I think you made a minor mistake with the first one when you multiply the negative with x and +2 wouldn’t the end result be x+1-x-2?
@nihan420

Yeah, as x+1-(x+2) is the same as x+1-1(x+2) and if you take away the parentheses + becomes - , resulting into x+1-x-2

Hello Brian, thanks a lot for making this video. When you factored out -2x^2 + 3x - 1 with the negative sign, you forgot to write the ^2 on 2x. You wrote -(2x + 3x -1). It’s -(2x^2+3x-1).
You explain the steps a lot better than my professor. Everything that is confusing, you make it seem really easy to understand.

Gosh, I couldn't help but watch this. I need to learn to solve these rational equations and inequalities for my upcoming midterm.
I'm convinced it's better to just multiply the denominators and simplify from there. LCD just isn't worth it when it comes to complex rational expressions. You'll get the same end result (remember to simplify) and suffer less of a headache.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Because i have homework about add and sub and it worked
Did anyone else notice in the first one he didnt end up changing the +2 to a -2 immediately after point it out lo. I think the answer is -1/x-1 I'm sure that can be really confusing to someone trying to understand and they don't understand what to do from the very first example.
Thank you habibi
I grew up watching this guy lol
So do you have to factor out the numerator for the final answer if possible or is it okay if you don't?
7:15 i have been looking for that explanation ❤

Why you look like off brand johnny sins? I like yea cut G real inspiring
question for the first problem you did. When you distributed you didn't put a negative for the 2 so -x-2. why is that I'm a bit confused there
Can you try solving subtraction of function with different denominators sign
This guy must like his KZread students better than his actual students. We aren’t disrupting him every 2 seconds. I feel what teachers have to go through even though I’m not an adult yet Edit: nvm he’s probably not a teacher to schools. Idk tho his whiteboard do be seeming legit

What if you have a rational expression with no variables in the denominator like this one 3x/8 +y/8? in this case I have a common denominator already however am uncertain how to solve.
God damn,I am a filipino but I understand you more than my filipino teacher.

For the third problem, how did you come up with the denominator (x+2)(x+1)? Can you please explain how you "factored" to come up with that LCD?

Man, your explanations are better than my teacher's but is -(x+2)= -x+2 I thought the product of a positive and a negative equals to a negative, right
Hello there, I am bit confused with 3rd Question - After you found common denominator x + 1, x +2, why did you not multiply Numerator 5x - 1 with x + 2, like you did on Right side of equation with 2x ?
@matthewosto8851
Жыл бұрын
because that one already had (x+1) (x+2) rather the rational expression with 2x only had one of them so you need to have both.
@julietgallant6838
11 ай бұрын
Because what it needs is only x+ 1 on the right side to get a common denominator. The left has a complete set (x+2) (x+1) so, you can leave it as it is.
Nice

You have to multiply constant of a ax^2 to the last terms and then try to split the middle term of quadratic equations ax^2 + bx + c to the "c" which is in this case is 2

Hello Brian: You forgot to write the exponent of 2 on the first term when you factored out the negative sign -> 8:51 to 9:00.
Ah yes, when you don't understand from online school but have a unit exam in 3 hours
Ser for number one positive 2 should be negative because we distributed - to x+1
1:24; shouldn’t the 2 become a negative?
Where do you teach at I want to go there
For the third one with the trinomial, why didn’t you distribute the 5x-1 with the two factors of the trinomial?
