Quadratic Word Problems
In this video, we examine two quadratics word problems. In the first, we do a problem involving the radius of a sprinkler in a square yard. In the second problem (2:40), we find two consecutive odd numbers that have a particular product.

Absolute Value Equations
In this video, we examine how to solve absolute value equations. We try to develop a conceptual understanding by representing the equations on a number line.

Absolute Value Inequalities (2)
In this video, we solve three absolute value inequalities. The first example is pretty standard, the second example are what I would call "exceptions," meaning that one has no solutions, and the other has all real numbers as its solutions

Distance Formula 1
This video is a basic video on using the distance formula when given two points.

Distance Formula (advanced - missing coordinate)
This video walks through two examples of "advanced" distance formula problems. Specifically, problems where you are given the distance, but have to work backwards to find one of the original points.

Work Rates Word Problem (2 examples)
In this video, we work out work rates word problems. In the first problem, we see how long it takes to build furniture while working together. In the second problem, we see how long it takes to paint a room when working together.

Work Rates Problems (more challenging)
In this video, we work out a work rates problem that has a small twist. You are given how long it takes both people to complete the job together, and then you are asked about an individual rate. This problem involves shoveling snow, but...

Quadratic Formula (Advanced)
In this video, we learn how to solve quadratic equations with the quadratic formula. We examine one example where we have to simplify the radical, and a second example with a nonreal solution.

Solving Equations with Rational Exponents (Fraction Exponent Equations)
In this video, we solve two equations with rational exponents (fraction exponents). In order to solve equations with rational (fraction) exponents, you first isolate the value that is raised to the rational exponent. Then, you raise both...

Unit Circle 2 - The Points
This is my second video on deriving the Unit Circle. If you know where the angles (degrees and radians) come from, your next step is to use special right triangles to derive the points on the Unit Circle.

Find Trig Ratios (when given another ratio)
In this video, we investigate how to find trig ratios when given other ratios. First, we define all six trig ratios, then we examine for which quadrant each angle is positive and negative. Then, we work two examples.
