  • 2:13 I can't understand why you got 6x and 3 as the exponent.

  • @heyyou417 @heyyou417 We're looking at the numbers and letters (variables) separately.

    6 is the largest common factor of 6, 30, and 12.

    x^3 (x with an exponent 3) is the common factor for x^5, x^4, and x^3.

    So you end up with 6 and x^3, or 6x^3.

  • I'm in the 11th grade. I have been in 3 different schools in the past 3 years. I have NEVER understood math and have always gotten an F because i find it hard to focus. So today, i decided to start over and stop slacking and focus and thanks to you i was able to ace my math assignment for the first time in YEARS. I am sooooooo excited & I feel incredibly proud of myself . I also think i might actually enjoy math =D thank you sooo much!

  • @CheoitzAza Absolutely thrilled to hear it! Thrilled.

  • Excellent, understandable presentation. Thank you! I'm in college now, after 20 years away, and dusting off the dust and rust. :) Doing good so far, but I get stuck on occassion when factoring polynomials. I still question myself as to whether something can be factored even further. Some of the examples presented left me wondering if they could be further factored. I'll be a master eventually, witth your added help!

  • @jdSLider5 If you have questions about specific examples, go ahead and post it. We'll see what we can do.

  • @TheCoolMathGuy Thank you.

  • can u solve x^2+7x=0

    a quadratic equation

  • @SophiaMaria023 You have to be more specific with your question. Do you mean when you are dealing with the same exponent across the board?
