Hi all! Please post comments, questions and anything else on your mind in the comment section! While I try to answer as many questions as I can, there are more questions than I can answer by myself so if you are someone who might be able to help, please do so! The community is so much better when everyone is involved and helping each other out. Our strength is our willingness to help each other! Also please feel free to like or dislike the video. Your feedback is always appreciated so that hopefully I can make my future videos the best possible! Thanks and happy studies!
agreed josh t. but i also agree strongly with slikver. i think it should be required for students to take a class on basic finance including loans, taxes, retirement plans, interview skills, etc.. The stuff all of us will use in life. I am not sure how important many of the topics taught in algebra are.
patrickJMT I agree. I feel like we should have more choice with our courses in High School. Algebra was important for me since I am a CS major and math will not be going away anytime soon. But I'm sure for the majority of people it's not necessary. There should be one course that just teaches you how to (properly) adult. Taxes, loans, retirement plans, interview skills, social skills, etc. Real life skills. I learned about taxes inside and outside of High school. Had an economics class. To be fair it was mostly a blow-off class. Many would also argue that the parents should teach these things. But in some instances.... Maybe they don't have parents or their parents aren't very knowledgeable on those things either.
Nah fr I got an F on my homework cause I did this shii wrong but after watching this video I wanna cry at how much I understand him more than my teach 😭
+foreverX ransford You can factor out an x squared first: so then it looks like: (x^2) ( 3x^2 - 5x - 3 ) that means that x^2 = 0, so you have x = 0 as a zero, and it has a multiplicity of 2 (meaning that particular zero showed up twice as an answer.) Then, use the quadratic formula to find the zeros of the rest.good luck!
josabad munoz However, some polynomials can't be factored with conventional rules and you need to use the test and divide to find the zeroes. But totally, factor if there's an obvious root that saves you the trouble of doing this
TacocatBackwards Well, their is Newton's Method, which is one quicker alternative to finding the zeros of a polynomial function, instead it utilizes calculus. Another is Descarte's rule of signs, but involves no calculus.
thank you man. No joke 1 minute and 25 seconds into this video it explained more that my online class professor who leaves a lot of steps out. Appreciate it
I have watched several instructors and this is one of the best demonstration as he does not waste time. If you understand the best principle it should not be confusing. I have watched them over and over to arrive at the principle being taught.
being able to find the zeros of a polynomial is a fundamental problem in mathematics; many real problems can be stated in this form and the solutions are then the zeros. i agree, not everyone in the world is going to use this. in fact, a small percentage will. however, that small percentage are people doing (to me) cool things: building bridges, computer science and programming (you like the internet, i bet), studying infectious diseases via statistics, the list goes on and on.
I love you!!!! lol. Seriously, thanks, I spent two hours reading the book and the notes and I couldn't figure out what to do after the first synthetic division. Outstanding work, great explanation. You are the man.
I know this video is a bit old now but I still want to express my gratitude. You helped me out a lot tonight with my homework and I truly appreciate it. Thank you!
Thank you, I've been looking high and low for a video that would teach me how to find the zeros of a polynomial with a degree higher than 3, and this really helped me out! Keep doing what you're doing, you're a massive help :)
I never knew how to do the ones with the rational zeros because i skipped math the day we leanred them.. thank you so much for dedicating your time to upload these videos!!!!
maths was my favourite subject school - i was getting close to 100% from year 9 to year 12 but then I got pressured to do pharmacy and pharmacy in australia is by far underpaid compared to the US so I have reverted my career to medical statistics (biostatistics) - i have used your video patrick as well as khan academy to help me revize my maths - thanks for all your help. i havent done maths for over 12 years
omg this helped so much. I can never understand what my teacher is teaching, but then when I watch math videos they make everything clearer. thanks so much!
I had so many ppl try to explain this to me... but I just sat there saying yeah... your video really helped me understand how to do these problems now! Thank you so much!
Patrick JMT. Ignore all - ve comments as I've found this tutorial a great help. This will really help me in the future, when I am trying to factor and then state the zeros of cubics and higher degree Polynomials. By the way, if it wasn't for people like you, who give up their free time to help others with their Mathematical issues, then we'd all be worse off, so to speak. Thanks. Dominic
thank you so much for your videos, i was absent the day this lesson was taught in my class and my friends' notes did NOT help me in the slightest. this really is a lesson that has to be taught verbally
Thank you for making so much sense! I was recently home sick from school for four days and pretty much had to fend for myself as far as learning the lessons I missed. Thanks to your videos, when I came back to school and aced the quiz on everything I missed.
God bless your soul... you cleared up everything and i just went to about 6 other videos and none of which could explain this concept like you did. THX
Honestly you deserve an award my good sir. Math test tomorrow, missed review day and looking at the packet I was so confused until I found your video. Cheers!
This fit nicely in with my adv functions class right now. I missed a week of school getting knocked on my ass by a virus. Factoring was always a weak spot and then this came along... Thanks again!
you can also plug the equation into the calculator and check the x intercepts to make the problem easier to find the possible roots and solve using synthetic division. This is so helpful!
Well, in that equation, you would factor out an x giving you x(x^2-4). Then you could factor the x^2-4 into (x-2)(x+2) giving you x(x+2)(x-2). Then set them equal to zero and get the zeros, -2, 0 and 2.
Dude, ever since I started watching your videos my grade went up from a C to a B in Pre-Calculus. No lie. You make things sooo much simpler!! I LOVE YOU!
Dude, you are better at teaching than my professor is. I cannot express how thankful I am for your videos, and how angry I am that my university chose to hire someone who cannot speak english or dictate coherently.
Instead of finding all factors of zero by hand use a graphing calculator and put the function in, then go to the table and type in a value for x using a number from rational zero theorem. If it is a zero the y value will be zero. This is so much easier then guess and check by hand.
This is SO much more understandable as a method than what we are being taught to do in class. Thank you so much. You just saved me from having to re-take a class next year!
I've gone through all three of your "Finding all the Zeros of a Polynomial" examples. I have a math test tomorrow and this has been helpful :) thank you!
Thanks man. I was absent from school last Thursday when we learned this and you know how helpful the math textbook is when explaining things...anyway, thank you for your help!
You have no IDEA how excited I am!!! I am doing online College Algebra (teaching myself basically) This was amazing! I've asked multiple math majors and this video explained it in the best way possible to help me!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! I might just pass this test!
THANK YOU SO MUCH my teacher really doesn't know how to make me understand this stuff... i've learned this so much easier in like 10 minutes from you than from a whole month of school with my teacher! really, thank you (:
so helpful and straight to the point and you show the best techniques and its so easy to follow because u explain it all! my teacher didnt teach us anything like this and it was so hard for me until i watched this and now i can do my homework!! thank you soooo much
Wow, thank you so much for making this video. I just learned this in class this morning, and I was the only person in my class who didn't understand the lesson. This video was incredibly helpful. You either explained it much better than my teacher, or I was still half asleep when he taught it to us. :) Again, thank you!
YOU ARE FANTASTIC !!! u and your lectures always save my life!!!!! I don't know how to thank you.. Again, Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us as students. Your my best teacher and tutor EVER
i'm a little upset right now because my teacher had us go through a whole bunch of steps to find the zeros but you kept it simple and to the point lol thank you. I was a little confused at first bet this video helps.
Thank you so much, I have a test tommorow and its been three weeks since the unit started and i have learned so much stuff about polynomials its insane. I used all your videos that I needed for review and I have an even better understanding! Thank you for the great explanations, great hand writing, and great videos. Keep up the good work :)
this helped so much!!! i have watched so many other videos here on utube ab how to find the roots of quartic functions but only this has helped me n i feel a lot more confident on how to find the zeros of quartics thank u so much

patrickJMT can you group factor the polynomial you get after you plug in 1 to find the other factors??
2x square
5x square
3x-18
We learned it differently...instead of finding f(p/q) = 0, we tested p/q with synthetic division to make sure we got 0 as a remainder
I don't know how to do taxes, or how to sign up for a 401k, but thank christ i know how to find the zeroes of a polynomial.
+Slikver The Wise tru
To be fair, doing taxes doesn't take a whole semester to learn nor does learning about a 401k.

+patrickJMT What if you don't have a constant? Like 3x^4 - 5x^3 -3x^2
+foreverX ransford You can factor out an x squared first: so then it looks like:
(x^2) ( 3x^2 - 5x - 3 )

Newton’s method doesn’t always work though. It’s good when it does but if you have a point where f’ =0 then you can’t use it anymore
