Wow! Why was I not taught this ar school? A+ & 100% 😀

It is not very difficult to know the abc-formula and the Discriminant. And it is not very difficult to apply them. But what is much more interesting and difficult is the proof that you can find the value of X by applying the abc-formula / the Discriminant.

May I make a suggestion, . . . Stop with the phrase "I have a ton of videos". Instead it would be more useful to state where you can find the help. An example might be Alg I video 22, etc. You could post them in the description. You can anticipate which videos will be needed from your experience of knowing which topics students are most prone to have issues mastering. Thank you for your work.

discriminant. tells us if there are 2, 1, or no solutions. positive, 2 different real roots. negative, 2 different complex roots zero, 2 equal real roots

This is like watching paint dry! Who would have the mental stamina to contend with the monotony of this voice and disorganized method in a classroom?

@@TheMOlague Well, then the caveat emptor given all those 19-year-old innocents before launching into the Borges proving to be so true. "There will be no magic here, children, and only a wearying attempt at realism. All that mind-numbing Latin is just here to explain why people like Borges deserved a box at the Teatro Colon. Want a revelation about going native, kids? Read Conrad."
