    Thankyou very much , SIR. Your teachings on maths is very helpfull and encouraging.

    Good explanation of powers. However, IMO the solution becomes way more complex than necessary. I simply converted given problem to: sq root of[ ( 1/4)^3 ] . Then cubed 1/4 to 1/64 and took sq root of 1/64= 1/8.

      Or the other way round.
      Sqrt 1/4 = 1/2.
      (1/2)³ = 1/8.

      I did 1/4 to the power 1 times 1/4 to the power 1/2 because 3/2 is 1 +1/2. Which is 1/4 times 1/2. Voila 1/8. His solution seems unnecessarily complicated.

    • @stevegreen5552
      @stevegreen5552 4 месяца назад

      ​@@marknieuweboer8099That's the way I did it. Although I noted that the other valid solution of -1/8 was omitted as an option.

    I'd do it on the calculator this way:
    Note that 1/4 = 0.25. and
    3/2= 1.5, so
    .25 ^ 1.5 = 0.125, or 1/8
    OR doing it by hand
    SQRT(1/4)^3
    SQRT(1/4) = 1/2
    (1/2)^3 = 1 / 2^3 = 1/8

  • @Exciteonium
    @Exciteonium 4 месяца назад +2

    I do not know if the way I did it was mathematical sound but I converter the 3/2 to 1 1/2 the power of 1 makes no difference therefor 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 Also as a multiple choice when fractions are multiplied they get smaller so even without doing any math I would still choose 1/8 as the only possible answer and move on.

  • @dmp04
    @dmp04 4 месяца назад +1

    I changed 1/4 to (1/2)^2. This gives me ((1/2)^2)^3/2. Multiply 2x3/2 leaves (1/2)3 which is 1/8.

  • @davidcarter8932
    @davidcarter8932 4 месяца назад +1

    I think it is much easier to just look at this as the square root of 1/4 cubed. 1/4 cubed is 1/64 and its square root is 1/8.

  • @tom-kz9pb
    @tom-kz9pb 4 месяца назад

    Something raised to the (1/2) power is the square root. So the problem solution is the square root of 1/4, cubed = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8. Separating the 3/2 exponent into a square root operation followed by a cube operation makes the problem straightforward.

  • @reinhardtristaneugen9113
    @reinhardtristaneugen9113 4 месяца назад

    Now I got a) 1/8 and it is easy for me about my approach of mental calculation in knowing 25tothepowerof3 is 15625 whereof the square root is125... ...of course 0,125 is 1/8.
    ...the algebraic way is easy also in that you are supposed to get the square root out of (1/4 )tothepowerof3, right? ...so 1/64 and thereof the square root gets you likewise to 1/8.

    What would have been wrong with taking the (1/4)to the 3/2 as sqrt(1/4)cubed or sqrt(1/64) which is equal to 1/8?

    • @gregpoehlein6654
      @gregpoehlein6654 4 месяца назад

      That's how I did it. And while it is useful to know that a negative power is the reciprocal with sign of the power flipped, equally useful is knowing that a fractional power is a root.

    • @ellentronicmistress4969
      @ellentronicmistress4969 4 месяца назад

      There's nothing wrong with doing it by that method. Wahat he is teaching you is a method that might make more complex calculations involving indices easier.

  • @Stefanox36
    @Stefanox36 4 месяца назад

    03:20. I am sorry but 2 to the power of 3 is NOT 2 multiplied by itself THREE times. It is actually 2 multiplied by itself ONLY TWO times. To better understand my point, if you go on and multiply 2 by itself 3 times in a row, it would be 2x2x2x2 (See that I used the multiplication act three times which is the number of x's) so we will have 16. One more time. If you want 2 to the power of 2, you multiply 2 by itself ONLY ONCE.

  • @twinmama42
    @twinmama42 4 месяца назад

    From the given solutions there's only one that can be correct. 2 > 3/2 >1 and 1/4² = 1/16 then it is logical that 1/16 < 1/4^3/2 < 1/4. 1/8 is the only given solution that fits. Now to the video.

    Your solution is more complicated than I would do, and misses teaching what fractional powers mean. (1/4) ^ 3/2 = ((1/4) ^ (1/2))^3 = (sqrt(1/4))^3 = (1/2)^3 = 1/8.

    Constructive criticism here.
    I like the detailed solutions. But it’s almost 2 and a half minutes into the video when you say “Before we begin..”
    I’d like to think most ppl are like me. I’m already here and don’t need a sales pitch. A clear and concise breakdown, straight to the reason I’m here would be greatly appreciated and I’d definitely subscribe.
    Make the kind of videos you yourself would want to watch. If you’re a fan of verbose, long, drawn out chatter before getting to the point, then stay the course. A detailed solution which stayed on track could have been done in 5 minutes. Personally, I’d rather the remaining 10 or so minutes be spent doing other examples where viewers could pause the video and work along with you after watching the longer first solution.
    So that’s it. Thx.
