Determining the roots of a quadratic equation by factoring when a is not one

The video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by setting them equal to zero and applying the zero product property. It covers factoring quadratics using the diamond method and the box method, and demonstrates how to find factors that multiply to a specific product and add to a specific sum. The tutorial concludes with solving the factored equation to find the roots.
