    I think Khan has been sent by God to save us. I don't know how my dad made it through college without youtube, lol. They actually had to read the math book, yuck. A math book makes about as much sense as a basketball racket.

    (first comment) I LOVE YOU MAN!! These videos have saved my life soo many times! Last night I had to tutor someone about something I didn't know about (Cellular Respiration) and your videos helped me learn all of Cellular Respiration in less than 30 minutes. Saved my life, and my friends life so many times! My teacher now uses your videos for extra lessons :) You are awesome

    • @Magnus_Loov
      @Magnus_Loov 9 років тому

      Also
      (5/6)^2=((5^2)/(6^2))=25/36
      since
      (a/b)^2 is the same as (a^2)/(b^2).
      That comes from (a/b)^n=(a^n)/(b^n)
      Set n to the power of 3 for example:
      You would have (5/6)^3
      (5/6)^3=(5^3)/(6^3)=125/216
      And that is saying the same thing as (5/6)*(5/6)*(5/6)=(5*5*5)/(6*6*6)=125/216

    0^0 is indeed undefined because we know that a^0=1 but 0^a=0 and so we run into a contradiction.

  • @TheHogTieChamp
    @TheHogTieChamp 14 років тому

    I might have missed a video... Had you mentioned that x^0 = 1, given x =/= 0?
    That condition is pretty important, because we need to preserve the truth that 0^x is equal to 0. But if x = 0, then.... Well, you see the problem! What is 0^0? 1?? 0??
    Oh... From this we can conclude that I should watch THE WHOLE VIDEO before typing my nonsense comments! Heheheh...

    i have a question, hope you respond. At the last part, where you simplified 3x^2y^3/2 over xy1/2, why did you subtract the exponents of x and y??

    • @Neme112
      @Neme112 9 років тому

      +cerwin labadan Because x^a / x^b = x^(a-b) When you divide, you subtract the exponents. You can also think of it as: x^a * 1/x^b, and knowing that 1/x^b = x^(-b), this is equal to x^a * x^(-b) and now you can just add the exponents (because there's multiplication), so this is x^(a-b)

    • @Neme112
      @Neme112 9 років тому

      Or simply if you have like 2^5 / 2^3 you can clearly see that this is equal to 2*2*2*2*2 / 2*2*2, so the three 2s cancel out and you're left with two 2s on the top - that's why you subtract.

    So if you have -9° (negative nine to the zero power), does that equal 1 or -1? I think you said that everything to the zero power equals zero but the negative sign is not in parentheses. Would that not make the final outcome (which is one) negative?

  • @tatsumakisempyukaku
    @tatsumakisempyukaku 3 роки тому

    I get that x^0 is 1.
    But my question has always been that if 0 is 0, then why isn’t x equivalent to x^0??
    In other words, why isn’t x^0=x?? Because x has zero exponents, right?
    The only thing I thought to counter this was if we right 20, and zero isn’t anything, then 20 should be equivalent to 2, because why write the zero if it isn’t anything. But there is a significance to putting a zero to signify two sets of ten or 20
    So does x^0 do something similar?

      charleeeeh that’s 1/128. If you meant 4^(-3/2), it equals 1/8. Note the difference in parentheses.
