Thanks man if it wasn't for you I would be failing pre-calc!! Why are you so smart??? I'm jealous

[patrickJMT]

@Noni136631 i worked my ass off. people seem to think that i was just born with all of this knowledge : ) it did not quite happen that way though. WORK PEOPLE, IT IS CAUSE OF HARD WORK!!!

What would you do if the x to the fourth, would have had a coefficient?

[patrickJMT]

@TigersEatEmos i would have used it, instead of a 1

[rizalmafia06]

how to add 0 ? i mean where all the 0's came from? how will i know if im going to put them o my gosh, im dying now

[patrickJMT]

@rizalmafia06 i have no idea what you are trying to say

[jono1478]

This is a WAY better way then my math teacher was trying to teach it!

[zanderg11]

what if I'm dividing by 3b-2?

[TheJoker2357]

thqank you soooo much dude also if you could post something about why it works because my teacher wants a description of it. my email is isikaku24@yahoo.com thanks

[Champerbutt]

@patrickJMT i think they are trying to say. where did the 0 come from? when u took 0x^3 and brought down the zero. without seeing a previous video it was a bit confusing at first but after i saw ur long division video it made sense.

[Gunnerbudde3]

wat if the denominator of the fraction is say (x+3)-(x+5)? how wud u do the division then?

[ShankOcarinas]

Thanks for the help!

[chapinero017]

how do u find a factor for ur 3rd or more degree equation if its not given? so the remainders = 0

[CarlosEnrique408]

@rizalmafia06 if its like x^4 + x^2 + x you put the zeroes where the missing x to the wwhatever powers would be. Since you dont have X^3 or a constant(the number by itself with no x) you put zeroes there. so it would be 1 + (no x^3 = 0) 0 + 1 + 0 (since there is no number after the last x with no power(^)). thats when you put the zeroes. @patrickjmt am i right?

THANK YOU OH MY GOSH YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN!

I CANT GET MY PERMIT UNTIL I HAVE A DECENT GRADE IN MATH I THINK I JUST FOUND MY NEW TUTOR :)

GOD BLESS YOU<3
