Learn to solve a quadratic by the AC method of factoring

The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a quadratic equation by factoring using various methods. It begins with identifying perfect squares and finding the greatest common factor (GCF). The instructor then applies the AC method to factor the quadratic equation and uses grouping to simplify the process. Finally, the zero product property is used to solve the factored equation, providing the solutions for the quadratic.
