Learn how to factor a trinomial when it is raised to the fourth power

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring polynomials without a greatest common factor (GCF). It begins by introducing the concept and setting up an example problem involving Z squared. The instructor guides the students through identifying numbers that multiply to a given product and add to a specific sum. The method is then extended to polynomials with higher powers, specifically Z to the 4th power. The tutorial concludes with the presentation of the final factored form, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between the numbers involved.
