y = ax^2 +bx+c, Solve by factoring when a is greater than one ex 27, 0 = -2x^2 - 8x - 13

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations using the AC method, focusing on cases where the absolute value of A is greater than one. It introduces the diamond method for factoring and provides a step-by-step guide to finding factors that multiply to a specific product and add to a specific sum. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the process and offers examples to illustrate the method.
