Solve by factoring when a perfect square

The video tutorial explains how to solve a perfect square quadratic equation. It begins by discussing how to identify perfect square numbers and then moves on to solving the quadratic equation by setting it equal to zero. The tutorial also covers handling negative factors and concludes with finding the solution to the quadratic equation.

What is the first step in identifying if a quadratic is a perfect square?

• Check if the last term is a perfect square.

• Check if the middle term is a perfect square.

• Check if the first term is a perfect square.

• Check if the quadratic is factorable.

Which of the following is a perfect square number?

• 6

• 8

• 10

• 9

How do you determine if the middle term of a quadratic is correct for a perfect square?

• It should be half the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.

• It should be the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.

• It should be the sum of the square roots of the first and last terms.

• It should be double the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.

What is the next step after factoring a quadratic as a perfect square?

• Add the factors together.

• Take the square root of both sides.

• Multiply the factors.

• Set the equation to zero.

What is the solution to the quadratic equation X^2 - 4X + 4 = 0?

• X = 0

• X = 1

• X = 2

• X = 4
