Learn how to find the solutions x intercepts and vertex of a quadratic in vertex form ex 7

The video tutorial explains how to find the X intercepts and vertex of a quadratic equation in vertex form. It begins by identifying the vertex, then moves on to finding the X intercepts by substituting zero for Y and solving using the square root method. The tutorial also discusses the concept of complex numbers when dealing with negative square roots, leading to solutions involving imaginary numbers.
