    To factor by grouping,
place the 4 terms in the box:
2c2+8c+3c+12
+3c
?
2c2

?
Type the GCF of each row and column

There are many
ways to split +11c.

Use the chart to show
a few terms that
simplify to +11c:
This trinomial can
be factored by
grouping IF
you split +11c
into two terms.

the only way
you can
factor by
grouping...
