    AND THEN AGAIN! we know that the MCAT is hard and the MCAT is important, and to do well on the exam it matters how you prep and not how much you prep.

    Something I would recommend including is the addition of inverse fractions because it's necessary for solving things like the Thin Lens Equation or resistors in parallel. Let's say I wanted to find the total resistance in a circuit that had a 60 ohm and a 20 ohm resistor in parallel, so 1/R = 1/60 + 1/20. In this case you would multiply 1/20 by 3/3 to make the denominators the same, so 1/60 + 3/60 = 4/60. This simplifies to 1/15, so R = 15 ohms. Hope this helps!

    something that helps me with logs and fractions is this rule
    log (A/B) = Log (A) - Log (B)
    log (AB) = Log (B) + Log (A)
    e.g log (1/1000)
    i would change to
    log (1) - log (1000)
    0 + (-3) = -3
    don't know if this helps anyone!

    • @andrewhanna5194
      @andrewhanna5194 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ex: 10^-4.3
      round exponent down to 4, then simply add +1. 4+1=5. This 5 is the exponent on the 10. So far, we have
      ? x 10^-5 (keep OG sign)
      Now to solve for the ?
      4.3 = acquired exponent minus 0.n -> we are solving for n
      thus, 4.3 = 5-0.n -> n=7
      Final answer is 7x10^-5 ,,,,, this whole process is actually the opposite of solving -log(7x10^-5) which yields 4.3
