After not being in school for 22 yrs, I have forgotten almost everything I learned. I decided to follow my dream and return to school. With your help my dream is coming true!!!! Thank you soooo much!!! You are a life saver

[@FortBendTutoring]

Our pleasure Chrisy! Good luck on your academic journey!

[@lorilyntenney7691]

For the record, the state of your braces is completely overshadowed by how amazing you are at teaching the MATH. I cannot believe how easy you just made this whole thing. My textbook teaches like my dad tried to teach me when I was in school many, many years ago. He just looked at the equation and knew the answer. Show the work? What work? I am one of the unlucky people not born with a brain that unravels all these letters and numbers without a little hand-holding. So, thanks for holding my hand here. :)

[@FortBendTutoring]

Glad to be your hand-holder! LOL Thanks for your testimony and we hope our other videos are helpful to you as well!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH, studying for mid term rn

[@d.g.1637]

You know I gotta say since watching these video's I've been much more confident with math, which is a very big thing for me Considering I've always considered myself math illiterate ever since the 4th grade when they introduced us to that chicago math. Needless to say the teacher didn't quite explain it well enough and my 'rents couldn't help me and so confidence in more complexe numbers other than basic multiplication division and addition and subtraction. plummeted. But now I'm going back to school for my diploma and dealing with these numbers and I'm getting confidence back in my ability to solve the problems

[@d.g.1637]

Why use Braces Mr. Whit wouldn't I dunno Brackets work just as well or is that one of those things to do nwith certain math problems?

[@FortBendTutoring]

Devlin Graham That's great Devlin! Happy 2 hear your confidence is building! Keep up the good work!

[@FortBendTutoring]

Devlin Graham Yeah, it's definitely one of those math things that must be used sometimes. When grouping numbers and operators, brackets and braces mean the same. However, when writing solutions to problems and other notations in math, braces take on a specific meaning. It's a matter of syntax. Thanks 4 your support!

[@blaqsense8073]

I just had a test on this along with Perfect Square Trinomials and etc... and I answered everyone right, except this....agggggghhhh I wish I would've looked at your video last night, this is too simple...I feel ashamed lol...Great Learning Tool!!!

I usually use this form Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 for any standard form of the quadratic equation that can be factored. I only use lowercase letters of a, b, and c when using the Quadratic Formula.

Also, I make sure that the coefficient in front of the quadratic term is positive (A > 0).

Mr. Witt, what do you do if the equation is unfactorable. How does one solve for the zero after that?

[@FortBendTutoring]

Use a different method like completing the square or the quadratic formula. You can find both videos in this playlist: Solving Quadratic Equations by Fort Bend Tutoring [fbt] kzbin.info/aero/PL3Ip1JQi4mmKL1tS-LEoBPvg3ixDzAgUw

Hey Mr. Whitt, the problem #4 when +2 to both terms in order to get 0. then -11+2 should equal -9 but you put -11 still, is that right? Or any reason? I am curious.

[@FortBendTutoring]

Yes, I wrote the result correctly. I'm not combining -11 and 2, I'm combining -11x and 2. Since they are unlike terms, I write them next to each other as -11x + 2.

[@ShenaveryCherry]

[@digenezimmerman1813]

😂 i love your love-hate relationship with the “braces”

[@THEQuantumPolkaDots]

Something that threw me off, and i am not sure if it even matters, was that you said you can always tell how many solutions there will be by the highest exponent. but i learned it as you would know how many solutions by the amount of terms. But anyways, I love this video. I love how you had so many examples for different scenarios. I will definitely sub it and watch others. I love your way of doing it. It is more clear to me. Thanks so much for this!!! Btw, what app is that???

[@FortBendTutoring]

The app is called Penultimate. The video is correct, the variable's highest exponent is the number of solutions. For instance, 4x - 3x + 7 = 13 has one answer because the highest exponent on x is 1 even though there are 4 terms. Thanks for your comment!

[@THEQuantumPolkaDots]

Fort Bend Tutoring Thanks!!!

[@fijianofashion2088]

Mr. Bend, it is evident you know your math, but please slow down a little, and explain the your problem a little more please!!! other than that your a good teacher.

[@johnburens3395]

In problem #4 you added 2 to both sides -11x = -2.... Shouldn't the negative eleven have become a -9x? What am I missing? The process makes sense though so I like the way you're showing it because it simplifies to the next step. Thanks again Mr. Whitt!

[@FortBendTutoring]

+john burens No, -11x and 2 are unlike terms and can not be combined.

[@johnburens3395]

I misunderstood what you were doing until later. By bringing over the term to isolate zero on the other side of the equal sign. After re-working the problem it is clear now. Thanks

[@jovannarobles949]

ok, im stuck with this (x-1)(x+6)=10x do I have to get my arrows popping ?

[@FortBendTutoring]

Lol yes! Get those ARROWS POPPIN' then combine like terms and set the equation equal 2 zero. Once that's done, you can attack the problem like the examples in this video. :-)

[@flaneurable]

Thanks Bro. A bit racy but some good tips and you cover the ground.

[@nyahbelton8969]

Hi Mr. Whitt, I Was Wondering Why My 1st Coefficient Doesn't Divide Equally With My Factors. Am I Doing Something Wrong Or Is That Normal?

[@FortBendTutoring]

Lol!

[@RB-nm3ko]

How come for problem 3 you say not to divide by x (which worked for me), yet on problem 6 you do divide by x? Also on problem 6, does it matter which side of the equation you make zero? Another words could you have used - 2x^3 + 9x^2 - 4x?

[@FortBendTutoring]

When the equation is set to zero, dividing by x will eliminate a solution in some but not all situations. I could have explained that part better.

[@ChampDarius-]

On problem #3 5 was the GCF because 35 was divisible by 5 but what if it wasn't like what if it was 2 and 15 there isn't a GCF besides 1?

[@FortBendTutoring]

If the problem was written as you stated, then the GCF would be "x". You wouldn't divide everything by "x", but you would factor it out to get x(2x - 15) = 0 and complete the process.

[@mathew.joseph.serajose.4501]

Mr. Whitt, isn't the highest degree in a quadratic equation supposedly two, to acknowledging it as a quadratic equation? Just confirming sir.

[@FortBendTutoring]

That's correct. So, if you have two linear factors (1st degree factors) multiplying, the product will be a quadratic equation.

[@FortBendTutoring]

Plug your answers into the original equation. Does it make a true statement?

[@venitocamelo6704]

@@FortBendTutoring i just tried to do it but i think i did it wrong since neither mine or yours were right , my answers or roots were m=7/9 and m= - 2/7 , i tired to multiply m=(7/9)^2 * 63 and -31(-2/7) - 10 = 0 but i did not work out then i tried your answers on the same way but they did not end up equal to zero either .

[@FortBendTutoring]

You don’t plug them both in at the same time. Only use one for every variable to see if it equals zero. Then, try the other separately in the same original equation.

[@FortBendTutoring]

Another way to tell your answer isn’t correct is to multiply the first and last coefficient together. Does it equal the product of -49 and 18? I used -45 and 14 and that product does equal to the product of 63 and -10.
