To factor a trinomial in the form of x squared plus bx plus c, we use the same exact method as the ac method. So, bear with me for a little while and then I’ll show you the shortcut. In order to use ...

To factor a trinomial in the form of ax squared plus bx plus c we are going to use the "ac" method. Notice that the “a” and the “c” are multiplied together and that's exactly what we are going to do.
