Vertex max or max using completing the square

The video tutorial explains the process of completing the square by creating a perfect square trinomial. It begins with an introduction to the concept of creating a square and the conditions needed for a perfect square trinomial. The tutorial then details the steps to form a perfect square trinomial, including grouping terms and using standard form. It further explains how to simplify the expression into vertex form and identify the vertex. Finally, it discusses the importance of balancing equations by adding and subtracting terms on both sides.
