When we factor polynomials, we use the following methods:
For all polynomials:
⇒ GCF
For binomials:
⇒ Difference of Two Squares (DOTS)
⇒ Sum or difference of two cubes (SDOTC)
For trinomials:
⇒ Perfect Square Trinomial (PST)
⇒ Quadratic Trinomial (QT)
For multinomials:
⇒ Factoring by Grouping (FBG)
