Solving Quadratic Equations Week 4

This document discusses three methods for solving quadratic equations: factorization, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. Factorization involves factorizing the equation to get the factors and then solving. Completing the square rewrites the equation in a form where the left side is a perfect square trinomial and then solves for x. The quadratic formula, ax^2 + bx + c = 0, can be used to solve any quadratic equation by plugging the coefficients a, b, and c into the formula. Examples are provided for how to apply each of these three methods to solve specific quadratic equations.
