Several students have mentioned about being uncomfortable with "factorization." I would like those students to please tell me to what they are referring. Factoring trinomials? Factoring by grouping? Completing the square? Factoring higher order polynomials? Removing perfect factors from within radicals? Removing common factors from expressions? Finding the greatest common factor of two or more terms?
Be specific; consider giving an example or two.

Sir, about factorization I don't understand a single thing about how to solve them. That's why I almost all the time use the Quadratic Formula for the problems that could be solve neither way. But using the Quadratic Formula is not the best choise because it takes a lot of time during an exam. I want your help on this topic to improve my math skills and to be able to dominate this topic.
Thanks.
Susy V, I you find it complex to factorize, you can ask for my help any time you want because I consider myself capable of dominating this topic. I learned it well and if I have any doubts or problems, will might as well solve them together, that way we can both learn.
As Bee, I have a clear understanding of this topic; you can also ask me for help. What I can tell you is that it’s not favorable to learn only the way where you have to memorize a formula, like quadratic formula, because you’ll have no understanding to solve other problems.
