    A useful lesson. Completing the square can be cumbersome. This case lends itself to a much easier solution method. Step One: Multiply the lead coefficient by the constant. 3 x -15 = -45 Step Two: Find factors of -45 that when added give us the coefficient of the second term: 9 and -5 are factors that add to 4. Step Three: Divide the factors of 9 and -5 by the lead coefficient of 3: 9/3 and -5/3. Step Four: Change the signs of 9/3 and -5/3 and simplify -9/3 for the answers of -3 and 5/3.

    When I took Algebra in high school our math teacher spent only one day showing this and the next day, she showed how the quadratic formula came from this method and after that we just used the formula to solve equations. It is much easier using the quadratic formula than going through the completed the square method.

    This equation 3x² + 4x - 15 = 0 can be factored perfectly in (3x-5)(x+3)=0 so I will not complete the square. Also the abc-formula is much easier and more insightful: D = b² -4ac = (4)² - 4.(3).(-15) = 16 + 180 = 196 ( positive so 2 solutions for y = f(x) = 0 ) x-coordinate of top of parabola: xtop = -b/2a = -(4) / (2.3) = - 2/3 distance between xtop and x1,x2 : delta = SQR(D) / 2a = SQR(196) / (2.3) = 14 / 6 = 7/3 x = xtop MINUS/PLUS delta x1 = - 2/3 MINUS 7/3 = -9/3 = - 3 x2 = - 2/3 PLUS 7/3 = 5/3

    Dividing the middle term by 2 (and squaring it) is part of Completing The Square. Dividing something by 2 and multiplying something by 1/2 are equivalent operations. As such, most people just multiply by 1/2 because it's faster (something they can do in their heads).

    @@JosieCat3 Yeah, math is more fun than teachers make it out to be. The only reason I got involved in their education is because my sister came in one day, threw some papers at me, and said, "If you don't figure this out, your niece and nephew are going to fail!" 🤣 We are only one year apart, so we grew up being taught the same way and basically had the same teachers. Besides wanting to help them, I was also curious as to whether or not the more conceptual approach would work better for me that the traditional one did. I quickly learned that, when it comes to math, I'm more of a conceptual math learner. I'm the kind of person that needs to understand mathematical logic (concepts and properties, why something works the way it does) in order to successfully execute algorithms. I also tend to prefer alternative approaches to the standard algorithms. If you're having trouble with this standard approach, you might want to check out approaches that use area models or the Po-Shen Loh method, for example. Good luck!

    With nonmonic quadratic equations, you can avoid the use of fractions until the very last step by using Sridhara's method, which starts by multiplying both sides of the equation by four times the coefficient of the quadratic term and then complete the square by adding and subtracting the square of the coefficient of the linear term of the _original_ equation. Using this method we can solve the equation in the video as follows: 3x² + 4x − 15 = 0 36x² + 48x − 180 = 0 36x² + 48x + 16 − 16 − 180 = 0 (6x + 4)² − 16 − 180 = 0 (6x + 4)² = 196 6x + 4 = 14 ⋁ 6x + 4 = −14 6x = 10 ⋁ 6x = −18 x = 5/3 ⋁ x = −3 With some practice, you can of course skip the third and next to last steps. Alternatively, we can start by bringing the constant term over to the right hand side as you do in the video, then we get 3x² + 4x = 15 36x² + 48x = 180 36x² + 48x + 16 = 196 (6x + 4)² = 196 6x + 4 = 14 ⋁ 6x + 4 = −14 x = 5/3 ⋁ x = −3
