  • can u help me with this problem y=x2 -6x + 10

  • very helpful

    

  • this video  was very helpful

  • Comment removed

  • how do you find a quadratic equation if you're just given 1 point of the parabola, but you also know the axis of symmetry is 0, thus it's like a mirror, so i guess you know 2 points

    i need help soon

  • When you have the graph how you cand find the equation? I mean the other way around...

  • I hate my math teacher, she doesnt explain anything, n i think sometimes she forgets some stuff, n the same day she gives us like 2 worksheets including hw

  • why is this so hard to learn in class?

  • god damn i hate my pothead retarded math teacher who doesnt do shit

  • wow!

  • Thank you so much! I dont know why my teacher couldnt just do this!

  • have respect for teachers.

    Just saying#

  • Cool:)

  • Does he know that the marker isn't erasable?

  • i dont understand why these stupid algebra teachers spend all this time trying to teach us these fancy ways of learning this simple concept, when we could just use this approach. they honestly make things so much more compicated and make people such as myself feel like dumbasses. well on this test tomorrow i am going to show this "teacher" what the fuck is up.

  • f(x)= -3x{2exponent) +6x+4

    how do i find X-intercepts

    please help

  • this is very helpful thank you

  • He's my Algebra teacher! Awesome work Mr. Whitaker!

  • I Should Have Taken College Algebra Online With Help From Youtube.

    Could Have Saved GASSSSS

  • @MarcWhitaker is x^2+6x+9=y

    the same as f(x)=x^2+6x+9

    ?

  • @Mplitsch1 my alg 2 teacher told me its the exact same thing as "y" :)

  • @Mplitsch1 yes

  • @Austincb40 couldnt agree more my maths teacher cant even speak english its so frustrating

  • @XxgasmedxX I just barelly entered eigth grade and i'm learning this!

  • The way you set up the chart to find the x and the y is kinda confusing . It won't always work out that well . For example mid line point is -1 if I do it your way it won't work out that evenly . What do I do ?!

  • I'm leaning this in grade 10 and i'm finding it really easy.

  • thank you so much.

  • this is more easier ...

    ^_^

  • very nicely explained. simple yet very thorough.

  • this helped me alot. thank you marcwhitaker.

  • nice

  • y do i feel like i learn more from u than i do from my teacher?

  • hey that is hillsdale i went there like 4 years ago =)

  • the school in the beginning looks like my middle school lol

  • quick tip: at 4:49 when he said that when the other side is going to be symmetric or whatever I have a better tip when you find one point like the -4,-3 its one square from the line of symmetry so if you go the opposite side and count over one starting on the line and go one right that's your other point and this works for all your point except for the line of symmetry. hope this cuts some of your time.

  • sweet i love u. im watching this the morning of my big math test and i love u

  • push "2" or "8" for 666 evil black math!

  • i finally understand this! thank you!!!

  • How Much Problems can a dude and a marker solve? ALOT!!!

  • I never thought i could love another man as much as I now love you

  • holy your drawing is better than mine i was even using the smooth curve :o

  • greattt videooo :))))

  • ur great just got me A on my test

  • so i just realized hes left handed after like 7 minutes ;)

  • Ure the best man, thank u very much I'm actually understanding quadratic equation for the first time

  • tank you so much. i actually learned. so i stayed up until like 2 in the morning trying to remember and using all my notes but then i just looked for a video and your video was awesome, i could actually do a problem now (: your video helped me a lot. you are incredibly A W E S O M E :D

  • Thank you sooooo much!!!!

  • Thank You! I finally understand how to do these kinds of problems.

    Also, my mom wishes your tutorial had existed in her day :)

  • Great video! Teached me what was taking me hours to understand in 9 minutes! You rock dude xD

  • Wow, thank you, this really helped me for the test I have in math in about 3 hours. You taught a lot better than my teacher, who is in fact not a bad teacher, but even did a better job. Thank you. Please make more videos.

  • thank you for making an hour lesson that i didn't hav a clue about understandable in a little more than 9 minute video...my teacher cant teach, thank goodness i hav youtube to do the teaching for her :D

  • this is amazing thank you so much i spent hours trying to learn this then bang i get it in 5 mins

  • You are very good.

  • LEFTIES RULE MAN

    and i learned everything with you in ten while it has taken my school over a month

    u should be the best human teacher of all time in the universes of the galaxy

  • LEFTIES RULE MAN

    and u teached me this correctly

  • You know somethings wrong with the school system, when a online teacher can teach me better in 9 minutes than 1 hour of a fat Algebra teacher -.-

  • @Austincb40 does everybody have a fat math teacher cuz i do

  • @Austincb40 iam sayin

  • @Austincb40 A M E N !

  • U dont have to do the data table if the a=1 all u do is find those 2 points plot it then go up 1 over 1 plot it then over 1 up 3 then over 1 up 5 and so on. Abd do the same for the other side

  • whats the common solution to the equations

  • Even tho it helps to have other points but once you get your opposite point you get your perfect parabola without the extra work

  • What else you can do is plug the X from that equation to your first equation. That way you are getting the Y.

  • You are wayyyyyyy better then my teacher!!!!

  • yay for youtube allowing me to learn and prosper bettter than in class thank you for helping me learn youtube

  • yay for youtube allowing me to learn and prosper bettter than in class

  • This guy is going right at my own pace of learning math. My math teacher likes to just zip through the lesson as fast as they can.

  • Thank Youtube for finding me a better math teacher than my own !

  • im sorry but youtube is better than my teacher

  • haha i am left handed and i suck at math, oh and yeah youtube way easier to understnad than some of my teachers.

  • youtube is better than my teacher.....

  • IM lefthanded..xD and,..well i was very awesoem in maths...but i kinda went down in school over the years..:) ..im suck now xD

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes Lefthand=Rightbrain :P

  • well how about x to the second power -3=6

  • Thank you

  • how do you graph y=-3xsquared+18x

  • i dont get one thing when you have all the coeficents how did you get negative b over 2a. did you change the posative into a negative? and since b = 6 it became a -6?

  • kiss me

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes actually, the left side of your body is controlled by the right side of your brain, and generally when the right side of the brain is dominant, it means that you are creative and good at thinking abstractly, so I think it's a little strange that the math tutors would be left handed...

  • Thank you very much!!! May God Bless You!!!

  • Algebra 2 teacher spent 4 weeks trying to explain this and i just figured it out in 9 and a half minutes.

  • You just taught me better than my teacher. Thank you.

  • Thank you thank you thank you! I was searching for the easiest way to do these equations and I found it!

  • thanks so much! my teacher explained this like ten times and it made no sense. i have a test in 2 days so u were REALLY helpful!

  • thank you so much you teach better than my teacher

  • OMG TYVM!!!!!

  • Thank you for your help. Big exam tomorrow and I feel prepared.

  • this may be kinda embarrasing for me to say but I'm a college student and this video has helped me out in prep for my exam tomorrow.

  • I would usually never comment on any video, however I seriously appreciate your help. Thanks

  • thank u :)

  • @Divinecm ..im not one of them:)) im left handed but im having hard time in math:((

  • wow man this helped me more than my day school teacher lol

  • i get everything apart from these I find them impossible

  • graph is the easiest way to me..

  • thank you sir..YOU SAVE MY LIFE!! you're really specific :) add more!! MY TEACHERS SUCK!!!

  • wow, totally helpful! i have a math final tomorrow and don't understand any of it..but this really helped, thank you!

  • That was very helpful, thanks!

  • I Missed This Lesson at my school because I was on school function

    and my teacher said we have a test and i didn't understand ANYTHING!!

    But now that i watched this video I got the hang of it

    THANK YOU :)

  • Yay for youtube teaching me better than my school

  • Thank you very much , it helped me quite alot.

  • i love you math man. you saved ma nuts

  • thank you so much~

  • This tutor is great. :D

  • oh thank gudness, i was gonna have a quiz 2day-but my algebra teacher's really wack-so boring, i slept in her class

  • thanks i think i get it

  • Thanks! It really helped, because I transfered to a Charter, they were much farther than my other school, thus I missed two units, and my Charter teacher decided to be stupid and set me back one grade of math if I did not understand this.

  • I'm having a hard time with graphing f(x) = -x^2-1

  • @TotallyTyra axis of symmetry is at zero since b=0

    they you just plug in points like -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3 and graph

  • Thanks for uploading this. I have an Algebra 2 quiz tomorrow and I was feeling a little confused about this. I get the idea, and the basics, but I never seem to get the right answers. It probably doesn't help that my teacher always gives us problems where the X and Y of the vertex are fractions either!!

  • Thanks for the video. it really helped me on this stuff

  • Thanks so much! My teacher was making this so much more confusing than it actually needs to be.

  • i really need help. i have a math test soon & my teacher asks us to find the cordinates of the turning point , i dont get what she means by that. someone help me ASAP! please :D

  • thanks alot for this vid it helped me alot thanks

  • Hey Thanks for making these videos, its making my math class a lot easier -_- lol

  • no man i am left handed and i got nothing to do with math !!

  • this is confusin because my teacher did it different

  • This made me so understand a lot! My teacher mentioned this and i watched this. I am so ready for this upcoming quiz on this!

  • isnt this alos possible using:

    delta = b^2 - 5(a)(c)?

  • close, b^2 - 4(a)(c)

    :)

  • whoops :P thanks i was typing like a nut

  • ty.

  • where did u get the x and y's from??

  • for the x, he chose a number higher and lower than the first x and the y is what he got after he subbed x into the equation

  • Thanks for the tutorial. helped me get caught up in Alg II class.

  • thank you so much i could not find the x and y plots at the end. thanks a bunch

  • oh my god that you so much! I've been blowing off graphing because I always found it so hard.

    I totally understand this now! You are a life saver!

    --Liz

  • Omg!! I thank you soo much! I had a sub for my alegbra teacher the day they were teaching this and he did not know what he was doing!!!

  • man I wish I found this during high school

  • i learned more from this video for my IB math studies class than i have learned in a week from my teacher, thank you so much!

  • I'd have to say this is the best video I've found today. How can my teacher make it look so hard. This is not rocket science, although it IS challenging. Took my a million years to finally understand a bit. But thank you very much for posting this video, and this is definitely the best way to do this without sticking your eyeballs out. (:

  • I actually understand thank-you so much !

  • thankss, you helped alot...

    im just a bit confused in the begiining you did that line of semetry x=-3

    yeah i dont understand how you did that, and what that means or anything :S

  • THANK YOU SOO MUCHH!!

     best treacher ever i now understand :)

    im going to pass ma exam

  • I must commend you on your excellent, clear, and well-paced lesson. Your teaching tone was very inviting to learning. Keep up the stellar lesson display, my friend.

  • Thank You

  • lol that is wrong, the axis of symmetry it 3

    (x+5)(x+1)=x^2+6x+5

  • -3. way to be a genius

  • @Destiny198 how stupid

  • Isn't it funny how a lot of these math video tutors are left handed ? Left brain = math genius ??

  • my math teachers left handed : o

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes HECK YA! LEFTYS ROCK!

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes maybe thats why! lol

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes The right side of the brain controls the left hand. :P

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes left hand is controlled by the right side of your brain.. and if thats true what does that make people who are ambidextrous ? :P

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes yeah! I've also noticed that many left-handed people are math genius! :))

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes actually, it would be right brain=math genius, since the brain is crossed wired

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes right side of your brain controls left side of the body

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes isnt it funny how ur right brain controls the left side of ur body not ur left brain and wat u just said is completely false ?

  • @blahblahblaha1a2a3 or it was a one word mistake...

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes Exactly! I'm left handed and I'm great at math!

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes lol your left brain = math genious made me look it up, I am seriously one right brained muther ufcker a risk taking future thinking impetuous fantacy based person and although I love and quickly understand most math, there is some that just seem like black magic to me. like the fact that need a number just take the square root of the sum of the squares boom you got a number, and it freeking works, thats some voodoo shit right there!!!

  • @fourluckyhorseshoes dude they are not left handed its the camera refracting

  • This made so much sense! Now I am confused on how to read the graph if it is already made? Math is over my head a bit.

  • Need help! Book and Teacher want me to Usea graph to estimate the solution of the equation. I don't understand!!! No Good Examples in book. Teache isnt helping!

  • OMG THANK YOU SO MCUH!!!!! completing the square like my teacher explained is SO confusing

  • Wow, this actually really helped! thanks alot =)) 5*s

  • you should complete the square and put the equation in vertex form.

    it's easier.

    good explanation though.

  • completing the square confuses the heck out of me

  • Thank u soo much!!!

  • Thank you sooo much!! :D

  • got lost when u said the numbers will be the same??? i got this test tomorrow sept. 10. 2009 i need this help

  • thanks for the help

  • Omg, thanks first vid that helped me understand this!

  • Hey thanks a lot for this! I'm in 8th grade and I have finals tomorrow, and now I understand this much better.

  • Woah, we learn this in 11th grade.

  • hey my teacher said that after getting the result of X, I have to take to more numbers after the the result of X and two numbers before the result the X to make the table, as a result to make the graphic great... is that true?

  • Nice explaining, my math teacher doesn't even know what she talks about.

  • Same my teacher talks too much *****

    He doesn't care what the students

    learn he just explain and that is.

  • Thank you very much you helped me a lot. My math teacher doesn't have time to explain me this kind of stuff because another student takes up all of the lesson. Because she thinks she is so imported so the rest of the class doesn't get any help from the teacher.

  • lol thnks. my math teacher can't explain for shit.

  • hahah same watsup ravi its jon

  • my math teacher taght me a whole different way, I had finals and never finished now i know how to do these!!!! thank you sooooooo much!

  • does any1 know what to do when x becomes 1/2

  • I LOVE YOU! My math teacher sucks at teaching and we have a test tomorrow. I finally get this now!!!!! :D Thank you so much!!

  • great help

  • thanks :] i didnt know that you could find the vertex with -b/2a

  • yeah i just got an a- on this on my test. whoo

  • Thank you very much. Im in 7th grade in Gradeschool and I had very much trouble with all of the equations. Im in the advanced math class and I think that I shouldn't be in, since I don't understand problems like this one. Whenever I would ask my teacher to help, he would be his own self and yell the living hell out of me. Thanks to this video, me and my mom aren't stuck anymore.

  • thank you!!!no summer school 4 me!!!(hopefully)haaha but seriously thanx soooo much!!
