i have also explained this method in more easily .. watch on my youtube channel .. Tajamul Sir ..

I’ve just had a private lesson ,and still can’t do it

yup it looks like one

Shhhs dont complain,YT might screw us over if the find out

Simple colour palette, nothing to blur.

Haha I actually filmed this on my super old Droid RAZR. I really don't get it either :D

Hey

100% agreed thx so much BetterThanYourProf

LOL

6. Giving up

@@benisman underrated comment

@@ayushkishor3207 for real

I just want 3 it's too much for me

Summer class Gaming WOAH TWO YEARS AGO LOL quadratics are easy as you get higher and higher in math

Thanks! Back when I made these videos I was tutoring math every day so I had lots of practice

@@stuartbowman_ Oh my gosh, I had thought you left, your tutoring level is so much better then anyone I find on youtube and they try to make it look cool with graphics but you doing it on paper really makes it feel like authentic maths! I wish you would come back

Great to hear, thanks man. No I don't have any videos specifically about that, but you can always divide both sides of the equation by whatever the leading coefficient is to eliminate it. If you proceed from there with the same method, it won't be pretty but it'll work. Cheers

Completing The Square really makes sense when you see it done with the area model. It because obvious why the middle term is divided in 2 and squared. A Quadratic is a square, geometrically-speaking. The reason you divide the middle term in 2 is because each side lengths have to be the same. You square it because you are literally adding a missing square units (length X width) to the larger square to make it whole. One thing I've learned about math is the more you understand (concepts and mathematical logic), the less you have to memorize. Math is just the language of numbers. Good luck in school.

I'm good :) So glad these videos are still useful to people

@@stuartbowman_ OHMYGOD,,, you replied! glad to hear that! and yes this was very helpful, thank you so much!

I just have one thing to ask why did you cancel the -7?

And like would that happen in like any question with completing the square

@@user-in9of6os2c ... yes... you have to move the end coefficient to the other side in order to make a perfect square on one side... but also note you have to add the new coefficient to both sides in order for the equation to balance. As you can see, he’s not done anything that unbalances the equation. Eg, he hasn’t added to one side, that he hasn’t done for the other... I hope that helps. The formula he gave is ‘B (middle coefficient of x) divided by 2 and squared’. So, half of 10 and squared = 25... then add 25 to both sides. Also remember, X is one side of the equation and Y is the other... on your graph, you have X axis, positive & negative, and Y axis, positive and negative.... thus a squared graph, and why the expression is completing the square. After you’ve solved the quadratic equation, for X & Y, you can then plot or plug in the numbers onto your graph... it looks hard, but when you know how and why it’s used, it’s actually a work of genius.

heh

Then you divide all the numbers by the a FOR example 2x² + 10x = 0 You do 2x²/2 + 10x/2 = 0

twistedblktrekie I've been homeschooling myself alone with books and online resources for over a year now. The internet and myself are the best teachers i've ever had. Math teachers would practically never explain anything. I went to a public school in a ghetto too, so, that also probably didn't help. I can hardly wait until i start calculus. I never imagined that i would actually love mathematics.

twistedblktrekie I learn in a similar way, but for me, if it doesn't make sense to me conceptually, i'll have more trouble recalling it, and i'll get frustrated, so, i usually don't move on until i understand the concept adequately at the very least (by my own judgement i suppose, but hey). Luckily, the concepts often aren't difficult for me to understand at all, but i'm only on algebra 2 right now. I desperately want to be a physicist. I don't know if i can, or if i can even get into a good university due to my past and the circumstances my past has put me in. But it's what i want anyway. I'm 19, so i'm already very behind too.

twistedblktrekie My mom is a nurse; knowing what i know, i would never ever get into medical. Physics is my dream. It has been since 1st grade. I'm just not giving up because there isn't much else i want out of life aside from that anyway, aside from my dogs and some video games. Money doesn't matter much to me as long as i have those 3 things and sustenance, basically.

twistedblktrekie Honestly, i only took half a course in quantum mechanics before i decided to stop and go learn the math first. But, that half a course changed the world in my eyes, and i feel like it's something i'd like to put my life into. I loved physics since first grade; i just didn't know it before about a year and a half ago. There are a lot of good physics courses online, and a lot of good books if you're interested. I personally would recommend the Feynman lectures firstly. Wish me luck... I'll probably have a hard time getting into a good university, but, i suppose i'm too dense to give up.

twistedblktrekie It depends. There are jobs in universities, in companies, and for the government. The university jobs are the best; and the most difficult to attain. I do not want to work for the government, but company jobs can vary greatly. I want to be able to do actual research though. I really need to get into a top school, at least for grad school. People who go to just any old university for a physics major seem to always end up in a cubicle farm doing work that their heart isn't in.

@Matthew Bair Yeah, that' a Prime number.
