Hi all! Wanna help a KZbin education OG? Please post comments, questions and anything else on your mind in the comment section! so, don’t forget to LIKE, THUMBS UP, and SUBSCRIBE! I’d appreciate it greatly as it helps me :)

[@azn2sun]

I wish my teacher was this straight forward. I like how this guy just teaches what you want to know without spewing a bunch of other irrelevant stuff that'll confuse us on what's the main focus

[@shaunaklavande8159]

I agree, our teachers should teach us the background knowledge on the material and why it works, and we should see extra help (this video) to apply it.

[@moonzipper739]

Omg that's exactly wut I was thinking

[@annegelicamilesbriguera1865]

Yeah like the saliva coming out of their mouth when they got angry cause everyone's feel really sleepy😂

[@АлександрБагмутов]

Without understanding why it works, this "knowledge" is easily forgettable and almost useless in a long run. Thats why you NEED a teacher - because you do not understand What is important to concentrate your attention on.

[@Matt-di9ko]

I just learned more from a 6 minute KZbin video then 45 minutes of class.

[@x_x3914]

same but 90 minutes for me

[@DWenck]

+Matt Same here. I have a sub for my teacher whos out giving birth and the sub can't explain this stuff that well

[@racheltejano6159]

Same but mines one hour... Sometimes with additional 30 minutes

why is mine a 2-hour class?!

i never leave messages but i wanted to let u know how much you're helping me get through pre-calculus in university. ur a champ and i truly am grateful for the work you've put into your channel

[@SwaggKiddJay]

Best math guy on youtube, from Calculus to basic Algebra. I love ya

[@patrickjmt]

thanks ;)

[@bezlichnyy7675]

I will also like to thank you very much for your help. Could you recommend me a book or resource that teaches Algebra the easy way? I like math, but often times the way it is explained is not easy to understand. I get stuck on problems.

[@Thomas-fc6gf]

Bezlichnyy did you ever find a good book?

[@Brainer]

You are teaching 942k people !!! After some time you will be a teacher of 1m person around the world !! That's amazing you can do it !!

You are a life saver! I was absent the day my teacher taught this and now he's being a jerk and won't explain it to me. Thank you! My homework is no longer difficult!:)

[@BreakMyHeartBitch]

I missed almost two weeks of school due to a serious injury. I couldn't understand Synthetic Division to save my life. One video from you... I understand it perfectly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@eggchelle]

I missed a whole week of school and this is really helpful!!

[@tinaandersen3270]

That isn't good

[@mohanaaditya4996]

You have just helped me to complete a 120mins test with a 6min video ,which a 60mins class couldn't. Thank you.

[@JoeyVOV]

Thanks for this. today in math we did this and I had no idea what was going on he went so fast.

[@patrickjmt]

the leading coefficient needs to be a 1; in this case it is 2 (the number in front of x). You could first multiply the numerator and denominator by 1/2 and then proceed.

This is really helping me, I have a final on Friday and forgot how to do half of this stuff.

[@lachicaamala]

Words cannot explain how thankful I am for this....seriously, are you a teacher? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH :)

[@nkululekolifankosi8549]

I watched the silly Toyota af just so that KZbin pays you that much more money. I hope it helps.

I hate when i learn something in school and forget it two weeks later then get an assignment on it meaning to got to teach my self how to do it all over again.

[@snipz127]

Very helpful video considering this is from 2008.

[@patrickjmt]

+snipz127 math don't change :)

[@gece8783]

Because videos from 2008 tend to be useless?

[@IStMl]

@Duncan MacLeod Yes but video quality does. In the beginning of YT, most people were very bad at doing video tutorials and explanations

[@IStMl]

@Duncan MacLeod .

[@patrickjmt]

@TheAniKinji yes. you may watch the second example on this : ' synthetic division example 2 ' it should be on the right side when you are watching this in the related video column

[@BhrisBenoit]

Without this, I would be so lost. My night school teacher didn't explain this well at all.

[@FunnyProductions24]

Thank you!!! I have a test tomorrow and this video clarified things for me. You explained this really well in under 6 minutes and much better than my teacher did. You're da man.

[@patrickjmt]

Hi all! Please post comments, questions and anything else on your mind in the comment section! While I try to answer as many questions as I can, there are more questions than I can answer by myself so if you are someone who might be able to help, please do so! The community is so much better when everyone is involved and helping each other out. Our strength is our willingness to help each other! Also please feel free to like or dislike the video. Your feedback is always appreciated so that hopefully I can make my future videos the best possible! Thanks and happy studies!

Man you really helped me with that long division and I have been struggling hard with this synthetic division too until I saw your video and realized you have to make the number you divide by negative if it was positive or positive if it was negative. That was all that was messing me up!!!! Thanks, your a life-saver.

[@SoniyaSapkota111]

[@MichaelTomko4]

I'm not one to comment on videos like this, but I really have to thank you for this video. my algebra teacher is the type of person that claimed it "isn't her problem that I don't get it" which is especially frustrating since I had to leave class for AP registration.

I've been watching your videos since I had Geometry my freshman year in high school, and your videos have helped me sooooo much! Thank you so much for all your time and dedication to math! :)

[@DYLAN392]

what if you have a value in front of that x? you know, how it says x - 2, but what if it was something like 3x - 2?

[@SRF.]

You would use Long Division of a Polynomial. He's got a video for that too, just look it up.

[@DYLAN392]

SpectralGaming thanks :D

[@pastitsio]

Or you could just multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1/3 and boom!

[@DavidSharp2201]

No problem. Why does the the (x - 2) turn into + 2 for the calculation? Because if (x - 2) = 0, then x = 2! So if 3x - 2 = 0, 3x = 2, therefore x = 2/3. So u use 2/3 in your calculation.

[@fionabichard7175]

[@med8615]

+Manish Das So +2/3 will be on the side?

[@vivekpatel4661]

+Katrina Rivera Alcantara Solve for X, with other side equaling 0 ex.3x-2=0

[@mattwood1977]

Vivek Patel that doesn't work, you need to factor out the coeficient of x before dividing, then divide the resulting expression by that coeficient (in this case that would be 3).

[@711NC]

This was a life saver. I sleep all during math class every day (hard not to do when you have weight training before math class). I have a test tomorrow, and I really needed to know how to do this.

Can we use this method every time? I remember my teacher said something abt this method only work if something ... can't remember what he said.

only if you are dividing by a linear factor does this work
