Answer to Problem 5SGR

The given statement is false and the expression with four or more unlike terms can sometimes be not factored by grouping.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Expression with four or more unlike terms can sometimes be factored by grouping.

The expression with 4 or more unlike terms can not be factored always.

For example:

  $x^2-2x+3x+6=x\left(x-2\right)+3\left(x+2\right)$

The above expression cannot be factorized anymore.

Hence, the given statement is false.
