Factoring when a is greater than one

The video tutorial explains how to factor a quadratic polynomial using the AC method and factoring by grouping. It begins with an introduction to the problem and the initial approach to factoring. The tutorial then demonstrates the application of the AC method to find factors that multiply to a specific product and add to a specific sum. It continues by rewriting the polynomial and using factoring by grouping to simplify it. The importance of using the correct method for factoring, especially when the leading coefficient is not one, is emphasized throughout the tutorial.
