I like his thoroughness. He was very easy to understand as he was defining terms as he worked through. Many times teachers leave out pertinent comments that make the process clear. Thank you sir!
I love the enthusiasm you have for math!! It almost made me reevaluate my hate for it lol. Since math is a necessity though , I really enjoyed the lesson...helped a lot.
Thank you for your kind lessons, and you're so powerful teacher, I'm following your video everyday in the morning, I live in the UK, but because I would like to reach A LEVEL.
LOVE. THIS. GUY. I've seen about a dozen other videos on this topic and still get wishy-washy but this guy is on it and he's pretty entertaining to listen to "mmhm!"
Thank you so much for helping me! I didn't really understand our lesson for today at school and we have a quiz tomorrow so I checked out youtube videos and I ended up here :) Thank you again!
Hi my name is Peter and I thank you Mr. Witt for these videos. Tomorrow is our exams and its about radicands and I thank you for helping me learn. Kepp making videos! hahaha
this very cool. I like your videos! Also, if you want to use a similar process of using conjugates when dividing cubic radicals, this process is called using a sum or difference of cubes. Just like how you used conjugates in the form of (a+b)(a-b), with cubes you can use (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) and (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
OMG ur blessed, my teacher just doesn't know how to explain anything. Or maybe i'm just stupid, idk. Anyways, back to the point. Love the way u explain and teach in general, this vid saved my ass as well for a test tmrw like what Chelsae Rae said. ;P
Too fast for me. Thank goodness for the pause and rewind option. I' m trying to learn so I can help my 8th grader. Thanks, I have a better understanding. I'll be checking out your other videos. Thanks again.
For the final answer where it is - 14 sqrt - 14 sqrt is the answer for that portion -28 sqrt and from -28 do you get 2 sqrt 14 by multiplying 14 times two to get 28?
Thank you for posting this video! Even though the explanation is fast, I understand it and I think it is also helped me improve my hearing. Really! It helped me a lot but can you do more complicated problems? Thank you sir in advance!
On number 2 could you have also squared the fraction or would that change the value? Like distribute the ^2 to 6 and to sqrt 2 so then you will get 36 over 2? Then simplify to 18? It is a ‘radically’ different answer than 3 times sqrt 2. May you please clarify for me.
I thought about it and you can’t square it because then what happens is you multiply the top by 6 and the bottom by sqrt 2 which is not rationalizing because it changes the value and ratio by multiplying a different number to the denominator and a different number to the numerator.
The "minus" sign you're referring to was eliminated along with the middle terms in the denominator in the previous step. Only 7-2 remains in the denominator to yield 5 as a result.
When adding radicals, you only add the coefficients on the common roots. The roots are only changed when multiplying or dividing and don’t change when combining like terms.
Hey, your videos are really helpful and very clear to understand. But i have one question, when im solving these type of problems with radicals and fractions in it, what order do i follow? I mean how will I know if I should factor out a number, cancel out number, simplify radical, or divide the radicals first? Also what about BEDMAS rule? do we follow BEDMAS in these type of questions too or not?
Yes, BEDMAS can be applied and it can be frustrating as different problem types are best solved a certain way. My advice to you is to solve as many problems as possible so that you’re exposed to various types so that you’ll know how to solve them when you’re tested.
On that second problem what if instead of the radical being the denominator it was the numerator and the number without the radical was the denominator?
For the final answer where it as -2 sqrt 14 my understanding that part of the answer was generated by multiplying -2 by 14 which is -28, is this correct?
Jonathan Kelly -√(14) and -√(14) have a sum of -2√(14). Check out our Adding and Subtracting Radicals videos: th-cam.com/video/xQ-esyi_ziM/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/qkve0IX77kw/w-d-xo.html
Just leave it like that Carly. You can't add the 15 and 2√2 because they are unlike terms and the "2" is a part of 2√2 and can not be added without the √2.

your videos always help me in my algebra class so just want to say thank you for doing a very good deed for many. I have an equation I'd like your assistance with 5/5x-11 + 4/2x-3 = -3/5-x
+Ma Majah If you need more assistance, you can schedule a paid online tutorial at www.TutorMeMath.net or check our recommended channels list for a video on the topic.
Great explanations, but I know I'm going to have a problem remembering how to work those roots in the denominator that are cubed roots, fourth roots, and fifth roots, etc. But if I write this comment, it will help me to remember: So as I understand it, if we have a 4th root of 3 in the denominator, we must multiply it and the numerator by the fourth root of 21, and if we have the 5th root of 4 in the denominator, we must multiply the numerator and denominator by the 5th root of 256, etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I had to stop the video and go back over that part to understand the relationships of the numbers, but I think I'll get it. I just always have to know "why" something is true and prove it to myself when I don't immediately grasp it intuitively. Thank you for your hard work and caring attitude, you've helped a lot of people of different ages and from all walks of life to learn (or re-learn) math.
In your example of having the fourth root of 3 in the denominator, you would multiply the numerator and denominator with the fourth root of 27 (the result of 3^3 which is needed to make a perfect 4th).
@@FortBendTutoring Yes, what was I thinking?? Of course it;s 27, not 21, but I guess I was trying to keep too much on my mind and I wanted to get it "on paper" too fast. Plus I was cooking my French toast at the time (excuses, excuses : ) Thanks for the correction and quick response.

On the last problem. when you subtracted the 7 minus a negative 2, shouldn't the demonimator be a 9 instead of the 5 you placed there?

Then it would be a totally different problem.
@@FortBendTutoring ok thanks
what happens when the result has a denominator with a negative number?
+Alexandre Juca The answer is negative. You can leave the negative sign in the denominator or bring it in front of the fraction.
For the final answer where it as -2 sqrt 14 my understanding that part of the answer was generated by multiplying -2 by 14 which is -28, is this correct?
No. -2 sqrt 14 came from combining - sqrt 14 and - sqrt 14 to get -2 sqrt 14. Remember when combining like terms like signs add.
