Factoring Trinomials with Leading Coefficient Not Equal to 1: AC Method Explained

On this lesson on factoring trinomials, you will learn how to factor a trinomial when a is not 1. When the leading coefficient is greater than one, the factoring process (the AC method) is a bit different--let's see why!
