General Solution For A Quadratic by Completing the Square
Okay, I changed this from a quadratic with coefficient one to basically just a derivation of the quadratic formula. I feel this fits the section better and is more useful knowlegewise. However, I have some Latex problems that someone needs to fix...
PenguinIntegral-I fixed one of the problems by adding * for mulitplication. It's just a quick hack solution, I hope the latex problem get's fixed.
