Learn the basics of how to factor a trinomial without doing a problem

The video tutorial covers various methods of factoring quadratic equations, starting with the square root form for equations of the form Y = aX^2 + C. It then discusses factoring using the greatest common factor (GCF) and the zero product property. The tutorial highlights challenges in factoring standard form equations and introduces the diamond method as a solution, particularly when a = 1. The diamond method involves labeling coefficients, finding values that multiply to C and add to B, and using these to form factors.
