Solving a quadratic by factoring a trinomial when a is equal to one

The video tutorial covers solving quadratic equations by factoring. It begins with an introduction to factoring problems and explains why inverse operations used in linear equations are not applicable here. The instructor introduces the diamond method for factoring and demonstrates how to apply the zero product property to find solutions. The tutorial concludes with verifying the solutions by substituting them back into the equation.
