This document discusses different methods for solving quadratic equations, including finding square roots, solving perfect square trinomials, and completing the square. It provides examples of how to isolate the variable, take square roots, factor perfect square trinomials, add constants to complete the square, and solve quadratic equations using these techniques. Homework problems are assigned from the textbook.
