An interesting "behind the scenes" note: While making this video, I said / used the word "parabola" so much that it started to lose it's meaning! While I was making the thumbnail, I looked at what I had typed out and for a split second thought to myself, "is this even a word?". This phenomena is known as "Semantic satiation" in case you're curious and want to look into it. Really interesting stuff. Anyways, I hope this video helps all the Precal students who follow my channel. I have currently planning out videos on ellipses / hyperbolas, as well as some some proof videos for those of you who want some more advanced content. Two weeks left! Keep flexin' those brain muscles!
great video! Your introduction is really clear and insightful. A lot of times in math, we're just thrown problems and are expected to know the set-up every time with no context. This is where the beauty of math comes. My only contribution to the video would be to show how vertex form would look like...etc. as that is becoming a standard in school, but I honestly follow this method so much better. I think you mentioned that this was a geometric approach, so maybe I'm being too algebraic in my thinking. Thanks for the really great videos. I enjoy your complex polar-coordinate video as well, and it is a new concept for me that I am really intrigued by.

Funny we were just talking about sliding ladder today because this happened to me with the word "ladder!" 🤣
This man is out here making my life easier.
Thank you so much!!!
