It's kind of sad to see how I can understand more out of a 2-minute-43-second video compared to a 1-hour class. Thank you very much for this! Now I can do my homework.

No shade to other math YouTubers but yours helped most cause you did the quick table of values, which others didn't, and it was HELPFUL. IT certainly cleared up many doubts since most didn't bother, and they'll only mention to move left and right 4 units, etc. accordingly. Thank you :)

I learned more in this 3 minutes than the almost 30 on Algebra Nation. Thanks!

[akashayaqub]

I understand the video for the most part and it helped a lot! One thing I don't quite understand is that the 1 was not ignored, yet the 3 was when the table was being made. Was the 1 supposed to be a part of the equation as it was shown (squared)? I really appreciate your videos!

[Chatisthisfactual]

Thank you, you explain it better than my math teacher

[samanthacalva]

I have a question. What do you do if you don't have a K or an A in this case the problem would be y=(x-3)^2? Would you just replace the K with 0 and ignore the A.

Great video! Very helpful thank you so much
