3minutemaths

Welcome to 3minutemaths! This channel is all about GCSE maths revision, and focusses on the topics needed to pass GCSE maths, with all the main boards: Edexcel, OCR, AQA and Eduqas. I have worked as a maths tutor for over 20 years, both privately and within schools, tutoring a wide range of students on all areas of the curriculum - from foundation to higher level topics.
The videos support my own worksheets, and are posted every Tuesday. They are all based on similar exam questions, and definitely proofread by my students! Please do let me know if there are any particular topics, either through the comments on the channel, or directly by visiting 3minutemaths.co.uk.
Any thoughts, comments or ideas are very much appreciated. Please do subscribe, and I'll look forward to seeing you soon :-)

    For the first part, I started with 3^LHS = 3^RHS then used the properties of logs and powers to simplify, everything simplifies down to the quadratic equation. Your working is more elegant.

    [ With Logarithms, first always calculate the valid domains ] In any log_a(b), we should have b > 0, and a > 0 and a != 1. Here, a is already 3. Thus, we just need to ensure that x + 1 > 0 and x - 1 > 0, which implies that x > 1. 3x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0, has two solutions x = 1/3, x = 2. Since x > 1, we only accept x = 2. In this case, if you approach the problem systematically, there is no need to check the solutions. Just satisfy as per the domain, because the operations involved don't produce any loss of information. In some other types of questions, where you would need to square somewhere, the sign information gets lost, and then in the end, you will need to keep back the solutions in the original equation and verify.

    You missed something. You have to plug the values back into the original equation and when you do that, 1/3 - 1 = -2/3 < 0. log of that is not defined so 1/3 is not a solution. 2 is the only one available.

    to say that was helpful would be a total understatement! now, after watching many videos, your video makes it real...I understand the purpose of this completely, only sampling 11 girl students is manageable! but honestly, how do we choose those 11 girls, is it a simple random, or do we just choose 11 girls, or what? thank you very much! so glad i found you!!

    too easy, scaling by a factor p means the new length will be p times original length and the area of a regular hexagon is just 6 times the area of an equilateral triangle with the same side length. Do some addition, subtraction of the two areas and you get the result.
