Solving Quadratic Equations Concepts

This video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by completing the square. It begins with moving the constant term to the right side of the equation, then adds a constant to form a perfect square trinomial. The tutorial continues by factoring the trinomial and solving the equation, ultimately finding complex solutions. The process is broken down into clear steps, with explanations of key concepts like perfect square trinomials and complex numbers.
