What do I need to know to solve a quadratic

This video tutorial covers essential knowledge for solving quadratics algebraically, focusing on factoring techniques. It emphasizes the importance of understanding factoring, including factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF), and special techniques like the difference of two squares and perfect square trinomials. The tutorial also explains the zero product property and its application when inverse operations are not possible. Additionally, it discusses the use of inverse operations with the square root property for specific quadratic equations.
