Quadratic Equations and Multiplication

The video tutorial explains how to factor a quadratic equation using different methods. It begins with an introduction to the quadratic equation and the importance of factoring it. The FOIL method is explained, focusing on multiplying first and last terms. The video then explores identifying factors and using a guess and check method to find the correct factors. Finally, the solution is found using the zero product property, resulting in the values of w.
