Factoring

Problems in the form...

ax² + b = c(dx + e)
     A common factor factors out of both terms. There is no further factoring.
 
x² + bx + c = (x + d)(x + e)
     Coefficient of x² is always 1
 
ax² + bx + c = (ax + d)(x + e)
     Coefficient of x in one of the factored terms is always 1
 
ax² + bx + c = (dx + e)(fx + g)
     Coefficient of x in both of the factored terms is never 1
 
ax² + bx + c = d(x + e)(x + f)
     After factoring out a common factor from all terms, the coefficient of x² is always 1
 
ax² + bx + c = d(ex + f)(gx + h)
     After factoring out a common factor from all terms, the coefficient of x in both of the factored terms is never 1
 
a²x² - b² = (ax + b)(ax - b)
     A perfect square minus a perfect square.
 
a²cx² - b²c = c(ax + b)(ax - b)
     After factoring out a common factor from both terms, a perfect square minus a perfect square.
