thank you for this. I am trying to teach myself math completely on my own and never made it past algebra 1 in high school (undiagnosed dyscalculia caused me to think i was stupid and give up), but I’m aiming to learn higher level mathematics. I am learning so much from online tutorials, thank you for contributing to helping me on my journey

Found this just now (2021)and oh boy did it finally make sense. Thanks for leaving these up.

Sir? Its always good to put the additive in denomination just to balance it? See in 50-55 sec.

[thomasklugh]

I always seem to have a problem understanding this.
My issue is, I never see two methods, only one method but approaching it two different ways. Please, help me with this conundrum?
Thanks.

Can you please show me how to solve this: t(-1) [superscript-1] - 1, over 1 - t(-2) [superscript-2]

[Unidentifying]

Awesome!! I have a suggestion sir, maybe you can do a video about factoring a complicated polynomial. From time to time I see some factoring in my math book that is hard for me to see, like : 2p² + (√3 +2)p + √3 ---> (2p+√3)(p+1)

[nicholasharrison]

I dont understand the (x+2)(x-2) at 0:50. How come all of the x-2 and x+2 dont cancel out to equal 0?
