This is a decision tree diagram designed to assist students in determining the appropriate factoring method for binomial expressions in algebra. It starts with the initial decision point of whether there is a greatest common factor (GCF) other than one, branching into different factoring techniques such as special cases, difference of squares, difference of cubes, and sum of cubes, depending on the structure of the algebraic expression. This educational tool simplifies the process of learning complex algebraic factoring techniques, making it a handy reference for students and educators alike.
