Factoring a prime polynomial when a is greater than one 2x^2+3x–6

The video tutorial explains how to factor quadratic expressions, specifically focusing on the expression 2x^2 + 3x - 3. The instructor guides students through identifying factors, calculating the product 8*C, and finding factor combinations for -12. Ultimately, it is concluded that the expression is prime and cannot be factored further. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of writing down potential factors to aid in the process.
