    I like how you're going for the teacher-whose-sick-of-their-students-and-just-wants-to-get-home approach. Very easy to grasp.

    • @RawMaths
      @RawMaths  8 років тому

      Just to defend the class room teacher, it is much easier to explain stuff in a one on one situation than in a classroom full of students. That is why a maths tutor can be very beneficial.

    hello, this is one of the best youtube surds videos i have seen but i dont understand how the top question at 2:40 is 10 root 5 as i got 9 root 5 and i did for the root of 80 : root 4 times root 20 which then simplified 2, 2 , root 5 overall and then i did for the root 180 : root 9 times root 20 and 9 again, is a square number and got 3 ,2, root 5 then i added them up and it gave me 9 root 5 pls explain this thankyou

    • @Ninic1371
      @Ninic1371 9 років тому

      Ninic1371 does it have to be multiplied by root 5? if so how come and is there a way to know for every surds question on which square/ which two number two use seeing as they seem to give different answers

    • @RawMaths
      @RawMaths  9 років тому

      Ninic1371 It is a bit like cancelling fractions eg 20/30 = 10/15 = 2/3 or 20/30 = 4/6 = 2/3 you get the same answer if done properly but you must keep taking out square numbers until there are none left. so your r80 = r4r20 = r4r4r5 = 2x2xr5 = 4r5 which is what you got and r180 = r9r20 = r9r4r5 = 3x2xr5 = 6r5 not 5r5
      so 4r5 + 6r5 = 10r5

    • @RawMaths
      @RawMaths  10 років тому

      I think you would need more information to solve that as you have 2 unknowns and only one equation.

    • @thejohn86
      @thejohn86 10 років тому

      RawMaths It's an A** question in the higher certificate, and that is all the information that is given :D But I managed to get it using the rule (that you should totally cover in a video): a+b*sqrt(k) = c+d*sqrt(k) IF a, b, c, d and k are constant rational numbers. then a=c and b=d.
