No it can't always be factored

Darrell Ruiz · Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

it's not always possible to factor a quadratic expression of this factoring by grouping. The method doesn't work when an expression cannot be factored as (Ax+B) (Cx+D) where A, B, C and D are integrers.

In that case, you should use other methods.
