Factor polynomials by grouping in quartic, cubic, and quadratic functions.
The core standards covered in this lesson
F.IF.C.8.A — Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
A.SSE.A.2 — Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x<sup>4</sup> — y<sup>4</sup> as (x²)² — (y²)², thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x² — y²)(x² + y²).
