A short video lecture on Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials for Introductory & Intermediate Algebra students. Starfish award winning instructor Pat Kopf steps in front of the camera for a series of videos to support her Math 101 and 121 classes at Kellogg Community College.

This is so appreciated! For those of us that cant understand a thing our Profs are teaching in class...this is a life saver! Thank you!

Just started watching your lectures. These are great!! Wish my college had you here. Your lessons are the best. Your detail leaves no room for questions, this is always the hardest. Teachers always leave important details out and make it hard to grasp the concept. Greatest I've ever seen!! Please don't stop. Sure would love it if you tutored a web-site. I would sure sign up and tell the ones I know, to do as well. Hope to see more.

wow in our school its quarterm mode our teachers discussed so fast and i was taught only shortcuts and my reaction when i saw this was wow she is really detailing and explaining so clearly that even a child with only basic knowledge on algebra can also understand i wish i had you as my teacher you're really great if your students fail its their fault if you were my teacher id be passing any quiz, pop quiz, prelims, and even periodic exams all in all math teachers should be like you

Hi, this is Pat's husband and video producer here. Pat is out of the country right now to see spend time with our first grandson that was born last week. Just wanted you to know that she is almost totally off the grid and unable to respond at this time (and I certainly couldn't answer you correctly).

[@Plantsandtoyhorses]

Oh no problem, life goes on :) and congrats on the new grandson :)

[@jburckhardt]

thank youuuuu You are very good at teaching :)

[@kevinhenrellehenry3389]

thankyou teacher !!

[@Plantsandtoyhorses]

how about if your problem has a first x squared term that when you check the root of it, you get some decimal? Which is what I get when I find the root of 6. Also in a problem I am currently working on, there is a -28 as the middle term. But I can only find -31 + 3 = -28, but those numbers don't give a product (of multiplication) of 16 which Im also looking for.

Thank you so much for this video, I was wondering in the video at 7:30 is (5X+7)(5X+7) the answer to the problem? or (5X=7)squared ?

[@kaliber5073]

it's (5x+7)^2
