  • This video is should be further in the list because you haven't explained the concepts of fuction and parabola.

  • "Something about mathematicians ego's prevents them from writing a layman friendly math book."

    got that right for sure

    i was just checking out some these khan academy videos and they are great and easy to understand

    i could've have had an A+ if i had found these earlier

  • I've been trying to learn how to factor for several weeks.

    I just learned how in nine minutes.

  • better than my teacher

  • okay if X=-2 and X=-4 why the parabola is on the right side???

  • my algebra 2 teacher is a poser. YOU ARE MY MATH TEACHER!!

  • little kid: MOMMY! Can i go beat up 8 people?

    mom: DEPENDS... whose on your side?

    little kid: I have 127 people on my side...

    mom: why do you wanna beat up these people?

    little kid: BECAUSE THEY DISLIKED AN INGENIOUS VIDEO. *shows this khan academy video*

    mom: if you told me that in the first time you could beat those people up ANYTIME you want!

    THE END

  • Wow. All these years, through high school and everything, I never understood factoring because they constantly explained it in an overly complicated manner. But this video actually made it all easy to understand. Amazing job, thank you!

  • Nevermind. Just noticed that my equation had a coeffecient on the x^2 term. Sorry for wasting comment space with my oversight.

  • I'm sure this is going to sound extremely foolish, but does anyone know any way to factor a quadratic with a 1 as the constant? Its status as the only single-factor number seems to mess up this process.

  • im using discriminant formula its more simpler
