    I remember this from school over 40 yrs ago. Remembering (a-b)^2=a^b-2ab+b^2 means forming a a^2-2ab+b^2 on one side. Funnily enough, my first instinct was to multiply by 2 to make 4x^2 etc. But factoring out 2 is easier lol. Thanks for reminding me of this technique. Isolating a^2-2ab to one side and adding +b^2 to both sides "completes the square".

    You know, this would make more sense if you taught it using an area model. This allows you to see why you divide the "b term" in half and square it. You should also consider doing a video on the Po-Shen Loh method for solving equations, making sure to use a graph when explaining it. You could also use an area model to introduce students to the P-Q Formula. I recently learned about it from people outside the U.S. It's like a condensed version of the Quadratic Formula. I prefer it.

    There is a technical issue with the way you handle square roots. The root sign refers only to the principal square root. For roots of positive real numbers this is of course the positive root. So √4=2 not ±2. The correct approach would be to say things such as x²=4⇒x=±√4=±2. To say √(x²)=√4 is true but eliminates one of the solutions and √(x²)=±√4 adds nothing to this as one principal root cannot be the negative of another.

    I don't remember using the CTS method while taking Algebra way back when, so I guess it's a new technique placed thereafter. Be that as it may, I don't see the purpose for it over factoring or the QF , since CTS is very sloppy and prone to mistakes.

      8 = 81/4 then he subtracted -8 from both sides then it was -8 + 81/4 then the denominator has to be the same 4, 4 x -8 = -32 81 -32 = 49, 49/4. hope you understand but it was confusing.

    Couldn't you just factor x^2 - 9x+8=0 into (X-1)(x-8)=0 ? That being the case (X-1)= 0 therefore X=1 or (X-8) = 0; therefore X = 8. Same answer, a lot easier; in the case where poly = 0??

    So, I solved the original equation by factoring, and quickly arrived at values of X as X = (1,8) HOWEVER, as convoluted as C.T.S. Is, I can see where it would allow the solution of equations that did not factor to whole numbers. Another tool for the box, that I will need to learn how to use and keep sharp.

    "quadratic always have two solutions" -- Incorrect. Consider this one:

    (x+2)(x+2) = 0
    x = -2
    There is my proof.

    You have completed the square to solve an equation, but what you have not covered is just completing the square of a quadratic expression. In fact this video may have students dividing through by the coefficient in x squared when it is not an equation leading to errors.

    Good lord! I solved the equation in my head in about 10 seconds. NO FRACTIONS NECESSARY!!! and basically 3 steps to the solution.
    CTS is NOT the way to solve this one. Simple factoring for this one:
    FACTOR 2x^2 - 18x + 16 into 2(x^2 - 9x + 8) = 0
    Divide each side by 2
    FACTOR x^2 - 9x + 8 and you get
    (x - 1)(x - 8) = 0
    Divide each side of that (above) by one of the binomial terms, then divide that (above) by the other binomial to get each term isolated, thus:
    x - 1 = 0
    x - 8 = 0
    SIMPLE
    x = 1 or x = 8
