      Hi, I am interested in getting clarification in this video between 17 and 18 min for the question, correct answer
      by the contestant was declared wrong and a wrong answer announced. Correct answer is
      2100 sq ft announced wrong and gave 1500 sq ft as correct answer. Please clear this

    • @BinyIII
      @BinyIII 3 года назад +35

      ​@@vasanthadevimanohararajah5160 Hey, sorry I'm late but I'll clarify this for you. Ok, so the question says the following; 'Jim, Jeannie and their 5 children live in a 700-ft^2 apartment. They want to move house for which the ratio of square feet to children is triple the apartment's ratio of square feet to total people. How many square feet could their house be?'
      So, the thing most people would do is spot 700-ft^2 and triple and do (700-ft^2)x3 which would give you 2100-ft^2 (which is what the first boy who answered the question most likely would have done), but that is unfortunately wrong as there is no logic behind this. This is how you would logically figure the question out:
      Let's focus on the first part as it says 'ratio of square feet to children'. We can formulate an expression, so we could say that the square feet of the new house they're looking for (the answer) is x and that the amount of children is 5 so when put together it becomes x:5 Now, moving on it says, the value of x:5 is three times that of the 'apartment's ratio of square feet to total people'. Originally, it would be 700-ft^2:7 , 7 being the total number of people in the household (Jim, Jeannie and the 5 kids), but because it says the value of x:5 is triple 'apartment's ratio of square feet to total people' meaning we do (700-ft^2x3):7 which is 2100-ft^2:7.
      Now lets go back to the question. It says 'ratio of square feet to children is triple the apartment's ratio of square feet to total people'. It mentions the word 'is', meaning the values are equal. So, x:5=1200-ft^2:7 The common multiple of 7 and 5 is 35 so 7(x:5)=5(2100-ft^2:7) which when fully simplified gives us 7x:35=10500:35 This means 7x=10,500. Divide 7 on both sides and you get x=1500. By the way, although this is not an efficient method it still outlines the concept so hope you understand this.

      That was me in grade school. Some teachers were fine with it, others weren't. In high school, I got locked into algebra 2 for two years because of a teacher they paired me with repeatedly. Homework counted as 10% of the grade, extra credit was 10% of the grade (witch is bs when it should have been extra), in-class assignments were 20% and tests were 60%. The homework was easy and to show work I would just look up the problem and copy it down, the answers I got on my own, and most of the in-class stuff was easy, but the tests... so the way they worked were you had 10-20 problems, never more, never less, and you had to solve them 1, then 2, then 3, etc, and if you missed or showed incorrect work on, let's say problem 5, then questions 6-20 were not available to you and would be counted as wrong even if you got the right answer and showed work. Because of this teach I gave up on math for my senior year. I took some khan classes during my free time as a TA to remember everything and prep for college. In college, I got top of my class first year and tutored many fellow students. To this day I hate that man for holding me and many other students back because he had a unique testing system.

      Honestly think he might be concerned about making his competitors sad. Not saying he's not also just trying to focus and be ready for the next question, and generally struggling with the attention, but the fact that he seems quite disappointed when he loses, I imagine he expects others to be quite disappointed as well. Not to mention there's a large prize on the line.

    2^13 + 2^11 - 10
    = 2^13 - 8 + 2^11 - 2
    = 2^3 ( 2^10 - 1 ) + 2 * ( 2^10 - 1 )
    = ( 2^3 + 2 ) * ( 2^10 - 1 )
    = ( 2^3 + 2 ) * ( 2^5 - 1 ) ( 2^5 + 1 )
    = 10 * 31 * 33
    since the question asked for the largest prime factor, the answer is 31.
