Completing the square and finding the x intercepts

The video tutorial explains the process of completing the square, a method used to solve quadratic equations. It begins with an introduction to the concept and its benefits, such as converting equations to standard form and finding vertices. The tutorial compares factoring with completing the square and provides a step-by-step guide to the latter. It also covers the creation of a perfect square trinomial and demonstrates how to find the vertex and zeros of a quadratic equation using this method.
