A quadratic equation can be solved by factoring, completing the square method, graphing and using quadratic formula. A quadratic equation has two solutions, called roots. The two solutions may be or may not be distinct and may or may not be real. A quadratic equation is solved by completing the square method by using the following steps:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-889\" src=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"516\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-890\" src=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"427\" height=\"515\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-891\" src=\"https:\/\/schooltutoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Completing-the-square-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"172\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SchoolTutoring Academy is the premier educational services company for K-12 and college students.
