I found this channel a few days ago. I am glad I did. When I was a kid I struggled with math because none of my teachers were this straight forward, and to the point which made everything confusing. I have learned more in the FBT videos than I ever have all through high school. Not just this channel, but there are all kinds of math videos, books, and DVDs that I have discovered as an adult that I didn't know were available. TH-cam didn't exist when I was going to school as a kid or even as a teenager. I am 40 now making up for lost time. I have been trying to get my math level up. 1) So I can pass the math portion on an entrance exam for an apprenticeship. And 2) eventually I am going back to college to get some kind of degree. So thank you FBT for posting your videos. Really good stuff brother! I dig it!
Eric Bouler good luck on your apprenticeship, people always need a tradesman. I really did not understand higher math in high school, and though I used basic formulas early in my nursing career later IV pumps and the pharmacy did most calculations. But it still bugs me that I don’t know how to do Algebra. I am grateful for the teachers on TH-cam.
Mr Witt is fantastic. I'm 69 years old and haven't used algebra since I was 36. I'm doing this to keep my mind in shape. He explains everything in a way that's easy to grasp and understand.
the videos and tutoring process is really clear and straightforward and very good but what I really really like is is the only tutoring that I've seen that has a little bit of humor added in it too . . . the beginning and ending are really funny and it makes me smile which I don't normally do when it comes to math!!!!
I have to say you are very good at what you do. The most straight forward, direct approach, presented in a way that guides but then allows us to challenge ourselves. A calm demeanor with a slight twang of humor, I think all the comments display your success as a teacher and reinforce that we learn quickly with your videos. You were born to teach!
seriously you are a blessing!!! I was crying and almost about to give up on my degree because I just could not understand this concept, now I get it! THANK YOU!!!
Thank the Lord that I found Mr. Whitt's channel. I was having a hard time solving the problems but you made it so easy to understand. Thank you Mr. Whitt!
I have been trying so many different tutors on Math but none of them couldn’t explain any better than you. Some of them played too much while working on examples and some did it so serious and kept moving on without any clear explanations. Thanks
Mr. Whitt... you sir are far and above the best teacher I've ever encountered, bar none. I have been struggling for weeks with this stuff and you make it so damn simple. You have a gift sir.
my teacher keeps on using your videos-in fact,she even used factoring quadratic equation part 2 last monday...we learned how to solve such equations clearly so thank you mr. whitt...fortbendtutoring
honestly im starting to understand it more with each step of the process. taking notes and really feeling hopeful about math. Thank you professor Whitt !!!
Hello Daniel! Nice to see you again! So, I count a minimum of 6 examples you may have seen in all. I look forward to our quest for perfection in you! Challenge!!!!
It's 2020 quarantine season, im taking college algebra online. I havent taken a math class in over 3 years and ive forgotten EVERYTHING! This is helping sooooo much thank you!
I wish I found this video before I failed my last exam on this subject and was going to drop my class, now I'm confident and I won't drop but will follow your examples. We are multiplying and dividing rational expressions and now adding and subtracting rational expressions with common denominators and least common denominator. The exam I failed was factoring polynomials which I just finished all three of your series and have a much better understanding, however, factoring trinomials and the perfect square is really hard for me to understand. Thank you I really appreciate all your video's!!!!!!
I wish my teacher thought us this method. It's pretty straight forward. The only hard part is finding the primes that add up to the middle coefficient but with practice I'm sure it gets easy. Thanks for sharing this method!
Mr. Whitt. Thanks so much for making my life so much easier and helping me through a tough semester. I hope you are able to help and support other like you did me. Congrats on another subscriber. Ps. Where can I get one of those styluses.
Aloha Mr. Whitt, I'd like to purchase your Simply Math Workbook #12 and inquiring on shipping charges to Hawaii as it is not indicated at checkout. Kindly advise. Most appreciative. Marlena
Hello Marlene! You can purchase it using this link: shop.tutormemath.net/product/simply-math-workbook-12 We no longer ship hard copies. After purchasing the workbook, you’ll receive a link to download the workbook.
My meaning u analyze 15 to 5x3. And 36. To 2.2.3.3 which number I should choose ?and to which number I can multiplying ..yesterday I have examination and I failed
In #4 I tried doing it by myself and got (n-1)(7n+5) then I found out that I didn't factor the seven out in the beginning. Do you have to factor it or is my answer another possible answer
You must always factor out the GCF first and include it in your answer. Keep in mind that the product of your solution must be equal to the original problem.
How do you do problems like this 16^4+39x^3y-21x^2y^2 or 6x^4+39x^3y-21x^2y^2 please help, I love watching your methods, you can explain things to me way better than my professor.
You may find additional steps in this video to solve your problems: th-cam.com/video/WQ2uqsmapLw/w-d-xo.html However, to answer your specific examples you would need to schedule a paid tutorial at www.TutorMeMath.net.
Hello referring to your workbook 12. Could you please confirm that the answer to no. 67 is (2x-3) (4x+5)? With the greatest respect, and I really mean the greatest), your printed answer might be wrong? (The printed answer is (2x-6) (4x+5)). Cheers from the u.k., Malc
Yes, the correct answer is (2x - 3)(4x + 5). When did you purchase the workbook? It has been corrected and I’ll send you a corrected copy. Send an email to FBT@TutorMath.net to receive your updated workbook.
For your problem 20x^2+13x-15, you had the factors of +25 and -12. I had +15 and -2. Why does 25 and 12 work where 15 and 2 don't? I really love your videos; I've spent hours and hours reviewing my Algebra 1 & 2. :)
I found another combination of factors that also work 15 and 36. Can I go down this path or is there only one way to express the factorization of a quadratic and trinomial equation. My alternative factorization to 15f^2+44f-36=0 is: (5f+12).(f+1)=0 What do you say professore?

Hello every one ,,hello teacher,my question how can I know to multiple the factor to get medium number ?
In #4 I tried doing it by myself and got (n-1)(7n+5) then I found out that I didn't factor the seven out in the beginning. Do you have to factor it or is my answer another possible answer

I live in Houston and attend HCC how can I take your class?
I usually teach at the Spring Branch, Katy, Alief-Bissonnet, and Alief- Hayes campuses. This Summer I’ll be at Alief-Hayes and Spring Branch.
Why can you place a remaining denominators in front of the variables? I know that it works when you check the answer but I don't know why?
It’s reversing the zero-factor property. That’s why the process works consistently.
Hello referring to your workbook 12. Could you please confirm that the answer to no. 67 is (2x-3) (4x+5)? With the greatest respect, and I really mean the greatest), your printed answer might be wrong? (The printed answer is (2x-6) (4x+5)). Cheers from the u.k., Malc

It's because that method doesn't work for quadratic trinomials where the "a" value is not 1. Thanks 4 your patronage!
Thank you!
how do you do 5n^2-5n-7
This expression is not factorable. It's prime.
so there is no answer?
The answer is "not factorable" or "prime".
so what would be answer
Put "prime".
thanks
W...O..W..THANKS!
THIS WAS EXCELLENT
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HELPFUL
IM 54 Y/O
What if both factorizations are different, none repeated
You still use all the factors to find products that will add or subtract to get the middle term's coefficient.
