#aMinuteMathconception: parabolic curve sketching

There are a lot of things to be afraid of in life, but polynomial identities aren't one of them. Find out what they are, master the plays, and adopt a strategy to tackle such problems.

Read the coverage, react to the coverage, and realize that this topic isn't something that can throw you off that easily.

0:10 Equations vs identities

1:13 Strategy 1 - Compare heads and tails

2:05 Strategy 2 - Make zero

3:20 Strategy 3 - Simple values

3:56 Strategy 4 - Expand everything

4:38 Application of strategies

Inspired by a coach's playbook, this video helps middle / secondary school students master the abstract concept of solving polynomial identities by analyzing it as various strategies, presented in a dynamic manner.
