I love how you do so many examples. It's very helpful in making it stick and reminding me of rules that I may have forgotten.

[@carolynpoindexter5473]

Sir, YOU ROCK!!! I have learned so much in literally just minutes and totally love your way of teaching! Thanks for taking such valuable time!

[@FortBendTutoring]

Happy 2 help Carolyn! Thanks 4 watching!

For some reason i enjoy doing math now....... Where they hell were you 10 years ago! Do you do that voice at the beginning of the video? its freaking hilarious, really drew me in! Thanks for these videos! it will save my life!

[@FortBendTutoring]

Lol no! That's a comedian by the name of Chuck Knipp and that's one of his characters that goes by the name "Shirley Q. Liquor"! Thanks 4 the kind words and thanks 4 watching!

Damn! I am pretty clear everything you have tutored so far. Mr. Whitt you are my hero now. Honestly, I have learned a lot and many different teachers but I have picked up quite little, but you are totally different. I have caught up everything you have taught so far. Thanks so much. Five star bravo!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@WonderWallman]

I remember when I was just as good as you at math. I believe it was back in 1st grade.

[@FortBendTutoring]

+Jay Garay You should have kept at it Jay! You could have an award winning KZbin math channel by now!

[@mathew.joseph.serajose.4501]

Sir! do you have any techniques (besides memorization) in regards to finding the largest perfect squares to radicands that aren't perfect squares?

[@FortBendTutoring]

Sure! Break the radicands down using prime factorization (every pair of factors is a perfect square and every product of perfect squares is a perfect square) or use this method (memorization): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3bRpH2qqMhsg80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5Ddep2Dfqh1ac0

[@boxbuyer2008]

Is this an ipad your working on??

[@FortBendTutoring]

Yes, it's an iPad 2.

[@youarenextlol2042]

The second question was in my algebra book lol

[@FortBendTutoring]

Don’t you love when that happens! 😁

[@JesusHernandez-ho2si]

a tip for future videos use more rigours problems because the question in some text books are way to complex for simple examples to help out

[@FortBendTutoring]

Thanks 4 the suggestion Jesus!

[@monoman4083]

totally radical.

[@iliketheodds2575]

Do you advise memorizing cube roots as well? How about fourth roots? I am definitely enjoying your videos. They are more comprehensive than Khan's. Thank you.

[@FortBendTutoring]

Yes, we recommend memorizing the 1st ten perfect cubes and the 1st 5 perfect fourths.

[@horizonbrave1533]

Hmm But what happens when you try factoring the sqrt(48) by using two other numbers like 24 and 2 instead of 16 and 3? Will you get the same answer?

[@FortBendTutoring]

+Ghost World No, the factors need to include at least one perfect square so that you can simplify it.

[@horizonbrave1533]

But...not every number will have a perfect square in ones of it's factors right? How would you simplify, if the number has no factors that are perect squares? Can you then just pick any combination and reduce it down to as far as it will go?

[@FortBendTutoring]

+Ghost World The number won't reduce if it doesn't have any perfect squares as factors. For those numbers, it can't be reduced.

[@yaqub5322]

just to confirm you cannot add with different radicals..

[@FortBendTutoring]

+Football Videos That's correct! You can't add radicals with different indexes.

[@yaqub5322]

Fort Bend Tutoring Ok thanks :)
