Factoring by Grouping
Factoring by grouping is commonly used when there are more than three terms in the polynomial. It is
possible to group more than once in any given problem. Also, be aware that the terms do not necessarily
need to be grouped evenly. This means a polynomial with 4 terms could be grouped with the first 3 terms,
then the last. Pay attention to the coefficients in the polynomials. Look for patterns. There are clues telling
you grouping must be used.
A) x3 − x 2 + 2 x − 2 B) x3 + 5 x 2 − 5 x − 25 C) x 2 − ax + cx − ac
D) 5 x3 − 10 x 2 + 3 x − 6 E) x3 − 4 x 2 + 6 x − 24 F) x 2 + 2 xy + y 2 − z 2
G) 10 x 3 + 8 x 2 + 15 xy + 12 y H) 2 x 3 − 10 x 2 + 4 x − 20 I) 3x 2 + xy − 3 xz − yz
The following questions were designed to give you a hard time ☺! You will need to use all of your
knowledge on factoring for the following questions. Remember to always look at the problem to make sure
there is nothing else you can do. Pay particular attention to any factor that is greater than a first degree
polynomial.
D) 2 x 4 − 58 x 2 + 200 E) x5 − 4 x 3 − x 2 + 4 F) x 6 − 64
G) 6 x 2 + 2 xy − 3 xz − yz H) x 2 − z 2 + y 2 − 2 xy I) 16 x 2 − y 2 − 2 yz − z 2
