So far, you have learned to solve quadratic equations

by either taking the roots or by factoring.
Unfortunately, these methods are not always
applicable.

In this lesson, you will learn another method in solving

quadratic equations by completing the square that
will also enforce your skills acquired from the previous
technique you have learned.

SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

Another method to solve a quadratic equation is by

completing the square. This method involves transforming the
quadratic equation into the form where

Why do you think that the value of k should be positive? What

would happen if it is negative?
