The document explains how to solve quadratic equations by completing the square. It defines a perfect square trinomial as having the form x^2 + bx + c, where c is the square of half of b. It provides steps for completing the square, which involves adding a constant term to both sides of the equation such that the left side becomes a perfect square trinomial that can be factorized. This process results in the solution(s) to the quadratic equation. Two examples demonstrating this process are included.
