Completing the Square Example
In the following video, I give 1 example of how you can use completing the square to find solutions to quadratic equations. The steps are as follows: the leading coefficient must be 1 if not divide throughout the expression by that value. Then isolate for the quadratic and linear terms, e.g. x^2 term and x term. Add the square of half of the linear term to both sides. Factoring gives you a perfect square and you can quickly identify the answer from there. Best, KobeTutors.
