Factoring polynomial and bionmials trinomials!

[Guest PeterPeter]

I dont understand this at all, i dont seem to get the logic in this, ive seen my helpful little rules to memorize but i dont seem to recognize it when i face a factoring problem, is there any tricks or some logical concept on this topic?

Perhaps if you put a few of the problems that you might have trouble with up on the board, the members can advise how they would approach them. For most of them itts all a bit fuzzy - a mixture of guesswork, rules of thumb etc - whatever work for you.... I think its that form of problem that the only way is graft - and suddenly you realise that your intuitions are honed and sharp. And perhaps ask for this post to be moved to the homework help section where you might get more replies
