Learn how to factor a trinomial by factoring it twice

The video tutorial addresses common mistakes in factoring, emphasizing the importance of factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the start. It explains that while X is a common factor, the GCF in the given example is X^3. The tutorial then demonstrates how to factor a quadratic expression using this technique, making the process easier once the GCF is identified.

How can you factor the quadratic expression obtained after factoring out the GCF?
