7) - 9(x + 7)
= (x + 7) (x - 9)
Problem 6 :
2x2 + x - 6x - 3
Solution :
Given, 2x2 + x - 6x – 3
By grouping,
= (2x2 + x) + (-6x – 3)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1)
= (2x + 1) (x - 3)
Problem 7 :
3x2 + 2x - 12x - 8
Solution :
Given, 3x2 + 2x - 12x – 8
By grouping,
= (3x2 + 2x) + (-12x – 8)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(3x + 2) - 4(3x + 2)
= (3x + 2) (x - 4)
Problem 8 :
4x2 - 3x - 8x + 6
Solution :
Given, 4x2 - 3x - 8x + 6
By grouping,
= (4x2 - 3x) + (-8x + 6)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(4x - 3) - 2(4x - 3)
= (4x - 3) (x - 2)
Problem 9 :
9x2 + 4x - 9x - 4
Solution :
Given, 9x2 + 4x - 9x + 6
By grouping,
= (9x2 + 4x) + (-9x + 6)
By taking the common factor, we get
= x(9x + 4) - 1(9x + 4)
= (9x + 4) (x - 1)
Problem 10 :
Factor 5x3 + 25x2 + 2x + 10
Solution :
= 5x3 + 25x2 + 2x + 10
Factoring 5x2 from first two terms and 2 from last two terms.
= 5x2 (x + 5) + 2(x + 5)
= (5x2 + 2) (x + 5)
Problem 11 :
Factor x3 + 2x2 + 3x + 6
Solution :
= x3 + 2x2 + 3x + 6
Factoring x2 from first two terms and 3 from last two terms.
= x2 (x + 2) + 3(x + 2)
= (x2 + 3) (x + 2)
Problem 12 :
Factor x3 - 6x2 + 4x - 24
Solution :
= x3 - 6x2 + 4x - 24
Factoring x2 from first two terms and 4 from last two terms.
= x2 (x - 6) + 4(x - 6)
= (x2 + 4) (x - 6)
Problem 13 :
Factor x3 - 4x2 - 5x + 20
Solution :
= x3 - 4x2 - 5x + 20
Factoring x2 from first two terms and -5 from last two terms.
= x2 (x - 4) - 5(x - 4)
= (x2 - 5) (x - 4)
Problem 14 :
Factor x3 - 5x2 - 2x + 10
Solution :
= x3 - 5x2 - 2x + 10
Factoring x2 from first two terms and -2 from last two terms.
= x2 (x - 5) - 2(x - 5)
= (x2 - 2) (x - 5)
Problem 15 :
Factor x3 + 4x2 + 5x + 20
Solution :
= x3 + 4x2 + 5x + 20
Factoring x2 from first two terms and 5 from last two terms.
= x2 (x + 4) + 5(x + 4)
= (x2 + 5) (x + 4)
Problem 16 :
Factor x3 + 2x2 - 3x - 6
Solution :
= x3 + 2x2 - 3x - 6
Factoring x2 from first two terms and -3 from last two terms.
= x2 (x + 2) - 3(x + 2)
= (x2 - 3) (x + 2)

Factor x3- 2x2 - 5x + 10
Solution :
= x3- 2x2 - 5x + 10
Factoring x2 from first two terms and -5 from last two terms.
= x2 (x - 2) - 5(x - 2)
= (x2 - 5) (x - 2)
