In this video I work through 12 examples of solving quadratic equations using the square root method and completing the square. Even though we could solve each quadratic equation by factoring or ...

First we need to complete the square to get the coordinates of the turning point. \(y = {x^2} + 2x + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} - 1 + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} + 2\) Therefore ...

Now try the example questions below. Since -1 < 0, then it is a maximum turning point. \({b^2} - 4ac\) where \(a = - 1,\,b = 2\,and\,c = - 3\) \(= {2^2} - (4 \times ...
