Learn to describe and solve for the zeros using completing the square

The video tutorial explores solving a quadratic equation by factoring, quadratic form, and completing the square. Initial attempts at factoring are unsuccessful, leading to the use of completing the square. The process involves isolating variables, factoring out constants, and using the formula B/2 squared. The solution is simplified to find the roots, which are identified as irrational due to the presence of sqrt 2. The tutorial concludes by comparing the solution to what would be obtained using the quadratic formula.
