Factor Polynomials (Order 3) - By Grouping to Order 2 Factors, Coefficient 1

This math topic focuses on the technique of factoring third-order (cubic) polynomials by grouping into second-order (quadratic) factors, specifically when the leading coefficient is one. It is an introductory part of a larger unit on factoring higher-order polynomials. The problems present different cubic polynomials, challenging learners to factor them by grouping to simplify the expression. Each problem provides multiple-choice answers, allowing for practice in selecting the correct factorization by recognizing patterns and applying grouping strategies effectively.
