How to find the solutions of a quadratic equation by factoring a perfect square trinomial

The video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by setting them to zero and identifying non-standard forms. It contrasts the long method, which involves multiplying coefficients, with a quicker method that leverages square numbers. The tutorial demonstrates the application of this quick method, emphasizing the importance of recognizing square terms and their roots. The session concludes with solving an example equation and summarizing the key points.
