@TheLamborghini9999 happy to help, brother

[seb43654]

u have made completing the square look so easy!thanks for the help i now understand it much better. my teach explained it a very confusing way of getting a remainder or something. If you show me an organized procedure of how to do it though, i can remember the procedure and do it right nearly every time!

[patrickJMT]

@seb43654 glad i could help you out : )

Your videos are really helpful but I think you should invest in a white board.

[TheDuskMar]

You should do an example about when to factor, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula.

[CrysHBIC]

@DemonHumon666 a negative over a negative is a positive

[DemonHumon666]

D: I'm going to look stupid but you lost me when you made -2/-5 a positive 2/5... How did that happen?

[ThinkPinkMusic]

@selistar1000 multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing something by 2. But, dividing something by 1/2 is a completely different thing. In that case, you take the reciprocal of 1/2, which is 2 and multiply by the number given.

- 4 x 1/2 = 2 but 4 divided by 1/2 = 4 x 2 = 8

@Crepto95 that is too bad : (

[Crepto95]

Wish u could replace my teacher, he misses allot. :(

[desaimaa]

This is great, but it'd be easier if you weren't a leftie...makes it hard to see what you're writing when your hand covers it :(

[fireinsideofme]

[milkeatscereal]

[sourpatchkid3]

great! so helpful. thank you! i liked how you used different colors it helped

[selistar1000]

@patrickJMT hii =) i have a question... i don t understand why you say to take one half of the fraction and you multiply... isnt it supposed to divide??? i mean is not only what you say, this is how it is, but I cant really get it.

[DestinyAIM]
