The Distance Formula

[MusicOverdoser]

MY TEACHER IS BORING AND DOESNT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN A SINGLE THING -.-" without these video's i'd fail maths.

[RelifordGaming]

man i hate math, it seems like over 50% of the math we have to learn will only be helpful if we are one day math teachers:)

[MusicOverdoser]

@RelifordGaming actually, i used to say that too. and i found out just yesterday that maths is important. you may not actually use it one day. but it does help your brain function, work and solve problems. that's a fact :)

[MultiSHAOKHAN]

wow! That`s great ;)! Imagine ho useful is Pythagorean theorem

[salviileo]

hey thanks a lot ! i needed a refresher and I'm hoping not to forget again like i always do. I just hate it ugh

[myvids847]

hey do u want to replace my teacher haha jk

[abdulwahedist]

thank you very much this is very helpfull i hope u do more videos for us if u do we will realy apreaciate it

[LuxeBrunette]

I always watched your videos and then I stopped doing math for about a year but I'm doing it again and was freakingggg then I remembered you and VOILA!

Me=happy ^_^!!!!

[djeywitee]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH....my geometry is teaching geometry for the first time and she does NOT explain anythin in depth, THANK YOU

[jen15grl]

thank you for helping us !

[phatjuicybootie8732]

love your videos !

[andreamarie321]

Thanks! XD

[MoonshineProduction1]

become a teahcer

[XxnegativewalkerxX]

what a coinsidence, my mathbook has that very same problem hahah

[EvanescentWoodNymph]

Wow. It's as if I will never have to listen to my shrill, incompetent algebra teacher again. Huzzah for the internet! (Yea!!!)

[018cutie018]

- thank u so much :D

[PriPriBloggie]

Thank you so much!! I have THE most retarded algebra teacher ever (I'm in seventh grade) and she sucks. I never pay attention in class because all she does is talk crap but when I come home, I type in whatever we learned today and get the lesson from YOU!! THANKS!

[ronaldblx12]

thanks

[MrGermancarlover]

thanx alot bro

[SMMSkid33]

Wow... Whether I had just forgotten the simplicity of this formula or I had never learned it, this video dusted off the cobwebs. Thank you!

[iissarahusa]

I love this formula.

[movieboy71]

thank you so much... i finally get this now !

[wiilampphone]

Really helpful.. Thanks!

[23kbforever]

i have a question, it says to find the distance to the nearest tenth of a foot and the horizontal measure is 6ft and the vertical is 12 ft, can you help?

[CJMilsey]

@23kbforever I don't mean to chime, but your question is to do with rounding, A^2+B^2 = C^2, so

C^2 = 180

C = 180^.5

C = 13.4 (rounded to one tenth of a foot.)

[acpres2]

thanks ur a gud teacher

[jpizzel272]

yea imma freshman in geometry and i was freaking out man until my moms told me to go on youtube and check the videos that helped her on problems like these thx man

[patrickJMT]

@jpizzel272 you are very welcome

[Coolboy529]

@jpizzel272 mumS!?

[USAirwaysPilotA330]

I just learned this in geometry today. Very easy but I tend to review my work/lesson by looking at these videos to see if I can....broaden my knowledge about the lesson/concept. Thanks for uploading!

[TheFabulousNothing]

Are you sure you don't have it backwards?!? I mean, 2 would be x1 and 3 would x2, and have 7 be Y1 and 9 be Y2?!? That's how I was taught! D:

[eraf]

@TheFabulousNothing you can use either one as x1 or x2, it will be the same slope. If you think about it graphically I think you'll get it more than mathematically, that you'll have the same slope. And what is x1 vs. what is x2 is arbitrarily chosen.

[crystallovesvamps1]

thank you sooo much for uploading this!! i jus started school today and i didnt get this. it helped me soo much!!!!

[wnndpooh]

why did you leave the answer under the square root sign instead of just 8

[alchemist109]

what if one of those numbers were a negative? what would you do?

[yashara21]

Again thank you soo much

[MrBeefTip]

Thanks!

[serb345]

hey man, thanks for posting this Video it helped HEAPS! haha :) thanks man :)

[dargonmansonic]

your epic thank you so much :)

[sliver818]

Thanks for all the vids Patrick. Great job!

[celloluva123]

wow this helped A LOT

[patrickJMT]

perfect!

[sheltykiss]

@patrickJMT Your videos are super helpful!!! I am studying for GMAT, and found that you are the best free video resource available! GMAT math is high school math concepts, but GMAT math prep courses (on-line or live) will charge you $299 and up to cover what you explaine for free. THANK YOU!!!

[patrickJMT]

@sheltykiss free is better! : )

[annyomg123]

thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[videodude2010]

ok the answer was 61 square..so can i just leave it like that or do i have to actually square it?

[vdavis2010]

You leave it like that unless it is a perfect square.

[serb345]

@videodude2010 61 wasn't squared its just the square root of 61 and just leave it as the Square Root of 61 :)

[carranzapz]

thank you so much for doing these things

[latinproject0021]

What if you have a distance formula question and they tell you the distance, but one of the points is an x? Like, for example: (x, 7) and (2,3) d=5. I have a question like that, and I got really lost!

[patrickJMT]

well, you fill in what you know into the formula...

but now you have to work backwards to find x!

you would start by squaring both sides, and then you would have a quadratic equation to solve.

[thedrunkpianist]

great lesson! thank you :-}

[vernondudley]

"okay, in this video i want to talk aboout..."

cant believe how many times i've heard this.

keep those math videos coming. they've been really helpful.

[samisealo]

Ah i thought this was going to be about the kinematic formulai (the whole s = ut + 1/2at² and s = 1/2t(u + v) being the distance thingys lol) Would be cool if you did a video showing how we get the kinematic formulai =).

I just did my FSMQ test and there was a couple of questions where i had to use the formula in the video. FUN! =)

[timar03]

i really like it that you explain how to get to the formula it really helps understanding it and when you know how to get to the formula you dont really have to learn it because you can always make it yourself. i like to know how the formula was made.

thanks

[lostindisillusion]

omg every time i reload my homepage, there's a different new video from you! this is INSANE how are you doing that?!?!? haha

[rctriplefresh5]

lol

[dillon4321]

damn i messed up on my calc exam on a distance question...lol

[Rapidfonz]

math is an art.

i love it

[7DavidKim]

you're married^_^.

[patrickJMT]

to an amazingly wonderful person : )

[krajikevin]

clever

[mostythemosty1]

the 1st to c it and comment...2 thumbs up

[patrickJMT]

thanks : )
