    Precalculus on Khan Academy: You may think that precalculus is simply the course you take before calculus. You would be right, of course, but that definition doesn't mean anything unless you have some knowledge of what calculus is. Let's keep it simple, shall we? Calculus is a conceptual framework which provides systematic techniques for solving problems. These problems are appropriately applicable to analytic geometry and algebra. Therefore....precalculus gives you the background for the mathematical concepts, problems, issues and techniques that appear in calculus, including trigonometry, functions, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and others. There you have it ladies and gentlemen....an introduction to precalculus!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.
    For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

    Hello Again Mr Sal, I have never done partial fractions till two days ago and I was watching some dvd's on partial fractions and the instructor was using the A B method of decomposition and the problem was similar to this one and I kept thinking couldn't you just use a matrix type of process ? sort of divide one into the other or subtract it or something ? I did several of them but obviously could not ask a question of a fairly critical step that he did and I got tired and let it go till this evening and decided to come and see Mr Sal's perspective and lo and behold he does a simple division !!!! You just simplified the whole process, the simple elementary division explanation just reduced the whole "mess" to the lowest common denominator explanation.....I could understand to a certain degree how the instructor was doing the deconstruction but rote explanation is very frustrating to me , when I was younger in math I had to be able to "see" the entire equation in my head what am I measuring...? if you tell me to measure the volume of a swimming pool ..no problem , if I am measuring trig functions I am looking right triangles and their ratios....but without some type of explanation of the purpose of dissecting a denominator it's like cutting into a lab rat in the dark , I have no idea what I am looking , I have no idea what I just sliced into....anyway you nailed it ...again thanks....

    10:50 - He speaks the truth! If you're just learning this in algebra or pre-calculus, don't forget it! You will definitely see it in all its glory in calculus and differential equations classes.

    I am in the process of watching all your videos from the very beginning (I am only watching this one because I have subscribed to your channel and it popped up on my account), and even if I understand the first topics completely I still watch the videos just because it is such an enormous pleasure to see you explain stuff :) Thank you for being the greatest teacher I have ever had, Mr. Khan!

  • @noblessus
    @noblessus 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes you should match the correct numerator with the correct denominator. The factor you must choose is the same factor that won't be canceled out after you multiply the numerator by the common denominator. Otherwise you wouln't get the original fraction back. I suggest you look again @ 5:38

  • @noblessus
    @noblessus 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I assume that when you say "terms" you really mean "factors" right? Because we are placing factors, and not terms under A and B. Anyway, in such case, it does NOT matter under what you place them as long as you remember which one you chose to put under what numerator and dont interchange them in the middle of your calculations (since there is no algebra law that allows interchanging numerators in this way). Remember that (a+b)+c= a+(b+c), and that A and B are just placeholders. Hope this helps.

  • @HASMADU
    @HASMADU 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @scorpionboy3 i use the same process! its just u find what 2 numbers multiply to give -40 and also when you add those two numbers they give -3! so -8 x 5 = -40. and when u add -8 + 5 it give -3! so yea its (x -8) (x+5)

    Due to the commutative property, it makes no difference what order you multiply factors.
    A x B = B x A. 2x4=4x2 etc.The only case order matters in multiplication is with Matrices.
