We cannot always factor a quadratic equation when we need to solve it. There is a method called completing the square that changes the quadratic equation so that it can be factored and solved. The method is lengthy and involved. I showed Hunter a visual example of it, then we worked through several exercises using the method. Hunter was able to do the problems, but had some difficulty. I mostly wanted to give him exposure to the process. He completed p. 278 (41-46) p. 281 (4-9), p. 285 (7-12) and p. 285 (1,3,5,13,15,17,19)
