I am struggling with college algebra math, I had always had issues with math growing up. I am pleased with how easy you make the math. I haven't been studying because I don't understand it but watching your videos is making it a lot easier to understand the basic maths and a lot easier for me understand!!! Thank you.

Saves so much effort honestly, this is so much easier than doing the factorising with brackets. Just started doing A-level maths and just couldn't get my head around the bracket method until now so thank you.
So grateful I found this video before my test on Monday. Sometimes learning a different method really works. I have no idea where this video was when I needed it the first time but I’m glad I didn’t give up. Thank you so much for this.
@@naheemahakinwale8403 Exactly! I'd have liked him to explain why it works. Now I will have to figure it out for myself. I love these short-cuts. When I was young, I had a book full of them. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to that book or what it was called.
no. in the quadratic you have to do a square root. Here you don't. You do only factoring and addition/subtraction. This is why it is easier... at least when the results aren't great zonking multi-digit decimals. I learned squares up to 14, but not to 17. So if you don't know that 17 squared is 289 (the discriminant) then you really would have to solve for the square root, which is a nuisance unless you know the shortcut for that...
This is great stuff. I'm tutoring my daughter with GCSE maths and we've been kicking algebra's arse, however, we're coming up to this section in the book and I was getting a bit anxious!
This is so much better than the distribution/bracket method that my textbook is telling me to use, but then again distribution has always required some mental gymnastics for me. Thanks for simplifying it!!
Factoring gets taught and it takes entire classes to learn, when this easy trick is sitting right here. I wish schools would just teach this. Thank you so much!
In my 57 years of working with math I never seen this approach in solving the quadratic form. Just wondering how he came about this approach. Thank you.
@@jamieparke8235 not necessarily if he's working with math for 57 years he definitely knows how to do it but to most mathematical problems there are several approaches he simply stated he had not seen this one
Tecmath! I used to watch your channel when I was homeschooling(7 years ago) You helped HUGELY. Now here I am studying Electrical Engineering, back on the channel refreshing the Tecmath Solving Solutions. I highly recommend this channel to anyone.
straight to the point in 2:19 seconds, no waffle or rubbish to wade through for 9 minutes full of self-promotion! What a relief! You have my like, comment and subscription just for that. Short and sweet, Thanks!!!!!!! (also sending a link for this around my class whatsapp group :) )
Hey there Tecmath m8! Your videos are fantastic and you have renewed my love of mathematics. Got a request if it’s possible, can you do a video on solving word problems under a minute or so? That would be awesome!!! Cheers m8! 👍🏻
Indeed I agree, the method being taught here seems very much like a mnemonic method of memorizing how to solve any quadratic equation. For some it may help, for others, actually breaking the problem down and showing the work may be more beneficial.
Cheers man - much better than almost every maths teacher I ever had. Starting to learn, quite vividly, that I’m not as bad at maths as I was once led to believe
Thank you so much! I've been trying to understand this topic for so long and you helped me out alot. Really easy to understand and follow as well as good examples!!
u saved my life i really struggle with factorising although im doing my alevels now and non of my teachers gave me another method that works for me and doesnt take long thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu😁
There's another way to do it 6x^2-x-2=0 First, you turn the -x into two numbers with x as a coefficient. 6x^2-4x+3x-2=0 We split it up into this because if we factorize it, the numbers in the brackets will be the same. 2x(3x-2)+1(3x-2)=0 Then you take one of the brackets and multiply it with the numbers that are being multipled by the bracket. (3x-2)(2x+1)=0. There are two solutions. To find both of them, just take one bracket with numbers and variables and that should equal to 0.(Take away the brackets cause they are not needed). So, 3x-2=0 or 2x+1=0 3x=2 2x=-1 x=2/3 x=-1/2 This is just another way of doing it.
@@divyoroy9056, Tecmath's 'way' is actually the same, we guess, as yours, but he (she) jumps it by a couple of fast tricks, without showing that the way is a right one, without showing that the results are really the roots of the thing. Your way shows up more mathematical, walking step by step and proving the rightness of each one. And so did our teacher, and did we, on school (continental Europe) years ago. Know what you are doing, prove your readers and yourself that it's right in any step, that's the beauty of algebra. We still prefer your way, that is, your way of taking logical steps. A little more ink or chalk, and then so totally clear!
Jesus I was rushing to study for my mid years exams and I thought I was gonna fail, I learnt everything that have been taught from the start of the year in 1 hour in your channel .-. i love u dude
Mia Hayes no school math has reasoning to why ur doing something like u can figure out a problem that u don’t know how to solve but this is all memorization
@@tomaliafern4219 It's that it is only memorizing, but the purpose of "tricks" like this one is for doing things quicker. If you want to know why it's like that, you can try and prove it, an exercise for your brain. But once you're sure it works (either from proving it or because of trusting this channel, which i personally recommend), it just makes your tasks suddenly much quicker to do.
I'm a mathematician and high school math teacher and I endorse this video. To the critics, how many of you do difference of squares all the way out? Or do square roots by hand instead of using a calculator? Do you use the standard paper and pencil way of dividing? THat's a trick too, as is multiplication of two digits by two digits that we were all taught. Sometimes the understanding comes much later or is irrelevant.
That's what you're meant to do. Factorising is a just method among others e.g Quadratic Formula or Completing the square. If you continue this question to graphing, those two values for x would become the x-intercepts for the parabola.
This video is good a lot of problems with most of these videos is they explain what you're supposed to do but they don't explain why you cannot go this in that way. That's what will prevent mistakes if you know what not to do as well
To factor it, all you have to do is take each solution and rearrange it to make it equal to 0 e.g. x=2/3 => 3x=2 => 3x-2=0 x=-1/2 => 2x=-1 => 2x+1=0 So 6x^2 - x - 2 = (3x-2)(2x+1)
I’m sorry but I watched Thai 5 times in slow speed i don’t understand, why are you tuning all things negative into positive that wasn’t explained at all.
thank you so much for this. I have always learnt a very long and complicated way that always lead to mistakes and more time taken to factorize. Great video!!
if you think really hard about it, maybe people who have just begun learning this stuff, or don't have a good teacher, or have already forgotten some of it, might not know this
Rather than all that sign-switching jiggery-pokery, it is much safer just to use basic maths: 2xx + 8x - x - 4 = 0 => 2x(x+4) -1(x+4) = 0 => (2x-1)(x+4) = 0. The brackets in the middle step will always match. This was the method I learned as a teenager and it served me well all the way through uni, post grad and beyond.

U are awesome thank god for u!!!👍💙
Old but gold the literal only one I understand on this topic keep it up maya 💯💯💯
come back to this a million times
There's another way to do it
6x^2-x-2=0
First, you turn the -x into two numbers with x as a coefficient.
6x^2-4x+3x-2=0
We split it up into this because if we factorize it, the numbers in the brackets will be the same.
2x(3x-2)+1(3x-2)=0

(3x-2)(2x+1)=0.
There are two solutions. To find both of them, just take one bracket with numbers and variables and that should equal to 0.(Take away the brackets cause they are not needed).
So,
3x-2=0 or 2x+1=0
3x=2 2x=-1
x=2/3 x=-1/2

You didn't actually factor the equations, you just solved for x.

That's what you're meant to do. Factorising is a just method among others e.g Quadratic Formula or Completing the square. If you continue this question to graphing, those two values for x would become the x-intercepts for the parabola.
