Hey mr whitt! Last time we talked I said I was off to college and I am here. Instead of a nurse I am going for early childhood education and special education. Once again like the GED you are guiding me through this math!! Thank you, I recommend you to everyone I know!!
I was struggling in my math class. My professor records video's and then posts them. He just doesn't go into detail like you do. I literally just discovered you my last 2 weeks of class and I'm so upset that I didn't find you sooner! The last video I watched (square root property) helped me understand the material. My professor skipped over posting a video about it, so I guess he expected us to learn that on our own. Once I watched your video, it blew through the homework in a matter of minutes where normally it would have taken me over an hour. Will definitely be using these video's when I get into my other math classes! Thanks for helping me pass my "remedial" math class!! I put remedial in parentheses because there is no chance that this is remedial. Now on to my College Algebra and Business Statistics math classes!!!
It is a shame that you don't teach in a college somewhere! I would be honored to have you as an instructor in the classes that I have been taking, because the teachers today are LAZY! They just don't teach anymore! Your video had (6) examples and each one was different, which has given me a better under standing of the quadratic equations. P.S. Ms. Shirley is the best!!!!!
My boy! I was gonna be tested on this today but a fire alarm went off and our teacher moved the test back one day. Took advantage of my good luck and this video helps so much! Thanks man, you doing good fam.
I knew I was doing something wrong and couldn't figure it out until I watched this video. You made it so clear that "I got it"!! From the heart, thank you so very much
I literally figured out how to do this thanks to your videos in about 10 minutes when I still couldn’t figure it out from my professor after hours of classes. Thank You!
When some of my classmates are gossiping to me that our Math teacher is explaining poorly or too fast, I recommend them to watch FortBend tutoring and they loved it! XD I'm living from the other side of the world so we just got back from school about a month ago and had a new Math teacher which is still adjusting from her job so for the meantime, I'll go and learn Mathematics from you Mr.Whit!!!
Thanks so much for the update! It's great to hear when our videos are helping students like yourself that have a desire to learn and succeed! Congrats on your 90!
i have an exam tomorrow and i believe there will be quadratic equations and this was really helpful as i have never learned them before. I thought this was going to be the hardest thing to learn but with your help i finally understand it. Bless your heart!
How to remember the quadratic formula. (Search: Awesome way to remember quadratic formula) A "negative" boy "couldn't decide" if he wanted to go to a "radical" party. "Being square he decided "not to go" and missed out on "4 awesome chicks" the party didnt end till "2am" It makes not sense but it helps me remember so it works!
Want to give a big thanks to You because I earned a 90 on my test for the solving systems of Equations, the elimination and substition method, I always come here first when I need extra help, You break things down and make it so clear. Now this video well help me on my last section in Algebra 2, next up in Radical complex numbers...also will give a donation to your channel I appreciate your time and help.
Oh no! You put the negative solutions first! My faith is shaken. LOL, seriously, thank you for the straightforward approach. It's very clear and I can usually figure out things on my own if I have a question because of the way you teach.
omg I'm preparing to take the compass test for entry into college and this had been by far the easiest quadratic tutoring I have found you have explained it to the t I am feeling more comfortable now that I've watched your vids. at my age I didn't have to learn this stuff, so thank you I will be on your page all weekend I test on monday.
I am so grateful you make these videos!! They are clear, easy to follow, and entertaining. I am passing my math class because of you😁 Thank you so very, very much
Thank you for sharing and taking time pass it on your knowledge! I never went to high should and still is I have this mathematic problem solving in my head that I've always been good at, but you are making me great. Thanks
My pleasure Valerie! However, I would appreciate you telling the truth in the future or perhaps you should seek out a seasoned eye doctor. There is no way you watched this video and thought my handwriting was neat! LOL Thanks 4 watching! :-)
This video was absolutely phenomenal!!! I can see clearly now. lol. Thanks, Mr. Whitt this is just what I needed. Keep up the good work you have made a difference in my learning.
Hi Fort Bend Tutoring even thou Mr. Whitt is having a hard time drawing braces. For me his drawing of braces is fine and cool also. And thank you for this tutoring videos it helps me in the Exams :)
Keila Calles In problem #1, (-5)² = 25 because (-5)² = (-5)(-5) = 25. When multiplying, an even amount of negatives will always yield a positive result.
I’ve seen many descriptions of how this is done but this is the best one yet. Although you’re kind of fast for a person like me meaning someone who learns math slowly, I believe you are the best math teacher on the Internet and I’ve seen a lot of them. Thank you very much!
None of the solutions are ordered pairs. We're giving you solutions sets. A set of values that will make the original problem true. The answers are actually the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation. So a solution of {-2,4} has ordered pairs that are (-2,0) and (4,0).
can i just say that as i get older (mid 50's now) i'm losing my brain power,. not only did i forget how to solve the problem, i'm getting to the point where i don't remember that i even knew it at all! so in order to hopefully re'hydrate' my brain, i'm going through all these - so thanks - great instructional video!
Everybody in my College Algebra class is struggling. I made sure to tell them all about you. My husband kept saying you need to find out how you can send money.Cause i've been talking about your videos so much!!! I cant even believe how simple you make stuff.you need to come to College of the Mainland in TexasCity.
+Shana Mark Sounds good Shana! I use to teach down the street at LaMarque High School! You can make a donation using the following link! Thanks 4 sharing [fbt] videos with your class. I really appreciate it! 😄 www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=P5DTKAQFCF7NQ
Mr. Whitt, Hello! Could you please make a tutorial video about Quadrilaterals? It is currently our Math Lesson. I would want to learn it beforehand. Thank you very much!
I really enjoyed the video. I found it very helpful, and I will use all the advice given. I was hoping the professor would go one step further. I would have appreciated a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula showing two forms for each solution. Wherein one of the forms would be an approximation in decimal format. Thanks.
Hello Mr Witt, have one quick question. If I subtract 49-48 under the radical sign,which will get me 1. Do I still write down the radical sign over 1, since it's the answer or do Perfect Squares stand alone and not need a radical sign? Thank you!
A step can include placing 1 under the radical sign. Then, actually take the square root of 1 which leaves 1. You can follow my steps in example 1 as it has a perfect square under the radical.
I'm sorry Mr. Whitt but I have one more question to ask! :( What do you do if you have 72 under the radical sign? Since It has 2 numbers with perfect squares like 9*8 or 4*18. I'm confused because they have factors as perfect squares and there both under the radical sign. Please Help! Thank you again! You've helped us a lot!
Fort Bend Tutoring Hello Mr. Whitt, I want to get a question out the way if you'd be kind to give me an answer. At the end when you are about to put the final answer.. I only see you simplify the 'the elements' as you call them (values) when it's more then one. What happens if you have one value out of the bunch that can be simplified in the answer? Do you just simplify that one (Value) which can be reduced or do you just leave it as your final answer? Thank you Mr Whitt, We can't express how much you've helped us. Thank you!
I assume you mean one of the elements (terms) is not divisible by a common factor. In that case, the result is already simplified. Put a box around it!
just want to say that your video s are really good. just want to to understand why in in your first example before you simplify your fractions the first one you show a + over a - and then the next example you show a - over a +. I got the answer right but my X formula was just the other way round {- ½,3} would have my answer been wrong?
I have a question that I hope that you are able to answer. I qould like to know the name of the device that Mr. "Whit" is using to solve problems on? I'd love to have information regarding it
Wow! Is that a specific app that he using. I am askinf because I am a math teacher and am trying to teach online. It is very difficult to write numbers and solve problems using a mouse
LOL...it's bc you're left handed! I am too! I do pretty good with the left bracket, but my right bracket sucks! And thank you for all of your tutorials, they've helped me tremendously!
question..the part i get stuck on is when you have to set the equation to zero.like in the ex ,2x=4-7x. ..you decided to dd 7 and sub 4 from both sides..y is that ?c an you make a video thoroughly explaining why you subtract or add the paticular numbers please
Natalie 8 In order to use the quadratic formula, you need the values a, b and c from the formula. Finding the coefficients a, b, and c becomes easier if the equation is set equal to zero and in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.
MR.WHITT.I AM THE IMPERTOR POLYNOMIUS.YOUR VIDEOS ARE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.I HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR GREAT AND DIVINE WISDOM.COULD YOU USE THE COMPLETING THE SQUARE METHOD AS WELL AS THE QUADRATIC FORMULA FOR ALL PROBLEMS OR ARE THE METHODS FOR SPECIFIC PROBLEMS???
🤣Happy 2 help Nathaniel! Both the quadratic formula and the completing the square method can be used to solve any quadratic equation. The square root property and zero-factor property are for specific problems! 👨🏾🏫😀
This was a great video. I was pleased that you worked out different types of problems (i.e. imaginary #s). What about presenting your answers as decimal approximations. Where can I find that? Thank you.
Usually, we present methods that are done by hand. Although there are exceptions, we assume you can input any result we have in our videos into a calculator for the decimal representation of the answer. You may have to watch another channel for consistent decimal approximations.
im trying to self teach myself some advance math before i go to college in the example x2 + 3x - 9 = 0, im stuck at x=-3 square root of 45 over 2.. im breaking down the 45 to 9*5 and than get the square root of 9 to 3, so i get x=-3 +- 3 square root 5 over 2. and now im stuck any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Fort Bend Tutoring thanks i figured it out a bit ago, the course i was taking was asking for decimals and it took me a bit to get it but after staring at the equation for about 30 minutes i realized i had to use pemdas before the square route. (a, in this case -3) had to be multiplied by the route of 9 and than +- by the square route of the 5, than divide by 2.. after watching your videos all night, i've finally understood quadrant equations, and for that i truly must thank you. very simple and easy to understand courses you have here
-7 and -9 only give you a positive result when multiplying or dividing. At this step in the problem, I'm combining like terms which means I'm either adding or subtracting. When combining like signs, add and keep the sign.
OK I'm confused! So in problem #2 C= -4 after you plugged all the values, you simplified and got (this would be under the radical sign) 49+32... (I get how you got 49 7x7) BUT #1 why aren't we using the - sign before the 4 and even if it's supposed to just stay as "subtract" #2 why did you do 4x2x4 and not 4x2x-4? is't C= -4? Help me Mr Whitt :)
+diane rozankowski I did use both the negative before the 4 and I used the value of c as -4. The product of (-4)(2)(-4) is 32. Because we have an even number of negative values the result must be positive so I focused on multiplying 4(2)(4) which is also 32. th-cam.com/video/HKxFtb28wmo/w-d-xo.html
Can you use the Quadratic formula to solve a problem with only 2 terms? Such as x^2-3x=0 ? I find using the Quadratic formula to solve these problems much easier than factoring sometimes. But, on some problems I get a term to represent A & B. But no C. Like above. Can you shed some light? Thanks! (Not really a math wiz here, so lame-man's terms are best)...

That outro was HILARIOUS!!! My question is, in the last few problems, there wasn't an ordered pair or are the solutions the ordered pair?
None of the solutions are ordered pairs. We're giving you solutions sets. A set of values that will make the original problem true. The answers are actually the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation. So a solution of {-2,4} has ordered pairs that are (-2,0) and (4,0).
Fort Bend Tutoring Thanks so much!

What do you do if you have 72 under the radical sign? Since It has 2 numbers with perfect squares like 9*8 or 4*18. I'm confused because they have factors as perfect squares and there both under the radical sign.
Please Help! Thank you again! You've helped us a lot!
Follow the steps in this video. th-cam.com/video/M_zIjMICB3k/w-d-xo.html
Fort Bend Tutoring Hello Mr. Whitt, I want to get a question out the way if you'd be kind to give me an answer.
At the end when you are about to put the final answer.. I only see you simplify the 'the elements' as you call them (values) when it's more then one. What happens if you have one value out of the bunch that can be simplified in the answer? Do you just simplify that one (Value) which can be reduced or do you just leave it as your final answer?
Thank you Mr Whitt, We can't express how much you've helped us. Thank you!
I assume you mean one of the elements (terms) is not divisible by a common factor. In that case, the result is already simplified. Put a box around it!
Excellent! The only thing that I did not understand is why you change the 49 to 7 and took it out of the radical?
Similar to fractions, you always simplify radicals when possible. Check this video out: th-cam.com/video/M_zIjMICB3k/w-d-xo.html
How would you calculate the 5 postive &negative with the square roots?
You would either write them separately or calculate one with the positive using a calculator and then the other using the negative.
thank you for breaking it down and simplifying. :)

MR.WHITT.I AM THE IMPERTOR POLYNOMIUS.YOUR VIDEOS ARE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.I HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR GREAT AND DIVINE WISDOM.COULD YOU USE THE COMPLETING THE SQUARE METHOD AS WELL AS THE QUADRATIC FORMULA FOR ALL PROBLEMS OR ARE THE METHODS FOR SPECIFIC PROBLEMS???
🤣Happy 2 help Nathaniel! Both the quadratic formula and the completing the square method can be used to solve any quadratic equation. The square root property and zero-factor property are for specific problems! 👨🏾🏫😀
Just like that. Thanks for the review Mr. Bend.
I mean Mr. Whitt, not Mr. Bend, though I'm sure he's a fine fellow too.
+Rodney Bentley lol Thanks Rodney! I'll thanks them both 4 you! ;-)
This was a great video. I was pleased that you worked out different types of problems (i.e. imaginary #s). What about presenting your answers as decimal approximations. Where can I find that? Thank you.
Usually, we present methods that are done by hand. Although there are exceptions, we assume you can input any result we have in our videos into a calculator for the decimal representation of the answer. You may have to watch another channel for consistent decimal approximations.
Thank you for helping me learn
+Rosie Balderas My pleasure Rosie! Thanks 4 watching!
im trying to self teach myself some advance math before i go to college in the example x2 + 3x - 9 = 0, im stuck at x=-3 square root of 45 over 2.. im breaking down the 45 to 9*5 and than get the square root of 9 to 3, so i get x=-3 +- 3 square root 5 over 2. and now im stuck any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Your final result is the answer. Reference example 5 in this video to ensure your answer is in the same format.
Fort Bend Tutoring thanks i figured it out a bit ago, the course i was taking was asking for decimals and it took me a bit to get it but after staring at the equation for about 30 minutes i realized i had to use pemdas before the square route. (a, in this case -3) had to be multiplied by the route of 9 and than +- by the square route of the 5, than divide by 2.. after watching your videos all night, i've finally understood quadrant equations, and for that i truly must thank you. very simple and easy to understand courses you have here
I'm happy 2 hear you figured it out and that the videos are helpful! Thanks 4 watching!
hello, pls answer my question. In eg. 2..where you have -7-9.... I thought two negatives would give you a positive 16. help me pls.
-7 and -9 only give you a positive result when multiplying or dividing. At this step in the problem, I'm combining like terms which means I'm either adding or subtracting. When combining like signs, add and keep the sign.
ok, thank you. your videos are very helpful. Could you pls post some worded problems on this topic. they are sometimes hard to understand.
Ok, we'll add your suggestion to our list of "videos 2 do".
Fort Bend Tutoring I hope you do. Algebra word problems is like learning a foreign language.. very hard =/
You videos are very helpful to meeee. Whoo life saver haha thank you very much
You're welcome Antoinette!
Hi, could you please refresh my mind and tell me why inside the root is positive 25 instead of negative 25. I will appreciate your answer.
Keila Calles -5 times -5 is 25 because a negative times a negative is always a positive
I love all your vidros wish you the best sir
Thanks 4 the support Vince! I appreciate it! 👨🏾🏫😁
Real good Mr Whitt.
+Rod Galloway Thanks so much Rod! 😁
Thank you sir this is helpful
OK I'm confused! So in problem #2 C= -4
after you plugged all the values, you simplified and got
(this would be under the radical sign)
49+32... (I get how you got 49 7x7) BUT #1 why aren't we using the - sign before the 4 and even if it's supposed to just stay as "subtract" #2 why did you do 4x2x4 and not 4x2x-4? is't C= -4? Help me Mr Whitt :)
+diane rozankowski I did use both the negative before the 4 and I used the value of c as -4. The product of (-4)(2)(-4) is 32. Because we have an even number of negative values the result must be positive so I focused on multiplying 4(2)(4) which is also 32. th-cam.com/video/HKxFtb28wmo/w-d-xo.html
+Fort Bend Tutoring Thanks for the link! I think I'm good now. No more sign questions lol. Thank you very much :)
This was super useful!!
You are awesome!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
+Katie Sallis You're very welcome Katie! Thanks 4 the support!
GREAT TEACHER.
Thanks 4 the support Siragan!
This is amazing doppppppeee
+sai naru Thanks 4 the support Sai! 👊🏾
Can u do a video about quadratic equations involving decimals please?
+arshad ash I'll add it 2 my list! Thanks 4 the suggestion!
Can you use the Quadratic formula to solve a problem with only 2 terms? Such as x^2-3x=0 ? I find using the Quadratic formula to solve these problems much easier than factoring sometimes. But, on some problems I get a term to represent A & B. But no C. Like above. Can you shed some light? Thanks! (Not really a math wiz here, so lame-man's terms are best)...
Yes, you can use the quadratic formula when you only have two terms. In your example, your C value is 0. Then, use the formula like any other problem.
Thanks so much!
Seriously thank you!!!!
