Y'know, Something I always needed from math teachers was to explain WHY. The what only gets you so far, The how lets you know what got you where, But the WHY Is literally so important and I feel some teachers really over-look it. But here, I understand things very well because its explained fully in a good way
This is by far the best explanation I have seen. I appreciate how you went through 3 different scenarios simultaneously, and showed us how to get around them.
I love how you slow down and really explain what these terms mean like completing the square. It really helps to understanding how to convert standard form to vertex form
I wish that teachers were all like you man. Imagine the amount of content and time students would have to apply their knowledge of a concept, all while not being overwhelmed by homework as we often are. You a brilliant teacher man, thanks for all you do for the math community.
One of the reasons that Brian is such an excellent teacher, is that he doesn't do all the steps to one problem. He repeats the steps on multiple problems as he goes (for repetition) students learn much better this way in my experience! Kudos Brian!
Your videos have saved me... teacher never actually teaches, just hands homework out. This makes so much sense and I probably learn more about a topic in five minute videos the a weeks worth of lessons.
I am so late here but I have had such a difficult time trying to understand this in class no matter how much my teacher tried to explain it. I needed something clear with steps and this really helped me out, thank you very much!
omg i feel you, I currently taking Algebra 2 over the summer to get credit ahead of time and the college that is teaching me is not really that helpful and has weird techniques. Why cant everyone be as simple as this dude smh.
Thank you so much! This helped me out on my homework a ton and it cleared up any questions I had for an upcoming test I have! I really liked how you did all 3 equations rather than just one like all of the other videos.
Thank you very much for you videos. I have been using your videos since 2015 I think, to help my daugther from her grade 10 to grade 12 and even while she was in fisrt year university. Now I am using your videos to help my younger daughter Mbulleh Kebbeh who was in Grade 10 last year and now in Grade 11. Your videos are very useful. I am Mbulleh Kebbeh's Father.
@@brianmclogan i saw a video with a similar method but i dont like that way because you are supposed to use a calculator to find the vertex and you dont gain any understanding of how you got the answer, or how to do it yourself. but maybe you guys did it differently cause the video i saw used a calculator. id much prefer this method though.
you are literally a better math teacher than all my math teachers I've ever had. They don't explain anything. I can watch your videos and understand the whole topic in a fraction of a time compared to in school. YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER!!
I am now attending a school in italy, and im still learning italian. I was having a hard time with math teacher since shes so fast and weird. but i looked into this video, i learned this in 8min which my math teacher couldnt teach me in 3 months. Godn bless sir
my algebra teacher is so bad and spend 3 days explain how to do this and it is so confusing . You just made me learn it in 8 minutes. You are the best and I am telling all my friends about you.
thank you so much for this video, you won't believe how many people's grades you have saved with this video. Your 6 year old video is still helping high schoolers to this day. Respect.
The dislikes are from teachers whose students go to this guy instead of asking them for help. But seriously I spent actual DAYS trying to understand this through the notes my teacher had us write, and still got a 65 on the quiz. He explained it in 8 minutes and I got a 100 on the retake. I'm dropping out this man is all I need to survive.
OMG!!! This was sooooo easy to understand! Thank you for giving me an 8 minute class instead of an hour class where I can't understand anything. God bless you, sir!
people complain about their teachers a lot but mine... omg. He gave me an F on an assignment because I didn't show work on one problem even though I got them all right. He's also rude to students who he finds annoying, he stands in front of the board so we can't see, and he doesn't explain things. He just does math problems and expects us to understand what he's doing. I've learned more from these videos than from the guy whose job it is to teach me. Thank you.
I'm taking adult day school grade 11 functions but don't always get what the teacher taught in class. I watch many of your videos and find myself wishing you were my teacher. You explain things clearly. Thank you
For anyone that got confused when he was subtracting numbers around 5:55. He is just subtracting the equivalent amount he just added to the inside of the parenthesis. ex. -3(x^2-2x)-1 >> -3(x^2-2x+1) -1 (+3) or -3(x^2-2x+1) -1 -1(-3)
I don't comment often, but I had to say this. I've had trouble with this all day. Found this video and hoped for the best. I am now subscribed. I'm recommending this channel to a friend. Thank you very much. Live Long and Prosper
Apparently you and my teacher are beefing because anytime he teaches i understand but sometimes i don’t understand a thing. My teacher kind of likes me and dislikes me mostly bc im the “disturbance” of the class and also im one of the smartest and he put in the back seat, i can’t see and i can’t learn well from all the way back. So anytime he teaches he knows i don’t get it and he tells me “You’ll be alright” then I just go home to watch your videos next day I come back and he’ll think he’ll catch me “lacking” but I just answer his questions with ease thanks to you!!!! My grade in his class is a 95% and thanks to you, your simple teaching and a lot of praying and hard work. I wish there was a way to repay you because only God knows what i’d have in his class if not for you sir.❤️❤️❤️
I said you and him are apparently beefing because anytime I ask him questions in class he always kind of yells and says “GO ASK RUclips” in a jealous manner
thank you for explaining this so well. my teacher last semester tried to teach me how to convert from standard to vertex form without completing the square and it just didn’t work for me :/ but, your video taught me it really well and clearly!
You broke down in 8 minutes what I spent several hours "reviewing", well done Sir. Also, you had several good examples of different cases. Doing them simultaneously helped reinforce the concepts and steps. I'd give 2 thumbs up but I have a beer in my left hand...
Thank you Mr. Brian for your amazing work but it would’ve been better if you solved each equation by itself and once again thank you and I really appreciate it!
thank you so much for these videos, theyre the only thing getting me through my virtual algebra course due to lack of actual teaching in favor of outdated presentations
ive been having trouble with grade 10 math and learning online is not helping, but you make it seem so easy. You are the only reason im passing math right now, thank you
This guy is a life saver, I'm in college. And this helped me with one of my math quizzes, I don't even remember my professor going over this content. Definitely using your guides to help study for my finals!

My method I was taught:
Have standard form
find vertex
Put in vertex form
you can do it that way, what about when there is an "a" though?
@@brianmclogan you Solve for it

His tutorials usually make sense to me but I'm lost here
Funny… I practically grew up with this guy helping me with math on last minute assignments
the steps start at 1:25
For anyone that got confused when he was subtracting numbers around 5:55. He is just subtracting the equivalent amount he just added to the inside of the parenthesis. ex. -3(x^2-2x)-1 >> -3(x^2-2x+1) -1 (+3) or -3(x^2-2x+1) -1 -1(-3)
You mad genius.
You, my good sir, are incredibly competent and that’s all I could ever ask for
Damn, lookin clean like Mr. Clean.
i wish you were my math teacher, you teach so well!
Is this completing the square too?
Yes , we complete the square to find the number on the far right corner , which is "k".
So in the first example , we got +4 by completing the square . ( we used the formula (b÷2)squared )
