Completing the Square and Vertex Form of Quadratic Equations

[@cassieosiecki9372]

You actually just saved me from failing my math test tomorrow. You taught me this 10 times better than my math teacher ever has.Thank you soooo much!! Definitely going to be using your videos to get a better understanding all the time now.

[@matthewmontiel7011]

Because of you my grade went from 64 to a 96. thank you very much.

[@patrickjmt]

awesome, congrats and keep studying hard :)

[@MaeradOfPellinor]

I have been using your videos since 8th grade--I am now a Freshman in college, and am still using them. Thank you so much--you have saved me from many a failure...I can honestly say you're one of my heroes...I sure hope you become a math professor, because there are some really crappy math profs out there.

[@brianshang1069]

Hope ur math professor doesn't see this...... What if i am your math professor?????????????????

ha, thanks for recommending my videos ;) - i have found that completing the square tends to confused a lot of people!

[@hollywoodchick12]

Thank you so much. Oh my goodness. For literally two days I have been trying to figure out what I have been doing wrong on these types of problems. The help function on my homework software does not explain how to find the number you add or subtract to outside of the parentheses to get to the original equation when you have a coefficient greater than one. I was solving them as if the the coefficient was one. I had no idea. Life saver.

[@MooMooMath]

Clear,correct directions. Thanks This will help my students.

[@Vixvoxi]

BLESS YOUR HEART. LITERALLY JUST SAVED MY MIDTERM EXAM GRADE AND GPA.

[@annie-eq2ye]

how’d it go ?

[@Vixvoxi]

@@annie-eq2ye oh man, this was 5 years ago when I was a freshman in Uni, but I think it ended up going really well. Our math professors were garbage for what the cost was for a top public university, this man and his channel just simplified everything for me

[@annie-eq2ye]

@@Vixvoxi DIDNT THINK YOUD REPLY HAHA 😭😭 so does ur career involve math anymore or no Bc I hate it

[@gregl2249]

[@wonderfulmousey]

Bless you, sir. Bless you. You've saved my life.

[@marleine]

dude god bless you, this video actually almost made me cry, I've been doing so badly this semester and this helped a lot

[@DaZMan911]

Algebra midterm in 3 hours and my teacher is terrible, you are amazing, thank you for all the work you put into teaching on KZbin, you've saved many of us in college, peace n love from Daytona Beach, Florida!!

[@shadsword0]

you sir are a life saver. my teacher spent at least 3 days trying to teach some crazy ass backwards way of doing this and no one in the class got it. you've done in 15 minutes what took him at least 3 hours and failed. You have my most sincere thanks

[@ctheconnectshun2246]

I wish I knew of you when this school year started. THANK YOU 💯💯💯!

[@RylanDiaz]

You're better than my teacher! ;)

[@Growthfuljoy]

Amen to your mind! Your video is the only one that made sense out of the 5 I watched

[@hurrdurr25]

I wish all math teachers were as clear as you. Your videos are the best math lessons on youtube.

[@jasonshah1]

i disagree, the way you are teaching is amazing because you break it down to where every1 can understand. You are literally the reason why i am passing my class. thank you and keep it goin! cheers!

[@neenanguyen8342]

This helped so much. My future has been saved thanks to you. My math teacher is useless, but you helped me in 7 minutes when he couldnt for a year.

[@Ian-Threaded]

14:50 was the most helpful thing ever for doing this. thank you very much

[@lakeshiadaniel3779]

Fantastic! My Class Has Not Covered Completing Squares Yet But When My Teacher Lays It On Us I'll Be Ready. Thankful For People Like You!

Thank you sir, my teacher gave us a worksheet and on only taught us how to "graph a vertex form" but not how to make quadratic equation into vertex form. I wish I had a better teacher like you.

[@patrickjmt]

@anseeunXX you are very welcome!

[@tiapaul6981]

One of the most helpful video series I've seen on working with quadratics. Thank you! I'm a teacher trying to tutor an Alg II student and needed some extra supportive instruction. I can do these now which means I can help my student to do them too!

[@patrickjmt]

+Tia Paul come back any time :)

[@rebeccasciberras4948]

Thanks so much! I was becoming really annoyed thinking that I simply couldn't understand this concept but it turns out that my lecturer left out SO many important points to this process. You're a lifesaver!

[@Mag1cK1lla21]

Helped me better understand the concept thank you

[@patrickjmt]

perfect, glad i could help

[@BreeZeTSHQ]

+patrickJMT better than any math teacher i've ever had. greatly appreciated.

[@unicornnigguh]

Very clear, thank you!! I have a math semi exam today and this helped me understand what my notes couldn't teach me!! Life saver!

[@coreymonsta7505]

This was exactly what I was looking for and was explained so well! This saved me so much time. Subbed! :D

[@boriqua146]

*Thank You* !!!! I've been out of school for a while and I'm taking a pre-cal class and needed a refresher. Man, I searched the web and couldn't found anything that was clearly broken down and explained WHY a certain move was being done. Thank you for making this easy to understand!

[@patrickjmt]

glad i could help you out :)

[@classclown71]

If only my mathematics teacher could've been so slow and simple. Thanks. Beats studying without a clue as to what to do.

[@josephwalker2237]

after this video i understand this concept more than 2 weeks on the subject with my high school teacher. thanks soo much!

[@brookcie1]

When the number is (x-3) it's positive in vertex form, when it's positive (x+3) it's negative in vertex form. This is because the equation is: y=a(x-h)+k e.g. if the vertex is (-4,6) the equation is: y=a(x-(-4))+6 hence the double negative which becomes positive like this y=a(x+4)+6

[@patrickjmt]

@ColdDiva glad i could help : ) spread the word!!

[@patrickjmt]

@headingtothetop i never say it does not work, i just say fractions can make it much more tedious

[@jparker5687]

Absolutely adore that little electric squid screaming noise in the background

[@richiebailey6056]

my teacher tried to teach this to me and she ended up confusing the hell out of me. This video put me right back on track! your awesome thanks so much!!

[@aalisachan]

Thank you so much for this video. You explained how to complete the square better than anyone else on the entire internet!

[@dorriebevins9063]

You do an outstanding job of explaining difficult math concepts. Your voice is perfect for narration, as well. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@cutiebeautiful2464]

you are a lifesaver patrick

[@patrickjmt]

just doin' the best i can ;)

[@MRDaved]

Thank you a lot, you've saved me m8!

[@bandbound]

Thank you so much man, my math teacher tries his hardest but needless to say he isint quite the best at explaining such things, this will surly help me on my test I have today, once again thank you,

[@jazzygirl987]

Thank you soooo much. I missed this day in school and my teacher didn't bother to review it again at all the following day. My grade in the class is determined how I do on this quiz I have tomorrow and now I understand and am confident I'm going to get a good grade. I wish you could teach my math class.

[@tooyella6602]

omg at the 15 min mark i believe this helped me sooo much the 2x²+12-4 problem my problem is 3x²-6x+8 it is very similar to this the book does it a lil different from how you do it but how you solved it is PERFECTION! thank you thank you thank you! my test is next week monday

[@lisale9875]

I think the explanation is the beginning was vital, I didnt understand it so Im glad you explained everything in the beginning. Wish me luck on my finals

[@MurrayMelander]

Doesn't the narrowness (if that's even a word), depend on "a" in the function? So that negative 3 in your example is why the Y intercept is so far down on the Y axis?

[@ericjohnson6122]

Thanks, Patrick. :D I suggested people watch this after I confused a whole class full of non-math majors with a fairly gnarly 'general form for completing the square.'

[@jackster330]

Ah thank you so much, we learned this wayyy back earlier this year and exams are coming up, I forgot how to do them! I remembered after I saw your examples, you saved my grades!

[@Xx2manynamestakenxX]

You're a life saver!! Why can't my math professor be like you?

Very helpful, taught me more in 15min than my teacher did in 7hrs thanks!

[@TamImBlessed]

It's very hard to understand in the classroom, but with your help I got it clearly.

[@crystalchaung1576]

I like how you make mistakes and explain why you could do better. I draw graphs and improve them too. It's like you're learning with us.

[@supersimpsonsfan100]

You are my new professor. You are so much better than my actual one and I'm paying him!

[@tehepicness12sauce]

Thanks man, have a exam on algebra 2 tomorrow, I could not understand my book, but you did. Thanks again!

[@cgrelon]

very kind and generous of you to share your knowledge with people who need help! thank you!

[@AkaironoUnko]

If only I had found this before finding other completing the squares videos. Gosh, that moment when you realise, that the solution is easier than you thought.

[@ERIKfernandoRangel]

This has helped me so much!!! I can't tell you how much your videos are going to help me this semester in Algebra II.

[@SweetBabii246]

thank you, this really helped.

[@johnnolen8338]

I find it easier to determine the axis of symmetry, plug that into the original equation, which gives k as the result and then write the vertex form by inspection.

[@norbertotorbeso2562]

Hi, Patrick! My daughter said that this video is awesome. It helped her a lot.

[@Carmen3611J]

What if "c" is negative? To get it to the right side will I have to change the sign to a positive?

[@Olivia4love]

Thank you so much! I was struggling on this and now I'm really good at it!

[@annie-eq2ye]

no problem

[@hahakun96]

i have a mock exam next week and you, my sir, probably saved my grade :)

Thank you for explaining completing the square. My teacher just assumed everyone knew this and it completely threw me off. It also wasn't in the textbook.

[@khristinepintor4820]

Youre such a great tteacher! Thanks so much! imma be checkin out this channel a lot more now for help. ii have a test coming up on wednesday and im sorta afraid to ask my confusing teaching for help , since she wants us to " struggle first" and .. who likes being alone with a teacher?

[@DilemmaMo]

how do you know when to use the signs inside the brackets, example either; (x+2)^2 or (x-2)^2. The question you solved was y = x^2 + 4x . Thank again for your videos and help. :P

Dude you saved me. I was getting lost in all this but I understand now! Thanks!

[@silentcod3r]

Your videos have been so helpful to many people. Thank you.

[@shadsword0]

you would skip isolating the x's from the k (since there is none) and proceed as usual. you balancing in line 4 would become the new k. or if the balancing eliminated the k altogether, it would just be zero for the y value of the vertex.

[@shadex6526]

Thank you, My Teacher Just Confused Me, But you helped me get the concept!

Oh my god this helped me so much in school since i did not understand how my teacher taught it. thank you. ; u ;

Mcphellin, thanks for not letting me watch the whole entire video for what i needed. haha. PatrickJMT, thank you! I'm just refreshing for my finals - this wasn't the way I learned how to do it exactly, but by watching you do it i completely remember how I'm supposed to do it now! :D

[@MrWarmWeather]

the encouragement you offer at the end of the video to just keep practicing is helpful too, in addition to all the other stuff of course. I try to pretend this math stuff is like running or something, and if I keep working at it, i'll get somewhere. oh I hope:/

[@motherof3pearls]

When completing the square, why do some KZbin Math teachers add the middle terms on the left hand side and to the right hand sides, while others minus the term they have just squared on the left hand side. You get two different answers, right. I just so confounded by which method to use. Please, help! Thank you 😃🤓

[@jovifranceslofranco8944]

can you make this an example "y is equal to x squared minus seven"

y=1/3x²+2x-8 what is the vertex form for it pls. i just want to know!
