MORE ON QUADRATICS

Unit Overview
In this unit, you will learn how to write a quadratic equation in vertex form by using a process called completing the square. Completing the square is a process that turns a quadratic into a perfect square trinomial. You will also solve equations using this process when factoring is not possible. The unit will conclude with the Quadratic Formula that is also used to solve quadratic equations and determine what type of solutions there will be.
