@skittozoe It's because this method is actually fairly bad: what you should do is square the number insinde the brackets, and subtract it because you are trying to make it equal the original equation.
dude u have no idea how much your videos have helped me. My teacher in school is so hard to understand and plus its hard to concentrate. Here in the comfort of my home, i can sit down and learn something. u make it seem so relaxed. thank u. so much!
probably the longest and most complicated method, the Quadratic formula is much more efficient since you can find the vertex and the zeros with it and its quite faster.
The quadratic formula is a version of completing the square. Knowing the completing the square method from this video could give a student the upper hand with knowledge of the details of solving a quadratic equation.
the problem is, some people have trouble using "input formulas" and work better with "shortcuts" such as completing the square. i prefer the formula approach to things.
It is obvious some of you are not teachers. Completing the square is a necessary skill to learn as some calculations outside of factoring may require it. He knows what he is doing. Shut up and learn.
This is a very good video. Yet I'm finding examples where the second number is even when my equation reads 2y^2-5y-7=0 and I can't for the life of a good grade solve this!
perrildearioto, it is quite simple, you just have to multiply both sides of the equation by negative 1, and you will get 2x^2+6x-15=0. i believe you can solve the equation from here
in order to get rid of (n-2/3)2 we have to square both sides. When we try to square 7/9s we see that 7 can't be squared but the 9 can (square root of 9 is 3). After squaring the 9 we are left with the (square root of 7) / 3
(You're probably past this in your studies, but here's an explanation...)
NOT because "a" (the leading coefficient) = 1!
If I told you that x^2 + 6x + SOMETHING was a perfect square trinomial, how would you find out what SOMETHING is?
Perfect square trinomials are in the form:
a^2 + 2ab + b^2. In quadratics, "a" is usually X, and "b" is usually a CONSTANT (number, like 3 or -8). If we set x^2+6x+SOMETHING =a^2+2ab+b^2, we get:

if a quadratic does not factor easily you can always use the quadratic formula:
[-b+-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

perrildearioto, it is quite simple, you just have to multiply both sides of the equation by negative 1, and you will get 2x^2+6x-15=0. i believe you can solve the equation from here

NOT because "a" (the leading coefficient) = 1!
If I told you that x^2 + 6x + SOMETHING was a perfect square trinomial, how would you find out what SOMETHING is?
Perfect square trinomials are in the form:
a^2 + 2ab + b^2. In quadratics, "a" is usually X, and "b" is usually a CONSTANT (number, like 3 or -8). If we set x^2+6x+SOMETHING =a^2+2ab+b^2, we get:
x=a
6x=2ab -> 6a=2ab -> b=3.
So b^2 is 9, which we add to both sides.
