Personally, I am really struggling with the complete the square problems.  Especially when the "a" value is not equal to 1.  I have always struggle with factors and multiplication, so trying to find the "GCF" or numbers that multiply to make the "c" and add to make the "b" are very difficult for me.  The HARDEST part of the whole process is probably when there are are multiple fractions to work with along with the multiplication and factoring.  Does anyone else have this problem?
