Factoring out a negative 1 to complete the square and graph your parabola

The video tutorial covers solving quadratic equations by factoring and completing the square. It explains the process of grouping terms, factoring out constants, and using the vertex form for graphing. The tutorial also discusses the concepts of domain and range, and how to determine the maximum or minimum points of a graph. The teacher emphasizes understanding the axis of symmetry and the effects of negative coefficients on graph orientation.
