Having trouble remembering the order of operations? Let's raise the stakes a little bit. What if the future of your (theoretical) kingdom depended on it? Garth Sundem creates a world in which PEMDAS is the hero but only heroic when in the proper order.

7 ate 9
7 : "I have to eat 3 squared meals every day!"
Kinda like a joke. Based on three squared equals nine.
And it's actually a pun, because seven ate (eight) nine
😂😂😂
7,8,9
I made up a similar joke to the classic "why is 6 afraid of 7, because 7 8 9", but with letters. Here it is. Why is z afraid of all the other letters?
Because they're all not z's (nazis).
Just multiply it by 0
that is too OP
This is the multiplication's only superpower.
Nerf multiplication. Too op.
Lol
I like how you think
I love how subtraction is protrayed as this small little docile character, but it's really the only one that can effectively reduce the sequence of numbers into zero.
Now everytime I solve a math equation, I will recall how the six musketeers defeated a mathematically huge dragon.

@@sandeepgill9975 shush
Funny how people say "just multiply by 0" when deriving the constant dragon would have been as effective but more elegant.
You won't have normal numbers to work with. Exponents needs a number to work. The Dragon is eating all of the numbers. They have to use the insides of The Dragon if they want to get rid of this issue.
You wonder how they got the number population back with this tiny number "1".
I think dividing by 0 is equivalent to the nuclear bomb.
Yep

Its not PEMDAS in our country! Its called GEMDAS G means Grouping
LightDaChessPlayer I say pemdas and bodmas b meaning brackets o meaning orders
Dragon: Lol try to kill me
÷ Sign: *_Divides dragon by 0_*
Dragon: *_OH GOD NOOOOOOOOO-_*
multiplication: multiplies dragon by 0
Dragon: *oof*
But what’s the Dragons value
(Key dr=dragons value /= division)
Dr / 0= 0
I’ll change the DR later
Then the 0 number that is in dragom body, when diveded by zero, transforms the dragon into the indefinite dragon, a conjecture of all number. Congrats.
divide the dragon to 0
make it be infinitly bigger

Truly Ted Ed’s weirdest video by far.
Bloody insane
What does that mean?
@@createyourownfuture3840
Syndicalism: a Movement and/or Revolution that tries to abolish the capitalist order and let workers take control of the economy and government by direct means.
Anarcho-Syndicalist: a Philosophy that views Syndicalism as a way to gain control of the economy and influence boarder society
Commune: One definition of Commune is a Living situation or a group of people that they have to share everything.

Mine is a powerful spell. I can use it on any number and they'll disappear. It's called the Multiply by 0 spell.
You know everyone seems to be talking about dividing by zero, but the fact there's just a casual other monster laying around is chill??
Yeah seems fair enough.
It took me 4 years to realise that they were trying to explain BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS, whatever the heck you call it
PEMDAS.
It's Pemdas. And it stands for Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition and Subtraction. It's a very important acronym in math.
As a french, multiplication and division have the same value and can be exchanged...
International math isn't as easy as may you think.
Maths are an extract of the language it user use, so linguistic interpretation occurs too.
@@susandarber9942 Oh.
BODMAS is also a strategy lol
It's easy. Just turn the ( ) into a 0 and put it after division guy. By dividing the dragon by 0 the universe breaks and the dragon is kill. Simple geometry.
🤔
geometry?
Some Shape that’s not geometry
It's only geometry because you're a shape.
It would kill everything not just the dragon

2:35 This is *incorrect*. Division is just another kind of multiplication, so it should be done in the same step as multiplication, from left to right. The same is true of addition and subtraction.
Division is Multiplication, but backwards.
The equals is right though
No it isn’t
The answer is still correct
It didn't say that multiplication is first

+Wilson Ong
If a lot of people think as you do it could be done small scale but still takes about a month's worth of work for someone already confident in the appropriate languages for the chosen platform to code anything that would be seen as reasonably decent beyond text based. Some things don't work well for large programs you end up with hundreds of lines of code have trouble shot be meticulous and find the most efficient code not just a way of doing it and you have to compile it to make it easily machine readable . Also there's the artwork but before all that there's asking the owner if you can use their idea to avoid copyright infringement.
+Wilson Ong
People are too busy making more efficient concepts, and the only ones foolish enough to try somethin' complex like this fail. Hard.
+Matthew H I know games don't have to be complicated or take that long to create but as far as I can tell it dose if you want it to be good enough to keep people interested.

Multiplication times the dragon by two.
Subtraction gets in the middle of the two dragons.

-Raise the dragon to the power of the 0
-Dragon is now a 1
-You could also multiply the dragon by the 0 to get 0

If I drop my calculus book on the dragon's carotid artery from high enough up, when my book reaches terminal velocity, it should hopefully impart enough force to kill the dragon, so I think that should do it.
Throw a Nokia phone at it.
we want to kill the dragon, not destroy the world
Technically, it would impart enough force from any height. It's momentum that you're concerned about.

I watched the video over and over, to where a lot of it was burned into my mind. Now here i am, at the (Very young grade of 6th grade 💀) learning Pemdas, and because those scenes were so burned into my mind, i finally understood everything, and it just clicked. I completely aced everything and completely saved my math grade. Thank you Ted Ed for putting this video inside a time capsule in my head for when this would become useful
Well, even though you said that parentheses can be inside other parentheses, there are also to more different pairs of grouping symbols, brackets [ ] and braces { }.
1. Get multiplication
2. Throw him into the dragon's mouth
3. Let him do some sums with 0
4. The dragon is dead!

Just to let everyone know, Multiplication and Division are done together, left to right, same goes for addition and subtraction
so if 20 / 5 x 5 was shown, it would go :
20 / 5 x 3
4 x 3
12
likewise, if 20 - 5 + 3 was shown, it goes :
20 - 5 + 3
15 + 3

I Know Another Way To Defeat A Dragon With Math...
Dungeons And Dragons
@WILLIAM HOLCOMB YEAH!
3:16 one is the loneliest number
Thank you for teaching me math even though it’s easy.
What knights are thinking when they attack a dragon:
*ok so if I throw my sword at its neck, then if I figure out the mohs scale, I would say about 9.2k mohs so the material of the dragon is skin so earth is 9.8 m/s squared but this may be altered by air and the horizontal speed should be slightly be above the real answer because the air will push off if it. If I find the correct force and the sine and cosine waves then I will figure it out. The target relative to my position and rotation is 90 feet, so I will throw at a 45 degree angle with the force of 100 lb weight traveling at the force of 10 mph.*

*sword chokes dragon*
