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

[@marybluerozes7060]

why is mine a 2-hour class?!

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?

[@Rallusernamesunavail]

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

[@Bennyboi69]

when your teacher cant teach so Patrick JMT does it for her

[@patrickjmt]

glad i could help you :)

[@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 !!

[@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.

I've been home sick from school going on 2 weeks now, and your videos have definitely saved my grade! Thanks so much!

[@YleneP]

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.

[@eggchelle]

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

[@tinaandersen3270]

That isn't good

[@white1actual301]

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!:)

[@JoeyVOV]

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

[@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!

[@intellegence63smart]

"And there's a negative four... just hanging out."

[@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

[@lachicaamala]

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

[@mhdunknown]

"Typically I don't use a calculator, really hardly ever, that's just a personal preference of mine." I wish that I was like you :(

[@sierrarivera9358]

Thank you my good man, I have a test tomorrow that i didn't study for and this is a life saver so god bless your soul and have a wonderful day :)

[@LiMussico]

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

[@Haddock2]

Tbh my teacher has spent 3 days trying to teach us this and I understand it in 10 minutes. Just shows that any subject can be learnable and easy if you have a good teacher. Thanks so much And become a math teacher!

[@nkululekolifankosi8549]

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

[@gennyjovellanos2531]

seems like I shouldn't be afraid of studying math since Patrick is always here to save me..THANKS A LOT!

[@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!

[@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

Thank you soooo much. You totally just saved my life. It's great being able to watch your videos if I need help with my school work. Thanks for actually taking the time to make this :)

[@seanbaby7796]

This video was posted when I was 2 yrs old. Now its helping me a lot at 15 :D Thank you!

[@BhrisBenoit]

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

[@TheNigerianprincess8]

was struggling in trying to understand this for the past two days in class and finally, finally in less than five minutes was able to grasp this. Thank you so much, I have officially subscribed to your account!

[@FreeGurl13]

Amazing how the Internet can teach me better than my math teacher. Thank you man, you're my math savior!!

[@honeydip8541]

Dang this is old 💀I’m literally learning this a few hours before my test

[@patrickjmt]

yea, this video is old :)

[@slamduncan9]

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.

[@Khairnar.rajwardhan]

Anyone watching it in 2021... Fact: i'm watching it after 12 years lol

[@MusicCRW]

This guys handwriting is so much better than my teacher's. makes precalc so much easier to study for the midterm, thanks dude!

[@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]

David Sharp that makes sence! thanks:)

[@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.

[@manderz3695]

I learned about synthetic division before my teacher taught us. This is tomorrows lesson. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackytrunz]

its amazing how my math teacher couldn't converse that to me as simplistically as u were capable of doing

[@lalamyd7830]

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.

[@patrickjmt]

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

[@mynameisnotcory]

I can always come back and watch your videos, no matter how frustrated I am with studying ! Hopefully I do well on my test tomorrow!

[@dothwile_3703]

YAY!!! Fellow Lefty! Thanks for the lesson this saved me on my alg. test!

[@mireilleroman3453]

Tbh his tutorials have been saving my math grade since 2012.

[@katrivera2414]

what if it's 3x-2?

[@manishdas29]

+Katrina Rivera Alcantara its 3{x-(2/3)}

[@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).

[@patrickjmt]

@sarazuu synthetic division only works if you are dividing by a linear factor

[@thehavoccultist]

POV: Its 2020 and youre doing onlne school

[@patrickjmt]

i am getting paid by you all watching these :) i am a partner, so although some of you may hate sitting through a periodic advertisement, those are why it is free for you and why i can devote my days to reading math books and making new videos :) so: just keep watching!

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.
