Once you learn how to factor binomials, it leads into factoring things greater. It also makes it easier if you understood. Polynomials have a pattern of factoring by grouping, which is relatively simple once you pick up on how to do it. To factor a trinomial, that might've been the simplest concept I understood. The patterns simplify the thought process and are an excellent way of solving with more than 3 terms.

Factoring binomials trinomials, and polynomials one great technique would be by using any method,it's simply and is much easier to do than tring to factor the what is told you do what you feel is stronger for you to do, and/or weaker.either way your a rebel from the textbook.

I think that with factoring binomials, trinomials, and polynomials with more than three terms, factoring by grouping seemed the easiest and most effective way to me because it worked with most of the equations that were given. The sum or difference patterns worked great with the equations which had X to the power of 3.

I believe that the easiest way to factor any type of "nomials" is to use grouping. I think this because whenever I am using the grouping process I can always "forsee" the answer and quickly do it in my head.

I think the sum and difference of cubes can really help in factoring binomials because it is given like a formula. Still, I like grouping better, out of these new concepts, and I find it easier to factor a polynomial with more than three terms. But the simplest way is still factoring a trinomial using the zero product property.

Now that we learned how to factor binomials, trinomials and polynomials it's great to learn all the ways to do so. But I prefer grouping because it's the easiest and less time consuming :D

Factoring binomials is definitely alot easier than factoring trinomials is. After you learn the simpler ways to factor, the harder ways seem better. Factoring trinomials takes alot of practice and patience. When its a differece or sum of squares the factors are so simple to get. Solving polynomials with more than three terms is easiest to solve, if you solve by grouping.
