Tutorial - Learn the best method to factoring a trinomial when a is not 1 ex 13, 3n^2 -17n+10

The video tutorial explains how to factor trinomials using the AC method. It begins with an introduction to the importance of factoring and the AC method, followed by a detailed explanation of the method. The tutorial then demonstrates how to apply the AC method by finding factors that multiply to a specific product and add to a specific sum. The process includes rewriting the trinomial and using grouping to factor the polynomial. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps for factoring trinomials when the leading coefficient is not 1.
