  • Nice.

    But at 0:04, it should be "equation", not "function".

    And at 0:11, the lower anotation, you say you take the half of bx/a, but you actually take the half of b/a.

  • @TyYann thanks for letting me know. It would be function if it was f(x) = ax^2 + bx +c but since it's ax^2 + bx + c = 0 it's an equation.

  • @math314 You got it!

  • @TyYann thanks. also i noticed at 0:12 i put quadratic equation

  • i understood none of that but it made me happy :)

  • @v00per yeah I'm about to add annotations with explanations so that it hopefully makes more sense. I'm glad it made you happy :)

see all

  • we learned quadratic formula in algebra, last year when i was 12. of course i didn't understand it so i just went with the flow and used it to find the X intercepts of my parabola. this video helped me understand how it was derived...

  • this is like one week of math class condensed into 46 seconds

  • Very good video ! it helped me a lot !

  • @koolkidds69skateteam in algebra 2 you learn completing the square but you won't have to prove the quadratic formula. Your teacher might derive the quadratic formula to show when completing the square can be used.

  • I'm doing this right now. Hard. Espcially when "i" comes into play. Who ever heard of a fake number?
