04 - Completing the Square to Solve Quadratic Equations - Part 1

Показать описание

In this lesson, we learn that all quadratic equations can be solved by a method known as completing the square. This method involves changing the left side of the quadratic into a perfect square, which means that we can then take the square root of both sides to find the solutions.

All quadratics can be solved this way, even if they aren't factorable. The famous quadratic formula is actually derived and comes from the method of completing the square, which is something we will discuss in a future lesson.

You are one of the best Maths teachers I have ever known. The way you breakdown complex concepts into simple ways for easy understanding is just amazing . You have indeed stimulated further my interest in maths.
Thanks for the freely given tutorial.

OMG I have spent 2 weeks struggling with this concept - and he explains it like MAGIC. Thank you for teaching.

I am in my mid 30s, trying to go back to college for nursing and I have to upgrade both math and chemistry in order to apply for the program. I have been doing review beforehand because they aren't my strong subjects. You have been my teacher in both subjects, I like the way you explain things! Thank you

Best math videos. Thank you. It is fascinating how the process of dividing by 2 and squaring makes the equation workable regardless of values that are not factorable.

you saved me. i could not understand this at all. i tried every video but nothing worked, you are the best teacher

Give this gentleman a Nobel Prize for education! Name him the Friend of Humanity plus a Congressional Medal.
The part of "time 1/2 and square it" is the eye of the needle, which has stopped millions of camels to get through it. Sir, you have done a great job to open the gate to algebra heaven.

Thank u sir, I'm just revising my math knowledge from ur interesting teaching method. Keep it up.

This man has succeeded in elucidating the fact COMPLETING OF SQUARE is still a waste without factoring....
We do🔥 COMPLETING of SQUARES only for us to be able to factor again🔥

Wow is all I can say. Great lesson. Thank you so much.
My brain has been in melt down over x^ + (x+1)^ = 25. I got it down to x^ + x = 12,
but that is as far as I could go. I followed along w/paper & pen, each step.
Starting at 10:15 - 15:25.
My answers are 3 or 4. 3 solves for my x
Yes, it's the old 3, 4, 5 triangle.
