  • Here's a long-awaited math no calc section walkthrough! I'd recommend only double checking problems if you consistently finish with plenty of time to spare--otherwise just try to get through them all and maybe check just the ones that could go the most wrong. See my math section overview video for more ideas on how to structure your time for this section (in this one I mainly just give the strategies I use to tackle each question).

    For number 10 you can quickly see the right answer is 8 because there is only 1 X term in the function and it is squared. Therefore the 4 and -4 will give the same result, which is 8

    I paused before you explained each question and they were all very easy and I got each one right. The writing, and especially the reading section are much more confusing. As a 10th grader, this type of math is as easy as middle school math and nothing compared to AP calculus BC or even precalculus.

    Another little trick for number 12 would be:
    Since we know that the line passes through the origin, the slope can just be our y value over our x value (y-0/x-0 = y/x), that way we can quickly check algebraically that (2,14) is indeed the right answer.
    Thought it may help for people who hate graphing the functions as much as I do

    As an Australian high school student, this is quite interesting to watch.
    I'm not at all familiar with the education in the US, but my first impression is this doesn't seem too difficult (at least this section) You just have to be very thorough and, like you said, be wary of silly mistakes (which I too make many of 😭).
    Also for question 19, this is actually just the trig identity "sin(x) = cos(90-x)"
    So, the answer will be the same (4/5).
    In Australia, you choose your own subjects, and each has it's own exam. Your scaled scores in school, combined with your exam marks form your selection rank, called ATAR. It's a quite different process, which I think is interesting.

    For 5, you can check by letting x and y equal two small, arbitrary numbers (such as 0 and 1) and then seeing which option matches the expression. For 9, you can plug in the answers and see if the values satisfy both equations, so the substitution method is not necessary for checking!

    • @annas-universe
      @annas-universe  Před rokem +2

      Yep! Good tip for number 5--though sometimes you have to be careful plugging in random numbers, especially 0s. It's definitely not necessary if you plug in the values like I mention for that one (and do for the other system of equations problem), I just wanted to go over as many ways of checking as possible since different methods work best for different people. :)

    • @jumpyjuice1992
      @jumpyjuice1992 Před rokem +1

      @@annas-universe Yep, that’s right. I agree that 0 and 1 sometimes don’t work - it might be more practical to choose other integers depending on the question. Usually, you can eliminate at least 1-2 options by setting one of the variables = 0, although that may not lead to the answer directly. :)

    For number 13, after you add up the two fractions that were created from the cross multiplication, how come:
    (X+3)(X+2) + X+2(X+3)
    gives you (X+3)(X+2)? For reference Im only writing down the denominator of the two added fractions since that is what confused me.
    I assume youre adding the fractions because (x+3)1 + (x+2)1 equaled to 2x+5.
    Please let me know if theres any rule Im not aware of when it comes to adding a fraction's denominators, and thanks in advance 😅

    • @annas-universe
      @annas-universe  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hi! So this is the addition of fractions rule. To add the numerators of two fractions together, the denominators have to be the same, and then you can add the numerators up but keep the denominators as they are. Here's a simpler case: 1/4+2/4 = 3/4, not 3/8. The same rule applies here, even though the denominators are more complex in this case--hope this helps!

    • @jumpyjuice1992
      @jumpyjuice1992 Před rokem +2

      First expand LHS and make the coefficients on LHS equal to those with the same exponent on RHS. You should then be able to come up with equations that allow you to solve for the variables. This uses the same logic as the derivation of Vieta’s formula for quadratics, which I highly recommend you look into!

    • @annas-universe
      @annas-universe  Před rokem +2

      It's important to recognize the right side is in the standard form for a polynomial, so getting the left side to match that same form lets you do what Jumpy Juice is saying, get your three systems of equations, and solve from there (this problem is crazy!). If you're in doubt about what a question wants from you, always try altering what you're given in the most practical way, so in this case, expanding out the terms on the left side. Then it becomes easier to recognize the weird trick they want you to use to solve the problem :D

Please don't forget the basics, they are still important.
      * "It looked interesting so I clicked on it" is a sentence fragment and lacks a comma
      ** "I happened to scroll down to see comments" is missing the word 'the'. This is important because the modifier 'the' not only specifies what is being referred to, but also changes the noun from a general noun to a specific noun.
      *** "Please don't forget the basics. They are still important." doesn't need to be two separate sentences. In fact, making them two separate sentences makes the second sentence a sentence fragment, so combining the two with a comma is more grammatically correct.
      Not everyone has the time to thoughtfully write and edit a sentence in the comments section of a CZcams video while they are studying for the SATs. You didn't, even though you're not studying for the SATs.
