I presume you wrote it that way because you can now factor "3t" out of "6t^2+ 3t and factor "7" out of "14t+ 7". What does that leave?hououin kyouma said:I need to factor 6t^2+17t+7 when I break down the equation I get 6t^2+3t+14t+7

Grouping in factoring is a method of rearranging the terms in a polynomial to identify common factors. This can make factoring more efficient and help simplify the expression.
Grouping is typically used when a polynomial has four or more terms and can be grouped into two pairs with common factors. It can also be used when factoring by grouping is explicitly stated in the instructions.
The basic process for factoring by grouping involves identifying two pairs of terms with common factors, factoring out the common factors, and then factoring the remaining terms to find the final factored expression.
Yes, grouping can be used for any type of polynomial as long as it meets the requirements of having four or more terms that can be grouped into two pairs with common factors.
Some tips for factoring and understanding grouping more easily include practicing with different types of polynomials, using visual aids such as factoring diagrams, and checking your work by multiplying the factored expression to ensure it equals the original polynomial.
