This document provides instructions for solving quadratic equations by completing the square. It explains that you can complete the square by adding a constant to both sides of the equation to make the quadratic term a perfect square. You then take the square root of both sides to solve for x. It also notes that when the leading coefficient is not 1, you must first divide both sides by the coefficient a. Finally, it shows that completing the square allows you to derive the quadratic formula, which can be used to solve any quadratic equation in standard form.
