      How sweet and humble you are to appreciate Mr John’s hard work!
      (I needed to add more to this message)
      You are only 14 years old!
      I am 73 and I should be old enough to be your grandmother.
      I may share some wisdom gained over the years.
      Humbleness is a worthwhile wholesome quality to have.
      I think all babies are born with humility, but they tend to lose it as they grow up, because they get influenced by the corrupted society around them.
      So, please try not to lose your humbleness as you go through life.
      Life is much more than learning Mathematics. However, when you focus your mind on Mathematics, it helps your mind to keep away from trouble! 😇
      I think, overall, this math channel gives us opportunities to observe how we all behave when we can’t do a math problem correctly.
      Some people’s ego gets hurt and they blame others!
      So, we get a chance to notice those shortcomings in the real world, learn how to remain humble with compassion and become better humans!

    The property of logarithms one needs to know for solving these problems is the log of a number to an exponent is the same as the exponent times the log of the number. This is a good practice problem for this property.

    I never remember how to do this, but it’s easy to derive on the fly. Another way to express the value 2 is 10^log(2).
    12 is then 10^log(2)^x, or 10^(log(2)*x). In other words, the base ten log of 12 is log(2)*x. The base 2 log is log(12)/log(2), which gives you the answer.

  • @BMF6889
    @BMF6889 Месяц назад

    I used logic to solve this problem meaning that we are actually solving for the sq root of 12 so the exponent needs to be the sq root of 12 which is 3.46410161513775. Plug that into the x value and you get 12.
    This seems to work only when dealing with base 2 so the log solution is the better way to go.

    • @Kualinar

      2^(✓12)= 11.035665... That's smaller than 12.
      2^(ln12/ln2) = 12. 2^(log12/log2) = 12. ln12/ln2 = 3.2849625... log12/log2 = 3.2849625...
      The only way to get the correct answer is to use logarithm, not a square root.

  • @CliffordMorris-ls9lc
    @CliffordMorris-ls9lc 21 день назад

    I taught this to primary kids I.e, 11 year olds . You just start with base 2 and make a table of answers
    Eg Base Exponent Answer
    2 0 1
    2 1 2
    2 2 4
    2 3 8
    2 4 16
    2 5 32
    Obviously expanded further. You then compare the exponents to the answers . The log is the index or
    Exponent to that base.
    So log 16 in base 2 is 4 . Just look at the table. A kid can see this.

    THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO TO PLAY MULTIPLE TIMES TO ASSURE YOU GET EVERYTHING PRESENTED...
    A L S O you MUST hardcore memorize about logs, exponents and bases....
    This is possibly NEW notation.... so spend 10 minutes and commit it to memory. Repeat this lesson tomorrow.... Then search out other RUclipss on logarithms.
    2^2 + 2^3 = 12
    I.E.
    4 + 8 = 12✔️
    2^2+2^3 = 2^2(1+2)
    = 2^2(3)
    So
    2^x = 2^2(3)
    Xlog2= log(2^2(3))
    X= log((2^2)(3))/log(2)
    = ((2log2)+log(3)/(log2)
    = (2(0.301)+(0.477))/(0.301)
    = (2 + (0.477/0.301))
    = (2+ 1.585)
    = 3.585
    Alternate
    Xlog2=log12
    X= log12/log2
    = 3.585

    My calculator came up with a similar solution, too, using natural logarithms.
    That answer is ln(3) / ln(2) +2.
    It also gave a solution called "root of the equation" with the solution using not base 10 log, but base 2 (aiming from value x?)
    That answer was x = log2(3) + 2

    2 to the x = 12, many don’t know where to start: 2³ = 8, 2ˣ = 12; x = ?
    Straight forward solution:
    log(2ˣ) = log12, x = log₂12 = log₂[(2²)(3)] = log₂(2²) + log₂3 = 2 + 1.585 = 3.585
    Answer check:
    2ˣ = 2³·⁵⁸⁵ = 12; Confirmed
    The calculation was achieved on a smartphone with a standard calculator app
    Final answer:
    x = log₂12 = 3.585

    This guy rabbits on and on . Introducing logs to the base e Euler’snumber then dividing by log base 2 with no explanation. The whole thing is a garbled mess. Sorry but he is crap at teaching and anyone who claims to have learnt anything aleady knew more advanced stuff.. What level he is teaching to is not defined. As a maths teacher I am at a loss to know how any of his children learnt from such a convoluted and mixed up message. Teaching is about simplifying not mixing up ideas . You start with the notion of a log as the inverse of an exponential. Establish this with examples then relate it to the problem. You do not try to tell people about other things like logs to base e. His other point was to establish why he was dividing by log base 2 with examples. Instead he just waffles on congratulating himself as if the object is proving how clever he is solving a very basic problem. Sorry but I despair!
