Conic Sections: Parabolas, Part 1

[lonelygenie1215]

and what formula would u use do solve that?

[lonelygenie1215]

could u make a video on how to find the equation of a parabola base on the given information? if not,i have a quick question to ask!! if the problem given:vertex(0,0) and passing through the point (4,6) and it's horizontal axis,how would u find that? and what if given another point and it's vertical axis....PLEASE HELP!!!

Watched these videos with my friends at McDonald's on their phones to help ourselves on a packet we received and had no clue on how to do. THANK YOUUUUUU

@xHaruu what a wonderful modern age we live in : ) good luck!

one small question lets say i have the second form

y=ax2 + bx +c

b and c are 2 unkowns i want to determine my virtex by derviation ill end up with

1= 2ax + b which is an equation of a line and

0= 2a which is the equation of a point

i think this point is the vertex am i right ?? and i would also like to know what does the line represents if thats not too much trouble thank u kindly =)

YOU TEACHES BETTER THAN MY TEACHER

[mimiye1000]

I have been talking lecture from ur videos since last year. I found it very help full , I am getting good results . and keep recommending my class mates to ur videos .Thank you so much u ease every thing . u know how to solve and how to explain in easy way

[patrickJMT]

@mimiye1000 thanks for telling your class mates about my videos! it is appreciated.

Thank you sweet baby jesus. Finally someone who knows how to teach math. Strip it to the very basics, make it simple, step by step. Why do math teachers always have to complicate things and find different ways to "improve" the way they teach the class. Math unlike other classes is linear, theres one correct answer, and sometimes different ways to get there. Teach us the way, make it simple and snappy. This is what you've accomplished. Thank you.

I love yr videos to understand my EIT fundamentals. Thx a lot. God bless

My teacher says that the standard form for translated parabola is either (( x-h )^2 / a^2 + ( y-k )^2 / b^2) =1 or (( x-h )^2 / b^2 + ( y-k )^2 / a^2) =1. So I'm confused now. You standard form doesn't look like that.

a high school sophomore thanks you

Why didnt i come looking for ur videos last semester. I wudnt have had to repeat my pre cal class. grrrr

an Absolute Masterpiece

[larysamoskal]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm having an AHA moments every time i watch your tutorials. 

[yyourfacee]

It's great that you're doing simpler math like this as well as harder concepts like Calc III, linear algebra etc! It's great review :)

[MrinalChoudhary]

if it touches the x-axis at two points then why does it have two roots..i mean I dont get the basic part of this??...plz help..

[cmdcs1]

Great to see some conic section stuff. Are you planning to do any problems involving tangents and normals to the parabola?
