How to factor the GCF and then by difference of two squares

The video tutorial demonstrates how to factor a binomial by identifying common terms and using the greatest common factor (GCF) and the difference of squares method. It explains the process of factoring out the GCF and then applying the difference of squares to achieve the factored form. The tutorial also covers understanding exponents and writing terms as squares, providing a comprehensive guide to factoring polynomials.
