How Solve a Quadratic by Completing the Square Leading Coefficient is NOT 1 [Worked Example] Algebra

Be sure to subscribe to the channel!

In this follow up video to Completing the Square (https://youtu.be/Z1qrF_d9Gx4) I show you how to Solve a Quadratic Equation by Completing the Square when the Leading Coefficient is NOT 1. Not only do I work through a specific example, but I also give you a strategy to follow for Completing the Square and solving quadratic equations by completing the square. Additionally, I explain the difference between an exact solution and an approximate solution and give some tips for when you solve these kinds of problems.

Also in this example I point out a few common misconceptions that students have when Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square as well as common errors that I've seen in the classroom.

Hope this helps you.

Please let me know in the comments if you have any problems from Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, Calculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Probability and Statistics, or AP Statistics that you'd like me to do a video on.
