Factoring a trinomial using grouping to solve a quadratic equation

The video tutorial explains how to set an equation equal to zero by replacing Y with zero, emphasizing the importance of finding where the graph crosses the X-axis. It introduces an alternative technique for factoring equations, focusing on determining factors that multiply to a product and add to a sum. The tutorial then demonstrates the grouping method for factoring, highlighting the process of finding the greatest common factor (GCF) and using it to simplify equations.
