    Thank you so much for your video! At the moment, I'm getting about 70-ish marks in my Maths papers so i don't know if I am someone suited for this video. However, I really enjoyed giving your question a try (I got it wrong the first time) and I was hoping to see more of them. The link in your description doesn't seem to work for the worksheets. Do you mind posting through another link so that I could have a look? Thank you so much and please keep on posting these videos - hoping to keep my brain occupied in the 3 months I'll have after my GCSEs!

      Sorry to add on, after looking at the second question I was trying to find a way using algebra to find the answer. I know you mentioned the existence of an equation which can help find the answer. Could you please tell me what it is too? I don't prefer the current method since I just feel like it's 'brute force' to find the answer. Thanks!

    How would you work out the second question using a formula?

    • @eternity_hour
      @eternity_hour  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When I said formula, I should have said algorithm. There are several and are listed here:

      It’s a very powerful tool and result which extends far beyond integers

    need the 8/9 so i can do further for A-level

      Good luck, further maths is a great A-level that will push your maths to 1st year degree level in some places so be prepared!

    can someone explain the 1-root(1+root2) * -root2 = root(2=2root2) please

    • @eternity_hour
      @eternity_hour  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You have to rationalise the denominator twice, but there is some nice simplification.

    Great vid!
    Shouldn’t the answer for the first one be:
    -_/2 + _/(2+_/2)

      I see now. when you multiply by root2, inside the first root this appears as a 2. So sqrt(1+sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2) = sqrt(2*(1+sqrt(2)) = sqrt(2+ 2sqrt(2))
