    Sir this is all I needed to understand inverse function. As an English speaker, I'm studying maths in Chinese and you just saved my life. Your students are so lucky to have you. You're the best man!

  • @brianmclogan

    I absolutely agree. Cancelling out is not a mathematical term nor should it be used when describing the process of a number being added to it's multiplicative inverse or multiplied by it's multiplicative inverse. I sometimes fall victim to using the term but always try to explain like you do during lecture. Thank you for noticing and writing to me about it because I agree with you

    I am currently using webassign for my college algebra, and your explanation is 10x better than the random people that "try" to explain how to do these.

  • @jennaalexander24
    @jennaalexander24 12 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    What if the 5 was the numerator and x-1 was the denomenator. Would you multiply by (1/5) to get rid of the 5?

  • @brianmclogan

    @DevPosley awesome, let me know how I can help you further!

  • @brianmclogan

    please do and let me know what videos you would like to see that you don't see on my channel

  • @brianmclogan
    @brianmclogan  12 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I know right? I goal is to create enough videos to supplement all the long boring instruction out there. It can just be killer here in math class.

  • @luzgarcialara1783

  • @teaguestotlar4446

    Hi Bryan! What happens when for example, the x-1 is x-2? How would you go along multiplying both sides?

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      same process, multiply by x-2 on both sides

  • @goalkeeper2258

  • @charleschanda1368

    So what other methods can I use apart from canciling out the variables

  • @xxxMellowRebelxxx
    @xxxMellowRebelxxx 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How do you work the problem with something like x-5 on the bottom?

    • @darksea3154
      @darksea3154 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You flip both sides of the equation. I’m a little late, but I hope this helps.

  • @jathea_samanthadecastro4844

    how / where do you get the +1 ?

    • @zerkboy7097
      @zerkboy7097 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Distributive property ACROSS the equal sign, so 5x=y-1 becomes 5x+1=y

  • @brianmclogan
    @brianmclogan  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ctwall18 i don't know what that means

  • @samantha2afterwuat778

  • @siphilipe
    @siphilipe 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Instead of multiply and divide (2:10) that generate questions from students, just do cross multiply and all confusions are kicked out of classroom.

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cross multiplication is only helpful when you understand why it works, I do teach it, but with caution till my students understand the inverse operations. Otherwise it is very often incorrectly applied

  • @allyzajhayequejado3378
    @allyzajhayequejado3378 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello, how do you solve it if the denominator is 4x for instance? Like this: f(x)=x+1/4x.

  • @diebel3
    @diebel3 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't like when teachers use the term 'cancel out' it doesn't describe what you are doing. When I help a fellow student, I always explain to them how (eg) 10/2 equals 5. If I want to get 5 (or 10/2) to equal 10 again, I must multiply by 2. Therefore 'getting rid of' the 2 in the denominator of the fraction 10/2

  • @brianmclogan
    @brianmclogan  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    no you will need to get the x off of the denominator

      Brian McLogan how would it be if their is a number in the x-1

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      what do you mean?

    • @itsmoon4032
      @itsmoon4032 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brian McLogan the beginning of the problem. When their is a number with the x.

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      well if you look at the graph of a function and it's inverse you will see that all the point (x,y) of a functions are swapped (y,x) for the inverse graph
