Factor by grouping:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%5E3%2B2x%5E2-14x-4\"$ Group as follows:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287x%5E3%2B2x%5E2%29-%2814x%2B4%29\"$ Note the change of sign on the last term! Now factor $\"x%5E2\"$ from the first group and $\"2\"$ from the second group.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%287x%2B2%29-2%287x%2B2%29\"$ Factor the common term ( $\"7x%2B2\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287x%2B2%29%28x%5E2-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
