1. Look for a GCF and factor that out 5 x 2 + 5 x+ 5 2. If there are only two terms ( both perfect squares with a subtraction sign inbetween) Use Difference of Squares 9 x 2 -25 3. If its a trinomial with perfect squares at both ends. Use the Perfect Square trinomial method. x 2 +4x+ 4 4. If the coeffeicint of the first term equals 1 Use Reverse FOIL x 2 +8x+15 5. If the coefficient ot the first term does not equal one Use the Trinomial where A does not equal 1 method 14 x 2 +31x-10
