Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring and Completing Perfect Squares

Introduction

Quadratic equations can be solved in three main ways:

1. Factoring, which changes the sum of algebraic terms into a product form.
2. Completing the square, which changes the general form into a perfect-square form.
3. The quadratic formula or abc formula, which gives the roots directly.
