So what I'm going to teach you is a technique called, factoring by grouping. And it's a little bit more involved than what we've learned before, but it's a neat trick.

We're asked to factor this expression by grouping. Now, they mention grouping, we're going to see what grouping is, but we're going to see very quickly that we have to do this thing called …

We're asked to factor 4y squared plus 4y, minus 15. And whenever you have an expression like this, where you have a non-one coefficient on the y squared, or on the second degree term-- it …
