Learn how to factor out a variable from a binomial expression

The video tutorial demonstrates how to factor the polynomial 4y^3 + y. It begins by identifying common factors, specifically focusing on the common factor 'y'. The process involves factoring out 'y' to simplify the expression to 4y^2 + 1. The tutorial also addresses common misconceptions, such as mistaking the expression for a difference of squares. Finally, it verifies the factored form by multiplying back to ensure accuracy, concluding with the correct factored form of the polynomial.
