Quadratic Formula by Completing the Square
In this video I solve the quadratic equation by completing the square to obtain the famous quadratic formula. I had done a similar video 13 years ago so I thought it was time to do an updated one. Completing the square involves working backwards from the quadratic equation to obtain a form that has a square, that is of the form (x + d)2. From here we can take the square root and rearrange to solve for x, which obtains 2 values because of the nature of the square root.
