He could be if he shortened the solutions. A 20 min video is not helpful. Every video contains way too much backstory, smiley faces, and sales pitch for the importance of math. It would be much more helpful to have links to previous videos explaining order of operations or methods needed to solve it… instead of a “brief” explanation EACH TIME.

Your videos are outstanding they were what made me try out your math program. You are direct and to the point. The enthusiasm and positivity you bring is priceless.
You can solve using logarithms. But by the process of elimination is faster. 3² = 9 3³ = 27 Therefore 2 < x ÷ 2 < 3 If x = 8 yields 4 too big Same with 24 If x = 2.26 yields 1.13 too small So answer is d) 4.52
Seems easier to start by raising both sides by the power of 2. Then by the power rules, you have 3^x=144. That is how I started the problem. Then do your log functions.
I did not need a calculater or a log table: So here's my logic of getting my choice of d: 3^2 = 9, so for 3^y = 12, y would be slightly larger than 2. And x/2 woulc be slighlt larger than 2. So the multiple choice answer is d.
Dear John, Here is how I finally solved this my way, after some help from you on logs. First, I squared both sides. Why? Because squaring the side with the exponent is done by adding the exponent x/2 to itself, and adding half of any value to half equals that value (n/2 + n/2 = n). Result is a simplified exponent: 3^(x/2) × 3^(x/2) = 3^x and 12 × 12 = 144 So, 3^x =144 then xlog3 = log144 as you taught me. Finally, divide both sides by log3: x = log144 / log3 = 4.52 approximately. What do you think of this?
Look, without even writing anything down it's easy to see that this is log(144)/log(3) (actually the log can be in any base). In base 10 we know that log(144) is going to be "a bit over 2" (just the log(100) part), and most of us just know that log(3) is a tad under 0.5. So we know log(144)/log(3) is going to be something somewhat over 4. That's enough to zero us in on answer (d). See, you don't have to solve these things exactly - if you just cultivate the right sort of number sense you can usually figure them out in seconds in this sort of "multiple choice" environment. Especially when the offered options are as spread out as these are - (d) is the only one that's even in the ballpark.
I started by observing 3 power 2 is 9. 12/9 is 4/3. Square root 3 is about 1.7, 4th root about 1.3. So 3 power x/2 =12 gives x/2 approximately 2.25. X is double, approximately 4.5. Viewing the options, (d). Giving this a multiple choice, and has to be solved in 10 seconds, no one will have time for anymore calculation.
This is an excellent example of how relying on PEMDAS just adds confusion. Use parentheses, or recast the problem as two pieces. y=x/2; 3^y = 12. Solve for y, then solve for x.
To solve without a calculator (or even without writing it down on paper) 9 < 12 < 27 3^2 < 3^(x/2) < 3^3 2 < x/2 < 3 4 < x < 6 The only solution that fits this inequality is D) 4.52
how about squaring both sides 3^(x/2)^2 = 12^2 3^x = 144 x log 3 = log 144 x = (log3+log3+log4+log4)/log3 x= (2+2log4)/log3 => 2(1+log4)/log3 where log4/log3 is log4 base3

If you use deductive reasoning, you can get rid of 2 of the 4 solutions, as they don't make sense (for example 3 to the 4th power is 81, and so x cannot be 8 -- must be less than 8, so that also rules out 24). However we do know that 3 to the 2nd power is 9 and that 3 to the third power is 27 so it's somewhere in between. Actually you don't really need to do much math except figure out what 3 to the 2nd power and the 3rd power is to narrow down the answer. But technically you can do this in your head too (not even need logs; of course using logs is the mathematically correct way to solve this, but if you didn't know, you could use trial-and-error here too with some reasoning). (Actually you can eliminate answer C pretty quickly too if you figure that 2.26 / 2 is 1.13, which is less than 2 and we know that 3 squared is 9, which is still too low, but 4.52 / 2 = 2.26, and that might work because it's more than 2, but less than 3.
I should be able to solve it easily! Come on, if I could do that would I be watching at all? John, you are great at math for sure , that's why I watch! But I don't need comments that try and make me feel dumb for not thinking something's easy! Thanks John!

Greetings. The answer is d, 4.52. The expression 3^X/2=12 boils down to 3^X=12^2. That is X log3=log 144, and X =log 144/log 3=2.158362492÷ .477121254= 4.523719014= 4.52 approximately. Lovely. 3^X/2=12 can be written as 3^(X/2×2/X)= 12^2/X to get rid of the exponent X/2. Now we have 3=12^2/X. Moving forward we want to get rid of the root X. We will accomplish this by raising all the terms of the expression by X to get 3^X=12^(2/X ×X/1). That is 3^X=12^2. From here you will employ logarithmic functions. Try it and see.
You don't need to check c with a calculator. 2.26 divided by 2 is 1 point something, clearly not enough to make 12. Or, x/2 has to be more than 2, because 3^2=9, which is less than 12. So x has to be more than 4.
I see that if 3 to the x power is equal to 2 times 12, therefore 24, then x has to be 8. (3, 8 times makes 24, then divide that by 2)). What do you think?? Makes sense to me. I choose a) 8.
I think I got it wrong because I misunderstood how to work out te exponent 'x'. It isn't 3 times 8. It is 3times 3, then that answer, 9, times 3, and so on 8 times. @@StephenRayWesley

D is not incorrect. If x = 4.52 then 3^(x/2) = 3^2.26 ≈ 11.97 which is accurate to 3 significant digits, which is exactly what we'd expect when x is also accurate to 3 significant digits.

Are logs really old? They were first publicized in 1614 by John Napier. A logarithm is the inverse function of exponentiation.
Yes, I have a long in my backyard that is hundreds of years old.
One of the oldest logs is Homer's Odyssey. Sumerians made accounting log tables, I think. 😅

3^(x/2) = 3^2.261859507142914874199 ≈ 11.999999999999999999999285. Still not quite 12.
The only exact solution is x = 2 log₃(12)
@@MarieAnne. 11.97 is not 12. Ergo, not correct. When answering multiple choice one would 'expect' the outcome to be correct, unless the question states 'which one comes closest'
10 seconds later, I understood that 4
Was hoping to learn without the use of calculator 🤦🏻♀️
something divided by 2 is 12. so that would be 24? my guess is d!
11.975? I love your videos, but that is not 12 in my world. Rounding up? So, pick the best answer? lol
d
Got a happy face but had almost zero confidence. Algo boost!
D. X =4,52

My answer is A. 8
x = 50.3017

Smh. Very annoying
d) possibly?✓✓✓
Get to it and stop stretching out the video for earning. The video actually gave me anxiety!!!!!!
U did not simplify saying log 12 divided by log 3 will give 2.26 and then multiply 2.26 by 2 will give rounded up 4.52. This is click bate, but should not be in standard form of test, take too long, unfair did not say use log, cz take too long that time is too tight in standard test why question like this should not be in standard test, but good to get (click bate!), math teacher or not, everybody need something using U tube to get some recognition n few cents or more. All these steps would have been simpler if question stated use log! All these has zero connection in reality for vast plus people other than those forced to learn to go to college even then only top 5-ercent graduates, best of best, ever get their field gets job, why trade school is booming n I know even ex-electrical, mechanical engineering major ended up going to trade school to obtain automotive certifications to be auto technician how highly computerized and must have at least fair understanding of electrical knowledge... This math is totally useless is my closing fact-based point indeed and case closed!
You are really falling down on this one, dont' want to use a calculator, defeats the whole purpose., You are just wasting time. just stick to the present problem
He talks and talks and talks........
I get impatient with this teacher. Its a log problem so just get to it! I get it, you are trying to confuse new students with too many ideas and scribbles.
Utter ridiculous to take 20 mins for what took me literally 3 seconds to do it twice. I had to make sure as it was so easy. This guy is laughable. He would have flunked 11+ for not answering in the time allotted. So bloody remedial it’s beyond a joke if people can’t do this - it’s simple multiplication. Oh wait, I know someone who can’t do this his initials are DT.
And yet there are students that graduated High School that can't make change, when the Cash Register is broken.
I wouldn't last 45 mins in his maths class, so boring!
I lost interest!!!
I really wish you would just show how to solve the problem and not talk so much!
This is why math is so fucked up. There could be 2 more different ways to solve this. Plug that number that number back into the equation. Then tell me what you come up with.
