  • Thank you so much![:

    It's amazing how so many people just give up in classes because they don't understand.

    Whether I have missed a class, was not paying attention, or just didn't understand, I always come on youtube and search.

    Helped me alot! Thanks again[:

  • thanks for saving my butt for my test in 15 mins! YOUR MY HERO!

  • What my teacher taught me as far as the P(-x) and finding the number of times the sign changes is you can just look at the odd exponents like 2x^5 and -3x and change their signs, so it would me -2x^5 and 3x. But over all this video explained this concept better than my teacher. thank you :)

  • Hey, you're left-handed like me! :D

    Thanks for the vid!

  • thank so much sir!!

  • Hmm, I think I can apply that basic concept to finding the nature of the roots, however there's only 1 sign change which is at the front of the first variable.

  • Thanks OTL you are more helpful than my teacher who loves to shortcut her lessons based on a bunch of books.
