Is there a math problem that can be solved by completing the square AND the quadratic formula?
The roots of any quadratic equation can be found by either method. Which of the two you use may depend on nothing more than your preferences (or exam instructions!). There is never a need to use both methods since if you have used one you have the answer so why bother with the other.
