01 - Simplifying Complex Fractions in Algebra, Part 1

[@inarisound]

Jason, thank you so much! I’m 30 y/o dude studying school program because I was never properly taught, and you are a gifted educator that I never had... thank you, and God bless you and your family!❤️

[@MathAndScience]

Welcome!!

[@christineserna8939]

OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you so so much for your easy and logical explanations! No fluff, just straight into it and I don't feel dumb anymore :)

[@deeptoot1453]

Thanks! I am re-learning all of this beacuase I dropped the ball a long time ago in high school. thank you so mucj! I couldn't learn it with just Khan academy.

[@wreckim]

Every single 7th grader that is struggling with algebra should watch this video. This is really an excellent lesson. I would only add that manipulating regular numbers over and over with fractions in 5th grade etc...would only make this much easier. TU!

[@brittanifry1044]

Omg, I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched trying to figure this out, and NONE of those videos explained it in a way that I could understand…UNTIL NOW!! Thank you so much for ACTUALLY explaining the whats and whys.

[@ahow3385]

Oh my gosh I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. God bless you my man. God bless you!

[@timarnold9868]

Excellent training video, the first one solved many of my difficulties. I have been needing a solid explanation like the one provided in this video! Thank you for taking the time to go through the baby steps and explain, yes explain!

[@LeFruFru]

I've been watching these algebra 2 vids for a week now, I'm halfway through. Trying to bone up on algebra before I teach myself precalc so I can test into Calculus. Wish me luck sir. Thank you for these vids these are a public service.

[@daniellabinjo6046]

On the same path mayn my algebra skills are basically non existent so I had to go back and re learn alot of algebra ...Good Luck!

[@Kenzi1000]

How are you doing? Did you manage it? Found this guy to be an excellent teacher, am also teaching myself precalc. Hope you managed it

[@LeFruFru]

@@Kenzi1000 hey thanks for reaching out I wish you all the best. I recommend using some kind of interactive site like a khan academy for quizzing on these subjects. Jason's lecturing tho is top notch. I did test into calculus but decided to take precalc anyway. I am more than prepared. I just want to have even more rigorous knowledge.

[@Kenzi1000]

@@LeFruFru glad to hear! I'm using Khan Academy, but I found some of the lessons a bit lacking when it comes to exponents and complex fractions. Good luck to you!

[@Kage_No_Ken]

Meanwhile in Asia kids are forced to learn calculus at 16 😭

[@tomsdailystudy]

It's close to midnight and I'm at my go-to spot when the problems in the book aren't being explained where I feel confident I can execute them. Math and Science KZbin Channel saves the day again !

[@peaceman1277]

The best teacher in the wold

[@jonwill]

Great Lesson. In the comments it is self evident that you are an excellent educator. Pair this with your generous gift of knowledge and you make the world better. Well done.

[@scottcolmes6570]

Look how straight his lines of writing are, how straight (not wiggly, and not slanted) the lines as graphic elements are. Look how consistently spaced everything is, and how neither over-crowded nor scattered. Even some very good online teachers are less than optimal in this regard. I know that that is not the point, but it does suggest orderly thinking as well respect for the audience. Even with the sound off you would know that this is a true educator. (edit: He could make up his mind how to write "1". But still, what I said.)

[@MathAndScience]

Just wanted to say thank you! I do try very hard to keep things neat and I am happy you noticed that! Jason

[@JamesJakubczyk]

I like especially when you go into detailed explanation and , thumbs up

[@Dhdbidnifnisbd]

Best video i found by far, deserves 100k likes

[@timarnold9868]

I agree!

[@jasminebrown5793]

Your videos are SO SO helpful. I've learned more here than in any class.

[@charliejavani6457]

Amazing teaching skills.

[@salty7172]

Thank you for this, I am almost done with my mah prereq Pre Algebra and introductory to Algebra. This is the only channel that I have gained a true understanding f what I need to do. I graduated back in 1996 with General Math. Both of my math teachers were not for me. I comprehend very well but with math I need some TLC and they didn't give me that time. I was not the kid that goofed off in class either that was the only class that I barely passed. Again thank you kindly!!!!!!:)

[@monapipa8294]

Wow, thank you this really helped me a lot.

[@pragadhesenthil2170]

you literally saved my life sir !

[@Deckinickinic]

I found this extremely helpful, even though I’m not a part of your class. Can’t wait to for more. I wish I had this type of math material teaching when I was back in algebra classes. Makes it easier to understand.

[@MathAndScience]

You are very welcome!

[@guidofeliz8384]

Complex fractions are simply fractions divided by fractions. Let f(x) = a fraction(s) Let g(x) = a fraction(s) So, f(x)/g(x) is a complex fraction where g(x) cannot be 0.

[@katiekrueger2567]

This guy is AWESOME!

[@leagomathabatha7676]

finally got an answer i have been struggling with thank you!

[@georgiacarias2160]

you are an amazing teacher, your videos help me a lot please keep doing what your doing

[@amychu4087]

On the third example it is better to use x and y as variables or a and v in place of u and v because you cannot simply identify on your hand writing which is which.

[@abduljabbarmohammed4188]

If I had Jason as my math tutor in high school, I could be an engineer now.

[@CompSciMajor1]

Great video, thank you for the help.

[@kimwatt8334]

I am so glad I found your videos, you sure are very good at explaining " how to" I am refreshing so I can help my son who is doing virtual learning. Thank you Sir!

[@MathAndScience]

Good luck to you this year!

[@esthermiranda8193]

crying bcuz i wish my alg. teacher was able to explain as good as you

[@coltsimpson6756]

Lmao I am having the same problem and found him to help me with my alg homework. Good luck, bad alg teachers are the worst

[@christineserna8939]

"So don't skip over this stuff--it's not gonna go away.." XD Very true. I was contemplating just skipping and then you hit it right on the money.

[@naderhumood]

Thank you v much indeed Sir. This is really great lesson.

[@vascobishop3359]

The way you handwrite u and v makes it impossible for my dyslexic brain to distinguish them from each other T_T

[@dailysaturday1538]

You are wonderful. Thank you

I was A student until math brought me down to an F: If I only had you as my math teacher!

[@Dr10Jeeps]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@asmrallison]

When you factored out the negative one it blew my mind

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome! Jason, MathAndScience.com

[@dejarenee5864]

@@MathAndScience can you explain why you could factor out the -1? Because i thought whatever you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator? Why wasnt the numerator multiplied by -1 also?

[@therealjuan6184]

@@dejarenee5864He didn't add anything new to the equation when he factored out the negative 1. Lets say you have negative 5 divided by 2; that is the exact same as (negative 1 times 5) divided 2. In other words, you only have to do it to top and bottom if you are adding a new number or new variable. Factoring out a negative doesnt add anything new, it just changes how it looks for convenience. Even simpler: (negative 5) is equal to (negative 1 times 5)

[@JacobMeza]

Does anyone know where I can find Part 2 of this video?

[@WoldieMamo-g9b]

Waw,you make it so easy

[@lindabennett5137]

This is amazing I love it!!

[@andersrosenvinge463]

Where's part 2 and 3? :-) Awesome video btw!

[@Bikash_930]

Thank you teacher for teaching us

[@quakers200]

V to minus two minus u to minus two can be factored to the sum of two squares. That leaves u to minus one plus v to minus one that equals v plus u over vu. Or one over v plus one over u.

[@tresajessygeorge210]

YAY! The 'ugly fraction' video lesson!!

[@larrymcbride79]

Jason, "Invert and Multiply" is easier to remember than "flip inside down", imo..

[@guidofeliz8384]

I want to see Linear Algebra, Partial Differential Equations and Non-euclidean Geometries.

[@jackwilson4324]

Complex fractions aren't hard at all

[@maryannbenedetto8854]

The can get complicated when dealing with multiple denominators.

[@MossA-ox7ys]

So you cross cancelled one U squared and one V squared away but why couldn't you cross cancel the other side?

[@elbeantako8411]

The terms he cancelled he is multiplying U and V. The other side he is subtracting U from V so the rules on exponents are different.

[@Proudmuslimah123]

You are amaaaaazingggggg

[@BrianLopez-gz8ux]

I’m gonna pass this aptitude test

[@asmrallison]

Thanks so much for your video. In the last problem, you canceled out the uv and the squares on the u sq'd times v sq'd, but how come you weren't able to do the same with v sq'd minus u sq'd and v-u? When I did this problem on my own, I ended up with v-u/uv instead of v+u/uv like you had.

[@sammaths2324]

I agree, His method of getting difference of two squares leave = v+u/uv but if you do what you're saying you get = v-u/uv which I am also confused with?

[@jonwill]

@@sammaths2324 I believe the subtraction sign of the other two terms disallow the factoring you mention. Only valid in this context with multiplied terms.

[@izzvenom6013]

very good sir

Nicely done!

[@RealTraumaHealing]

I don't understand why you can change the denominator from 1+ 1/x t0 x/x but you can't change the numerator from x +1 to x/x+1

[@terrygary3879]

I just wanna ask about the part I don't understand. why is v²-u² from the numerator at the left side is not cancelled with the v-u from the denominator of the right side

[@jonwill]

Those are 'terms' (separated by plus or minus) What Jason cancelled were 'factors' (things multiplied against one another) You can cancel factors.

[@jakethemistakeRulez]

Why can't I find part 2 of this?

[@glennsmith3487]

Not bad but would be better without the rattle on that doesnt explain the solution to the problem. e.g. at 18:25 theres rattle on about students getting crazy mixed up etc which does nothing but to take the focus away from the problem solving aspect which in my mind at least then would cause a student to lose concentration on the problem at hand. Not a bad idea to explain wherer a student may get mixed up to another educator but the student doesnt need the focus taken away from the problem so often. Otherwise pretty good explanation.

[@omarali2156]

3 line simplification you have eleaborated 10 lines.

[@guidofeliz8384]

Complex fractions are simply fractions divided by fractions. Let f(x) = a fraction(s) Let g(x) = a fraction(s) So, f(x)/g(x) is a complex fraction where g(x) cannot be 0.

[@MathAndScience]

You got it!

This looks like complex rational expression
