    I remember doing this in 3rd and 4th grade back in the 70's . It's true what they say if you don't use it you lose it! My 13 year old son is doing the new math
    and is way over my head. Awesome video!

    It makes me feel more confident about my math when I have a teacher who gives partial credit. I was asked to find the common height of two triangles with different bases in trigonometry class. I did not know how long the bases were, but I knew that one base was 40 meters longer than the other, so this could be expressed as X and X+40. The variable, H, represented the height. I had my system of equations, got the H alone to equal a sum of X multiples and plain units, combined, plugged in that combination for H, and solved the variable X. This was a six point problem on my trig exam and I was lucky that I had a teacher who would give me three points out of six for this one problem. What I did wrong was I have failed to answer the question. I have successfully solved the variable X, but X represented the base of the smaller triangle and the question was all about the height. At that point, I still needed to use one more tangent function as the still unknown height over the previously solved base, then multiply the tangent function times the base to get the height. Whether if you are in calculus, algebra, geometry, or pre-algebra, you will encounter similar situations like this, especially with word problems and if you are going to get a perfect score on your exams, you are going to take the extra steps necessary to answer the questions.

    Thank you so much dear Sir. But I found the first example really confusing, although that's expected in mathematics, especially since the order of operations were not followed exactly as intended. I see that in American educational system, PEMDAS is used as Order of Operations, and I find that quite interesting. However, from my Nigeria educational system, we use BODMAS. Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. Hence, when I did the first example, I followed the BODMAS operations exactly and came out with the answer as 16. I am happy that I can have both operations at the back of my mind.
    Thanks once again.

    • @horusfalcon
      @horusfalcon ปีที่แล้ว +1

      PEMDAS and BODMAS are equivalent expressions. If you are comfortable using BODMAS, and understand how left-to-right operations are the "default" in the absence of operations of overriding precedence, then you should do well.

      BODMAS (or PEMDAS) should be written BO(DM)(AS). The parenthesis showing that multiplication and division are at the same level. As is subtraction and addition.
      The definition is not clear either. How to calculate 1/2x when x=3?
      Is it (1/2)*3 = 3/2 or 1/(2*3) = 1/6? Numerous text books in math will interpret 1/2x as 1/(2x), not (1/2)*x. So PEMDAS is not a clear answer.

      What we have is (-25) - (7) which is the same as -25 + -7 because the definition of subtraction is, "Adding the opposite". So, instead of subtracting positive 7, we may rewrite as adding negative 7. Subtraction is nothing more than a form of addition.

    No discussion on order of operations is complete without mentioning that PEMDAS is not the only parsing style used in the world. In fact, PEMDAS is only about 125 years old, being first introduced by math textbooks in English speaking countries. It's not clear why PEMDAS became the defacto parsing style other than that's what the textbooks taught. The previous style -- and that used in the majority of the world to this day -- prioritizes multiplies over divides with all multiplies being evaluated first regardless of where it occurs in an expression.. This style was and is preferred by physicists and some mathematicians because it makes expressions less messy and easier to typeset. PEMDAS found a welcome home with computer programming languages because these parse a text line at a time and there is no way to represent the divide bar
    (edit symbol vinculum) which can group numerators and denominators of unlimited lengths. This is opposed to the inline divide symbol (dash with two dots, edit symbol obelus) which cannot group on its own. Because the ubiquitous original ASCII character set does not include obelus, programming languages have adopted '/' as the divide symbol. It is common misconception that the divide bar and obelus imply different operator priority but this is not true. It is true that some high-end calculators recognize the two parsing styles and permit the user to specify which is used to evaluate expressions. This is required for international markets and may be the source of the misconception. Because western nations dominated computer development PEMDAS has become more widely known in non-PEMDAS countries. But be aware that programmers and mathematicians treat this as a religious matter and will claim the parsing style they were taught in grade school is the one true method of mathematics.The takeaway is that everyone who writes, evaluates and particularly teaches expressions must be aware of this dichotomy and avoid ambiguity by explicitly grouping symbols to coerce a specific evaluation. To not heed this warning is to ultimately cause a disaster as two persons of different educations may well compute wildly different numbers for the same expression.

    What error?!? Please explain what is wrong with doing the implied multiplication in Line Four (which is of higher order, and is on the left, to boot) before doing the indicated addition (the + 1) to the right? At the point where the expression in [ ] degenerates to a single term those [ ] become irrelevant to further operations EXCEPT that their presence in 2[-32] implies a multiplication operation. The result is correct. That is the best test of whether or not the order of operations was observed in evaluating the expression. You have left me somewhat confused.
