    40:23 Thanks for doing the hard problems. I have this exact issue; Instructor will go over the easy problems in the lecture and provide us videos to review and then we get to the homework that the instructor created themselves and ill run into problems that aren't even explained in the lecture or videos. Thank you

    I just wanted you to know that when you said, "you're gonna write your factors", I didn't say, "you can't make me". I said, "I already did that." And I was super proud of myself when you called it out.

    Hey Prof, I wanted to thank you. I’m an old military guy being sent through college for vocational rehab (disabled vet being retrained by the VA). My precalculus professor is a little less than articulate. Mostly saying things like, “I really disagree with how the book does this, I’m going to show you how I expect you to do it.” Then proceeds to do it over the projector, skipping parts he does in his head explaining that we know that part and leaves an entire classroom scratching our heads. My biggest problem is that half the time I don’t even understand what the point of an exercise is or what the desired output we are aiming for. Your channel has been immensely helpful in explaining what I’m reading in the book which is all that matters at this time to me. This is all about building a base for the next level, not pleasing the current professor.
    As far as minding your Ps and Qs, I can clarify that one. It is a nautical term. In the days of sail when sailors pulled into port the bars would sell the booze in pints (Ps) and quarts (Qs). The barkeep would maintain a list of the sailors through the week, or what period of time they worked before receiving pay (each establishment had their own rules) and when a sailor received his pay he was expected to go to the bar and settle up for the tab based on the number of Ps and Qs recorded on his account. Some less than honest bar owners would add some Ps and Qs to a sailor’s tab. A seasoned sailor would advise a young sailor to mind his Ps and Qs to make sure the barkeep wasn’t trying to slip extra charges on his bill, or stick someone else’s drinks who didn’t pay in order to not lose money (as still happens today).

    • @rosepierce9382
      @rosepierce9382 Год назад

      That's interesting. I read somewhere else that P's and Q's stood for the sailors' peacoats and queues. Something to do with looking sharp. Anyways, hope you're doing well now and that your Precalculus professor is not giving you too much trouble!

    • @josh8494
      @josh8494 Год назад

      @@rosepierce9382, thank you for the pleasant thoughts first thing when I wake up this morning. I’ve never heard the “pea oats and queues” version before. I will definitely read on that. When I was in the Navy, we were taught in our maritime history classes about the “pints and quarts” version, but that’s not insisting the U.S. military has not been incorrect before. Also since the saying was passed down, I believe, from the British Navy, it’s certainly worth looking into what their take on it is.
      No worries on the pre-calculus. I managed to wrap that up and made it through calculus 1 unscathed. It’s smoother sailing at this point.
      I do hope you have a wonderful day. I’m off to school now.

    thanks for taking the time to explain and for showing hard exercises. it is true that most professors just work with the simples and easier exercises in class cuz they want to end the class on time and to cover as much chapters as possible instead of taking more time in explaining it [i know they have an agenda to follow, but man it sucks that the school calendar don't actually allow for more room to explain some topics in class. i know professors offer office hours, but sometimes those office hours conflicted with other classes].

    Professor, we've gone over rational functions in the past in the Intermediate Algebra course. Is precalculus a continuation of that particular subject, or can one skip it and move on to exponentials and logs? Also, about the latter two, is precalculus expanding on the knowledge, or is it more of a revision?
    Much love from Sweden. You're the best teacher I've ever had.

    I heard you say that grouping only works up to 4 terms, but in the last problem I used grouping to solve the polynomial. I rewrote it as x^4(2x-1) + 24x^2(2x-1) - 25(2x-1) -> (2x-1)(x^4 + 24x^2 - 25) and got precisely the right x-intercepts. I even undid my factoring to see if I would get the original polynomial and sure enough I did. Could you explain why you've said that you can group only up to 4 terms, or if I misunderstood your words (most likely the case), thanks.
