I just finished my first night class for Pre-Calc30 and this video made everything we covered last night make a lot more sense. I really appreciate your efforts. I will watch more of your content as I am also upgrading my CHEM 30
Eric Moore any1 is better than my teacher, he doesn’t even try to teach he just hands us the notes and is like alright here is your homework and then does nothing for the rest of class
@@lastpot261 reason for that probably stems from public school teacher's confidence in their job security, but TH-camrs have to lecture well to attract more popularity? But in either way this TH-camr is really well at lecturing so I'd rather to spend time with him even though he charges in the future.
I'm in college algebra and I was seriously struggling with this. I did not get a good grasp from my professor. I watched videos from my online textbook, khan academy, and multiple random vids on youtube before I found yours. Thanks so much for the concise explanation!
Thank you very much, professor dave. I’m watching a bunch of these videos to help me with my Algebra 1 class, as my teacher (and most US schools tbh) just teach “this is the formula, solve now” and not the actual concept in a way that’s easy to understand. Your videos make it a whole lot easier to grasp the concept of what all the x^2 stuff actually is doing to the function, and even made clearer what a function *is* . Thanks
Brain.exe crashed, watched 4 vids today of your mathematics series. The highest i watched in one day. I have watched 65 vids so far. You are the one to be called a teacher. You have earned my respect sir. May Allah bless you!
You saved my day, sir! I was struggling to understand this concept for my SAT prep, and search lot of YT tutorial but noc explain it like you. Take love, I am from Bangladesh!
Thank you so much but you made a mistake in the summary of transformation for the h variable. Positive h= shift left, negative h= shift right . You’re the best❤
@@denzelzuofa3066 (x - h) here h is unknown so if we put any negative no. it will be ( x - (-h) ) making h positive so it'll shift left. :) hope i helped.
Thank you mr dave, my teacher takes the teach out of teacher. They make me want my trial of life to expire. All they do is read off the textbook but add their own grammatical mistakes into the mix, give us an unreasonable amount of homework that doesn’t relate to what we covered, and be annoying. My mental sanity goes down several notches every second i am in that prison cell. Thank you for teaching me in the way my “teacher” could not even dream of.
please keep making videos this is the only one I truly understood and I watched at least ten, in the future please add more examples just for reference
In the final transformations table the horizontal shift is the other way around as stated during the video and the final comprehension exercises. A positive h means a shift to the left and a negative h a shift to the right!
im confused about the horizontal shift transformation on 6:28. I understood that (x+h) shifts left while (x-h) shifts right on the graph, or something I missed?
That's correct. Think of the minus sign in (x-h) being part of the original form (like a formula). If h is positive, you have (x-h). If h is negative, you have (x-(-h)), which becomes (x+h).
Thanks! I made a special ‘cheat’ card from 6:28 to help me on transformations with my pre-calculus homework. I figured it didn’t have to be as complicated as many have been making it.
Good video. I've read the order of operations matter when transforming functions. First we do the innermost parenthesis (horizontal shift) , then the horizontal/vertical stretches, and then the vertical shift. f(x) = -2(x - 3) ^2 +4 worked the way you did it, but there are cases where it won't.
Hello Professor Dave! Thank you so much for these valuable lessons! I have a question about the table @6:34. Isn't it supposed to read "positive h=shift left, negative h= shift right? Is there a typo or did I misunderstand something? Thanks again!
It's not a typo. It's because it says x - h. The sign is not included (if it was, it would say x + h). That means that a positive h, which is then inverted, produces a shift to the right. Hopefully that was clear.
@@ArthasFB Thank you for your explanation. However, I'm afraid I still don't understand because the formula on the table doesn't match the explanation Prof. Dave gives @2:27. I'd appreciate any further clarification. Thanks again!
@@elhadjitalla3054 The video says x + 2 generates a shift to the left. That is, x plus a positive number. The same way, x - 2 generates a shift to the right. That is, x plus a negative number (or minus a positive number). You can express that as x + h where if h is positive, it shifts to the left and if h is negative, it shifts to the right. In the example, h is 2. But it is easier to remember if h being positive generates a shift to the right. For that, we can flip the sign of h (x - h). This means if we plug a positive number in h, let's say 3, it gives x - 3 and so the shift is to the right. Notice that the sign is not part of h. For a negative value, - 3, it gives x - (-3) = x + 3 and so it is a shift to the left.
@@ArthasFB Wow! Thank you so much for your patience and kindness. I think I got it now! So it's all about the sign of the number you plug in for h. Thank you again so much!
I think you should always mention the order of transformations the same way you would do order of operations or the transformation could become messed up if you were to manually calculate it.
It seems like the summary has some unintended mistake. You said that if h is negative, it should be shifted to right. But on the summary, it says that if h is negative, it should also shift to left. I'm confused, professor.
At 4:13 , I'm confused as to why we square before flipping the sign. When I see -x^2 intuition tells me to plug in the x value then square that negative number. It seems like only -(x^2) should do that. Someone please explain this. I know it's right but I can't wrap my head around why.
@@ProfessorDaveExplainsnewb here. Out of high school for 14 years and starting my first college courses next fall on a physics path. I have a long way to go. Thanks for that clarification. Just something I'll have to memorize since intuition is failing me on that particular notion.
@@ProfessorDaveExplainsi feel pretty confident it's because -x is -1x and ord of op will do exponents before multiplying. Thanks for all your content. It's been immeasurably helpful!

Just one doubt
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal stretch?
Same doubt
If you vertically compress it would look like a bowl, and if you horizontally stretch it would look like a huge U
Thank You Mr. Dave!
You are explaining very well 👍🏻👍🏻
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU U R A LIFE SAVERRRR I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING LIFE
ugh thank u for this!! i need to take a quiz & even with notes the whole concept was still confusing u cleared a lot of it up!

Is it "horizontal compress" at 3:37 instead of "horizontal stretch" as you say? Please check it up.
a stretch can be applied in the positive or negative direction, either way we refer to it as stretch.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains it either compressed or stretched ?????
Ur a great man love ur videos keep uploading
Keep it sir

Completed playlist in 3 days
Okay, can someone please explain the difference between the horizontal and vertical thingy for Dilation.
thanks a ton your vids help alot especially since ive been doing online school
oh, professor thanks. Actually I also really liked your videos in Astronomy.
even after all this time this is video is very good
You make it sound so easy as rare in a math teacher
In the table, for horizontal shift-- positive h = shift to the lift instead of the right. Am I right?
This video was really informative...thank you!
The whole video is summed up at 6:32
thanks
I love you
Sheft it down by 5
Sheft it up by 1 and stretch it by 2
Move it to the right by 1 and stretch it by 3
thank you so much for this, such a wholesome video to learn! God Bless!

Very helpful video but on 3:39 you said horizontal stretch but you also said if it's better than 1 it's horizontal compress. Just check that keep up.

but don't forget that minus a negative h is positive

Thank you Professor
what would the transformation be for square roots such as 3square root x

SO GOOD!
Shouldn't it střech horizontally too in the bottom example? It doesn't make sense to me :D 3:49

Hi, please correct the summary table: Horizontal shift part where negative h= is supposed to be to the right and positive h= shift left
how do u pick which numbers go under the x in the right column

At 6:30, you told, "+h = shift right, -h = shift left". Shouldn't it be "+h = shift left, -h = shift right"?
