Identifying Zeros of Perfect Square Quadratic Functions by Factoring

This video tutorial teaches how to identify zeros of perfect square quadratic functions by factoring. It begins with an introduction to the perfect square pattern and explains how to factor such quadratics. The tutorial then covers finding zeros by setting the factored form equal to zero and solving for x. It also discusses the graphical representation of zeros and provides a general formula for finding them. Common mistakes in identifying zeros are highlighted, with corrections provided.
