yes, it deals with math: i am a math tutor first and a math teacher second. i teach 13 credit hours worth of classes, and tutor about another 20 hours per week!
Guys remember: When ever you plug in a b c, write them in parenthesis, especially when b is negative, it may completely change it the solution. USE PARENTHESIS
Patrick you've been great all this time, helping me get through my math classes. I just shared a bunch of your videos with some of the math students I tutor as supplementary material! Keep up the awesome work buddy!
@CaliGirl6289 well, i would tell my students they could leave it like that; you can always approximate with a calculator, but in terms of algebra, there is not much more you can do. of course, ask your teacher, and see what he / she wants!
Thank you Patrick you really helped me out on solving quadratic equations, last week i got my card and i failed in math but thank you for these free lessons, these 2 Grading i passed and got 92. :D
I'm in 9th grade & i take Algebra 1 honors & i have to do a presentation to my class on the quadratic formula & this video is soooooooo helpful & clear. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 😊👌
apart from being a totally awesome teacher, one thing i really like about you is your voice has that soothing effect that does not let mathematics seem to be the boring old goofy subject it actually is! ;-)
yes, algebra stuff! i have heard there is a catchy song.. although i never heard it myself or looked for it : ) i have a funny story about the quadratic equation and a tattoo though! : ) no, not on facebook... feel free to drop me a line any time here though!
I don't want to be rude, but my math teacher isn't the greatest. I usually have to go to the Internet for math help. Thank you so much, you're a life saver!
Thank you so much! I have Algebra online at Florida Virtual School and their lessons are like reading from a cheesy kindergarten textbook (Excerpt: "Wow! You have learned so much! Give yourself a high five!" um... *clap?*), except it makes no sense when it comes to what to actually do to solve the problems. You made this so easy :D
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I understand and pretty easy; long bust easy. My math professor quickly went over the "no solution" and jumped to something else so I was lost when I tried to play catch up. Thanks again!
What your talking about is for completion of the square method. If the x^2 has a coefficient other than 1 then you have to get rid of it and you divide all the terms by it. When using the formula you don't need to do that though.
@ndoyle1407 complex numbers uses the number "i". "i" is the square root of -1. i^2 is the just -1. So instead of using the square root of -40, you would say 4+-i (square roots of) 40
Thanks for the video! The brackets make so much more sense, I always got the "-b" bit wrong because I always put it as negative, regardless! Stupid, I know... but thanks so much!
+james willis Equation 1) If you move the -y to the other side, it will become x = 6+y. Now that you know what y equals, plug it into the Equation 2. Equation 2) Since we know that x = 6+y, we can put it in this equation like this; (6+y)y = 4. Substitute (6+y) for x. After this, you'll end up with 6y + y^2 = 4. Then, you can move the 4 to the other side, to get 6y + y^2 - 4 = 0. Now, you would have to put it in order from the greatest degree to the smallest. Basically, ax^2 + bx + c = 0. So that would mean; y^2 + 6y - 4 = 0. a = 1 b = 6 c = -4 Now you can put it in the equation; x = -b + OR - SQRT b^2 - 4(a)(c) --------------------------------------- 2(a) Then just plug in the a, b, and c variables and finish the equation. That is how you solve *x-y = 6* *xy = 4*
Thankyou very much am doing Gcse grade star work and this has helped me alot now i can do other quadratic formula question Also you explained it better than my maths teacher well spoken and easy understanding! Thumbs up for him! ☺
So I know we're absolutely not using complex numbers, but my algebra 2 teacher does and I'm super confused so could there ever be a video exploring them :)?
thanks, thinking of going back to school to finish college and this makes it seem easy. cause I know I will have to take algebra, barely passed back in 2007 lol.
+A2Kaid If a bear 150 m away is charging you at a velocity of 30 m/s, and you want to launch an arrow at it at an angle of 25° but need to know the velocity at which you should launch your arrow, this formula can be very handy.
A2Kaid For example, Projectile Motion. Figuring out the maximum height of an object thrown into the air at a specific velocity and perhaps at a certain height from the ground, modeling an equation of such a scenario, and determining the time at which the object hits the ground. Some maximum and minimum problems ultimately result in maximizing or minimizing a quadratic function, which would occur at the vertex of the parabola, graphically.
Ok I have a question. For the equation at the 5:16 mark, under the square root, wouldn't the problem simplify to (16 -(-56) making it 72, not -40? And if so, would the answer still be that there's no solution because there's no real number answer? I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly so I can help a friend. Thank you :)
@HaloSoccerFanatic Actually...i^2 is equal to -1. i alone means nothing only when it is squared. Nice video @patrick jmt i watch your videos very often!
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Dude I passed my year 11 maths exam because of you by 1 mark. Specifically because of this question. THANK YOU.
Your funny.
+Jonathan Argueta thank you
yes, it deals with math: i am a math tutor first and a math teacher second.
i teach 13 credit hours worth of classes, and tutor about another 20 hours per week!
@matthenbro yes, you can still solve it; you can approximate the root using decimals if needed
@045632 i^2 = -1 ; but yes, if there is a negative under the radical, you can pull it out as ' i '
-Spend two weeks in class trying to learn this.
-6 minutes with you and i get it.
thanks.
Guys remember: When ever you plug in a b c, write them in parenthesis, especially when b is negative, it may completely change it the solution.
USE PARENTHESIS
what is a parenttheises
bad spelling sorry
these are parenthesis ( )
hahaha
Patrick you've been great all this time, helping me get through my math classes. I just shared a bunch of your videos with some of the math students I tutor as supplementary material! Keep up the awesome work buddy!
@Avatar9023 well, then, a is negative. it does not make any difference what the numbers are, the formula works the same.
That is the best left hand handwriting I've seen in a long time.
Also this video broke it down for me and helped a ton. Much appreciated.
Thank you. I have a very critical test to take in a bit and this makes me feel alot better
you don't know how many times you have clarified something in 3 minutes that my teacher couldn't in like 1 1/2 hours... dude, you're awesome!
That awesome moment when a 6 minute video explains the quadratic formula so much better than an hour 1/2 boring lesson. Thank you!
@CaliGirl6289 well, i would tell my students they could leave it like that; you can always approximate with a calculator, but in terms of algebra, there is not much more you can do. of course, ask your teacher, and see what he / she wants!
THIS UNIT IN MY CLASS WAS MY VIETNAM. I'M GETTING FLASHBACKS!
I know exactly how you feel man
same
Ahahaha
I have to tutor my nephew in this stuff this year. I know exactly how you feel.
These videos always help. I need to hear it explained from different angles to understand. Its a like the puzzle pieces are coming together.
Thank you Patrick you really helped me out on solving quadratic equations, last week i got my card and i failed in math but thank you for these free lessons, these 2 Grading i passed and got 92. :D
congrats! glad i could help
Lucky u
I'm in 9th grade & i take Algebra 1 honors & i have to do a presentation to my class on the quadratic formula & this video is soooooooo helpful & clear. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 😊👌
Tyanna Ringo how did the presaentaion go Tyanna?
@@quaimaboylan5175 it has been about 3 years, and still no reply.
it really be like that sometimes u.u
I know it's old but presentation on this?
Wha....

@Libertymoonbeam220 it means you have complex solutions (but no real solutions)
i would be shocked if i do not have a video that covers this already
@Th4toneguy just leave it sprt (11) ; or use a calculator
From someone who hasn't taken College Algebra in amost 15 years, thank you. I now have to teach this skill, and I had no clue where to begin.
I don't want to be rude, but my math teacher isn't the greatest. I usually have to go to the Internet for math help. Thank you so much, you're a life saver!
I am taking the college math CLEP test tomorrow and you are officially my Mathmatics Hero. Thanks!
@orly360 why does that matter
I just learned more in your 6 min video than in hours of classes on the subject, thank you for your help sir.
man! when i needed this video it was their!
no more looking at books might as well look this up on youtube!;)
Great videos!!:)
@ndoyle1407 yes, maybe do a search of ' complex quadratic ' or ' imaginary quadratic ' or something like this on my channel
and?
@modernlifeisrubishhh by the way, TYPING THINGS WITH ALL CAPITAL LETTERS does not magically make it correct
You are seriously amazing. I finally understand how to do it. My professor sucks at this stuff, so happy I found you!
Thank you so much! I have Algebra online at Florida Virtual School and their lessons are like reading from a cheesy kindergarten textbook (Excerpt: "Wow! You have learned so much! Give yourself a high five!" um... *clap?*), except it makes no sense when it comes to what to actually do to solve the problems. You made this so easy :D
You explain it way better than my teacher. Thanks for this it really helped(:
Thank you for posting this..I homeschool and this video helped me realize what step I was skipping to reach the final correct answer! @2:37
Awesome.awesome. I never saw very easy explanation like what you do. Good job
THAnks so much Patrick! you just got me through my ore-cal hw and I'm pretty sure i'll do really well on my test tomorrow now!
you could be somewhere where you could not go to school and instead spend 18 hours in a sweatshop making nike shoes.
Thank You
You really know how to take a difficult subject
and explain it so people understand.
I really understood this soooooooooo much! Bravo Mr. patrickJMT7!
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I understand and pretty easy; long bust easy. My math professor quickly went over the "no solution" and jumped to something else so I was lost when I tried to play catch up. Thanks again!
@heatherstclair0 : )
I'll be taking my FINAL EXAMS tomorrow, this is helping me a lot. If I pass, YOU'RE AWESOME :DD
My teacher lied to me she said that A is always gonna be 1 and if there is a different number then I have to subtract it by each term -.-
I doubt your teacher lied; maybe it was a specific example she was going over. Just ask her some questions; we like that
What your talking about is for completion of the square method. If the x^2 has a coefficient other than 1 then you have to get rid of it and you divide all the terms by it. When using the formula you don't need to do that though.
Well that is very confusing and unfair.
terrible, report her
Kenni D no!!!!!. Its not always a one it can be any number your teacher in math doesn't know
@ndoyle1407 complex numbers uses the number "i". "i" is the square root of -1. i^2 is the just -1. So instead of using the square root of -40, you would say 4+-i (square roots of) 40
i bloody love you! you have saved my life dude!
Thank you so much!! I love your site. :)) You're my new Math Teacher
Do you have videos on completing the square ?
Yes, quite a few
thanxz man you helped me with what i was stuck on and you explain this better than my math teacher
glad you like it! : )
Thanks for the video! The brackets make so much more sense, I always got the "-b" bit wrong because I always put it as negative, regardless! Stupid, I know... but thanks so much!
Thank you sir.. I owe you BIGTIME..
Thank you!
my pleasure!
HI can you please help me with this simutaneouse equation
x-y=6
xy=4
+james willis
Equation 1) If you move the -y to the other side, it will become x = 6+y. Now that you know what y equals, plug it into the Equation 2.
Equation 2) Since we know that x = 6+y, we can put it in this equation like this;
(6+y)y = 4. Substitute (6+y) for x.
After this, you'll end up with 6y + y^2 = 4.
Then, you can move the 4 to the other side, to get 6y + y^2 - 4 = 0.
Now, you would have to put it in order from the greatest degree to the smallest. Basically, ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
So that would mean; y^2 + 6y - 4 = 0.
a = 1
b = 6
c = -4
Now you can put it in the equation;
x = -b + OR - SQRT b^2 - 4(a)(c)
---------------------------------------
2(a)
Then just plug in the a, b, and c variables and finish the equation.
That is how you solve
*x-y = 6*
*xy = 4*
Thank you for the help and time i am currently doing A LEVELS AS MATHS & MECHANICS
Can you teach me how to solve when a number doesnt have a square root!
you really made this simple to understand, nice job nd thanks.
Wow, I spend so much time looking online to do these problems, and you helped me a lot, thanks.
Got a test in like 5 hours trying to cram these videos in. I will keep you updated on what I get.
Yo! Thx for helping me solve this quadratic equation:D Now I'm confident that I will do well in my Math Placement Test!
Thank you very much for your videos, very clear and helpful.
glad i could help!
@BayBeeJwlz :) help the person one comment below :)
This is fantastic to show my 7 year old grandchild and I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much!!! This cleared up a lot that was vague in my notes
OMG like seriously in in love with you.
Thank you so much you helped me tremendously!
Thankyou very much am doing Gcse grade star work and this has helped me alot now i can do other quadratic formula question

I love you! you're such a great teacher :D
hey love the vids they are very helpful and i think you should post a video about how to solve quadratic equations but with imaginary numbers.
Thank you for your videos! You're way better than my algebra teacher! I learn more from you!
Thanks. Brief and exactly what I needed!
yo patrick do you have a vid about cubic equations?
Thank you. Finally someone who can actual teach math!
This video was very helpful to me and my study group.Thanks for posting!
Hi, thumbs up for the great explanation, thanks. Greetings from Cali, Colombia.
Thanks! Really helped me out with my homework :)
omg thank you,u explain it way better since i can pause and rewind u
thank u so much i am starting to understand quadratic formula and equation much better now
you have the nicest left hander writing i have ever seen 0_0
somehow this looks easier that the factoring method lol
Jemuel Mongado ikr
factoring is easy, this looks impossible -_-
HI can you please help me with this simutaneouse equation
x-y=6
xy=4
Completing the square
james willis it looks to be bloody impossible to me
This is really helpful! and by the way, your voice sounds like Danny Pudi.:)
this video refreshed my memory thanks man!!!
nice left handed that gives me luck and thank you for the great teaching your so much better than my teacher at school
thanks for the videos on these
thanks, thinking of going back to school to finish college and this makes it seem easy. cause I know I will have to take algebra, barely passed back in 2007 lol.
This video was very helpful. Thank you.
10 years ago and you are still posting unbelievable
thank you so much I had my teacher and my friend explain this to me and I didn't understand but now I do. Thank you so much.
Excellent demo...made it so easy! THX!
You are a life saver!
Thanks :D You helped me pass my class.
u sir, are now on my epic people list! next to Chuck Norris and Billy Mays :D thanks!
DUDE! Thank you! I've got my math final in 2 days, wednsday May 20. Get this, 6th grade! Fricin Quadratics in 6th grade!!!
Thank you so much. Gotta ace the quiz tomorrow!
Thank you so much. This helped me .
Me: wants to become a esports player
School: first you must learn how to do quadratic functions
This helped so much
IF THERE WAS 1 VIDEO ON RUclips THAT I COULD TRUELY SAY "THIS SAVED MY LIFE" TO....THIS WOULD BE THAT VIDEO
-chea ya boi
Is there a practical purpose for the use of quadratic formula? Like what kind of application could I use it for?
I believe engineering uses it a lot
+A2Kaid If you're in an honors course, 8th grade math and then through high school in college but this doesn't apply to life outside of school
+A2Kaid If a bear 150 m away is charging you at a velocity of 30 m/s, and you want to launch an arrow at it at an angle of 25° but need to know the velocity at which you should launch your arrow, this formula can be very handy.
Lyle Yeah but that isn't very practical.
A2Kaid For example, Projectile Motion. Figuring out the maximum height of an object thrown into the air at a specific velocity and perhaps at a certain height from the ground, modeling an equation of such a scenario, and determining the time at which the object hits the ground.

And if so, would the answer still be that there's no solution because there's no real number answer? I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly so I can help a friend. Thank you :)
I can see where you're coming from but it is (-4)^2, which is 16.
16 minus (4*2*7) = 16-56
=-40
Hope this helps :)
@HaloSoccerFanatic Actually...i^2 is equal to -1. i alone means nothing only when it is squared. Nice video @patrick jmt i watch your videos very often!
