I find these videos so useful, and I really appreciate what you're doing, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. You're changing my life

    there's actually an easier way to calculate b in the last question. if you know that 9= 3^2, and square root of 3 =3^1/2, that means 3^2 x 3^1/2, then you can just add the powers to get 3^2.5

    Many thanks. With the last question, I thought it was just testing your knowledge of indices rules, i.e 3a x 3b x 3c = 3a+b+c. So you multiply the 3 together and as the 9s and root 3 cancel, it works out as 1. And if 3 a+b+c = 1, then a + b - c must = 0 because any number to the power of 0 =1

  • @SpiralDiving
    @SpiralDiving2 жыл бұрын

    There is a quicker solution to question at 19 minutes. Note that 3^(a+b+c) is the result of the multiplication of the three given terms. When you multiply the 3 terms they all cancel so 3^(a+b+c) =1. Hence a+b+c = 0 (because 3^0 = 1)

    Very well spotted and you’re absolutely right, I wonder how complex this would be however if they didn’t sum to 1. The method I’ve applied here would ensure marks were collected on an exam paper no matter the numbers in question but you’re method is definitely a viable alternative! Also, very well explained via a KZread comment so I take my hat off to you 😁👏🏼👏🏼

  • @aims__8785
    @aims__87852 жыл бұрын

    There's a much easier way to find what b is on the last question. Separate the 9 and sqrt(3) and make them both 3 to the power of something. So 3^1/2 = sqrt(3) and 3^3 = 9. They are both multiplying together so (3^1/2 x 3^2). Then add the powers and you get 3^5/2 so b =5/2.

    Active recall for sciences and any humanity. What i mean by this is take a look at your specification and then make the requirements into questions for you flashcards (i recommend anki its WAYY better then quizlet and it uses active recall!) for example students must know the definition of active transport. using bbc bitesize or a revision book (both are great tbh) make an answer to that question and revise that deck of flashcards for 7 days after that search up topic questions (gcse biology movement in cells or gcse physics energy past paper questions) and some lovely people on the internet would have already compiled it for you! For maths i would recommend doing questions from a topic like algebra from corbett maths or maths genie and then the questions you got wrong or werent able to get at all just search it up on youtube like fractional indices gcse maths and you will get lots of vids doing examples and giving you questions to do at the end. Hopes this helps xx

    9^-1/2 is equal to 3^-1. 27^1/4 is equal to 3^3/4. Because 27^1/4 is being divided on the right side, we multiply it on both sides. 9^-1/2 x 27^1/4 = 3^x+1 However we know what 9 and 27 is to the base of 3 so we rewrite it as, 3^-1 x 3^3/4 = 3^x+1 Its multiplication so the powers add to x+1, -1 + 3/4 = x+1 -1/4 = x+1 x = -5/4

    Amazing news! Glad this video gave you that last kick you needed 👏🏼 I use both an iPad Air and an iPad Pro, I’d say the air is perfectly fine for note taking but I teach all my lessons in the classroom via an iPad Pro and it’s far superior to the air for intensive use, hope that helps 😁🙏🏼

    you multiply 5n x 7 x 11 = 385n. Then you divide 385n/385 = 1n and on the other side 9260385 = 24.05 THEREFORE n = 24.05. hope this helped

    It’s unlikely I’ll have time and unless they are from an exact paper any marks would only be estimates of which they will all be 2-3 marks! I don’t tend to teach using marks in a classroom so it’s not something I’d probably plan to incorporate into a video 😁🙏🏼

    17:45 for anyone who doesn't understand his method of finding out b, i know an easier way. since we know that sqrt(3) is the same as 3^1/2 and 9 si the same as 3^2, we can write it as 3^b= 3^2 * 3^1/2 now its much eaasier since we can just cut out the two 3's and add the powers and we get 2+1/2 which equals 5/2 so the answer would be b=5/2 well I hope this helped. have a good day
