This is the best lesson I've ever seen, online or in books, about absolute values. Superb! I've wrestled and wrangled for years, learning rules by heart, never having the foggiest what I was doing. You teachers out there: before taking a class in absolute values, see how Mr Whitt does it. You'll learn more than a whit from Larry, whilst enjoying his wit.
Your explaination is very clear and helpful. I haven't been doing math for eleven years, but couldn't find any better explaination than yours on RU-vid, to review and wake up my sleeping and long gone mathematic skills.
I've been struggling with absolute values for a few weeks now and thankfully my professor recommended this link. You are outstanding. Thank you so much for simplifying this for me.
I just started self studying Precalculus by James Stewart and had trouble with Stewarts explanation of properties of absolute values and evaluating absolute values. This video is a huge help.
Wow I wish you were my instructor, in college!! You have been phenomenal, in your amazing way of delivering the mathematics, and I got through, both of my last Algebra courses, wouldn’t know what to do, had you not been there!! I am starting intermediate algebra, as usual I automatically feel better, watching how you explain things!! Very Grateful, Vivian Paulson
You explained the basic concepts used to understand and solve these types of questions brilliantly. Useful examples worked with energy and clarity. The null solution and infinite solution sets are a bonus.
Thank you for repeating yourself and explaining each question. It makes all the difference in helping me memorize what needs to be done for each type of problem. :)
At least your professors didn't explain it......mine kept referring to their (pre-prepared) notes every step of the way, as though they weren't sure of themselves.....even though on other topics they sailed through like a breeze.
This have saved my life THANK YOU VEEEEEERRRRYYYY MUUUUCCCHHHHHH, easy to understand when you explained it like that , I wish i could be your student , i dont know why proffesors make a huge deal about it , we students need professors like you , no bs, and very practical this how is done , pum , and everyone is happy .
Thank you 🙏☺️ I honestly get it now thanks to you! My teachers usually gives us like a few problems, which I do sometimes get, but when it comes to the homework, there some problems they haven’t even explain ( if that makes sense, but the point is Thank youuuuuu!)
"Put your cigarette down and pay attention for a minute!" Lol! that intro! I am done. LOL! Who is that? Is that his real accent? He's good. He need to be on all of the introductions.
you've been very helpful in the discussion and will it be possible if you can publish these lectures in a manuscript form or issue a hard copy for my compilation?
Thank You Very much sir, I'm a grade 7 stars student and in school I findi the lesson hard but watching this, you helped me understand more about it. Thumbs up and Subscribed for you! Great Job Sir :D
Having a hard time determining the slope using the slope formula and two points on the line, can not identy the slope when the points are given. I need your help.
@@FortBendTutoring Going one step further than Benny’s, if a quadratic doesn’t factorize, but had an absolute value, like this: 3(lxl^2) + 5lxl - 9 >0 Would that be solvable? Would (lxl^2) be the same as (x^2), and hence 3(lxl^2) being justifiably replaced by 3(x^2), rendering the inequality to 3(x^2) + 5lxl - 9 >0 ? As for the solution to Benny’s problem being >2, mine came to a rather weird end: I got: a) lxl > -1, x >-2…, which of these do I choose? The first says all real numbers, whilst the second says all numbers greater than -2. b) lxl < -1, x < -2…….the first is to be discarded, leaving the answer as < -2. Boy, am I in a jam!
What kind of stylus/smart pen you use????????????? Clearly its not the apple pencil ??? What is that button on its tip (is it a shirt button).Is it a DIY kinda stylus?
Leading off with union versus intersection is a VERY smart strategy to foreshadow how to think about the solution set(s). It forces one to anticipate every step which follows. The only better narrator might have been Sam Jackson.
