why the hell don't they tell us this when it's so simple. I was under the impression the bx was just too advanced for us to understand yet so all we needed to know is that it was part of the quadratic formula, but all it was just the slope at the y-intercept.. The only justification I can think for this is that they may want to teach derivatives or something first but it's not that complex to need knowledge of instantaneous slope. I have suffered since 8th grade, agonizing over what cryptic meaning it must have what a let down
This is how he should have explained it Say for example we have(the question is draw a rough sketch of a parabola/quadratic function) a>0 which means it's a positive number b>0 which means it's a positive number c
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful and it served its purpose. Just, may i ask which like program you use to present these different functions ? It would make things easier for me to better understand as i continue studying.
+Muky Tack That particular program was a custom thing I had thrown together. If I was doing the video today, I'd use the desmos.com calculator, which can do sliders the same way.
