I'm going to assume that you know
how to factor the basic stuff like trinomials and the difference of
two squares... What you
really need for Calculus 1 is what I'm going to show you here.
This is a very specific type of factoring that will pop up when you
have to clean up your answers on a certain Calculus technique.
With that in mind, the following examples are designed with some
unique patterns.
Let's start with some really easy
stuff to get you into the pattern of what's going on.

This one has the same pattern:

![5( x - 2 ) + 6( x - 2 )^2 = ( x - 2 )[ 5 + 6( x - 2 )] = ( x - 2 )( 6x - 7 )](images/26-tools-02.gif) |
