  • what if the numbers within the parenthesis do not match?

    EXAMPLE: 2x(1x+2)+3(1x+2+3)

  • @VideoGameCowGirl then factoring by grouping does not work

  • Omfg I love you! I forgot this and when I came to your video you helped me remember what to do, thanks!! :)

  • @MaketheMusicFasion glad i could help : )

  • I had a quiz the other day and it had the question 4x^2+2x+9. I tried to use factoring by grouping but I couldn't find factors of 36 that added up to 2. How would I factor this??

  • @babylamb21 if you use the discriminant ( b^2 - 4ac ) you will see that it does not factor.

  • @omshark900 well, the last two terms of that just cancel out... leaving x^2 - 4x when u just factor out the 'x'

  • What is : 8a^2 - 4ab +6ac-3bc ??? plz help

  • I love you for posting this.

  • Patrick thanks for your videos. I am a bit rusty on my algebra and I have been reviewing things lately. I am curious as to why the method you used to solve 2x^2 + 5x + 2 works. Particularly, I am wondering why multiplying the two extreme coefficients gives you the clue for how to break up the middle term.

  • Thnx bro , I always had trouble doing Quads. But you helped me ease it out.

  • @bchisenhall thank you that explained my confusion!

  • i get everything but the end, why is it x = -1/2 and x = -2 ???

  • wow i've watched many of your videos and i noticed you are left handed
