    Even after 4 years, your content is the best that is available on TH-cam and that too for free. I doubt that even paid courses can cover all the nuances and teach so well. Thank you so much brother!! :) Your videos deserve millions of views

    Thanks Philip! For the question given, I assumed the distance to workplace as 4 miles and distance back as 8 miles and had the same answer.

  • @lancelotvictor6013
    @lancelotvictor6013 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I think i get this. Whenever you're asked for average speed or speed, just know that your answer will be close to the smaller time or speed given in the question.....

    Great work. I think you should make the more videos on distance, speed, time like one car overtake other car, two opposite cars coming towards with different speed etc.

  • @abhishekbhatnagar94
    @abhishekbhatnagar94 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi, Love your videos. I found a way to do the last question in a faster way. We use the trick that adding both scenarios of time will give you the total time ie t1 + t2 = total time (T)
    So the equation becomes :: 1/4 + 2/x = 3/8 (time of first journey = 1/4, time of second journey = 2/x and Total time, T = 3/8). Here we can even use your trick to make up a distance but the ratio would stay the same (1d + 2d = 3d)
    Solving this equation will give you x = 16. :)

  • @BLaw7
    @BLaw7 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    If I did the second problem using a matrix I would get 6 as speed on the way back instead of 16. If I did it with this trick the answer is indeed 16. I'm not sure what I did wrong using the matrix approach. Any idea. My r = 4 for "to work" and r = x as "on the way back" Distance=D for "to work" and Distance=2D for "on the way back". T=D/4 for "to work" and T=2D/x for "on the way back". I plugged into avg speed formula to solve for x and got 6.

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I used your method just now and got 16 as x. Did you get 3d/(d/4 + 2d/x). D cancels (which is why we pick a d!) And then fractions join to get 3x/(x+8)/4x. Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by reciprocal, giving 12x/(x +8) = 8, or 12x = 8x + 64, or 4x =64, x = 16. Let me know of this makes sense. And also just pick a distance next time!

  • @likithkumar957
    @likithkumar957 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Since distance is common can't we directly use HM(harmonic mean) that way it's much simpler than this and saves a lot of time if distance is variable aswell we can slightly modify the equation and use right , sir which do u think is ther better method?

    How long do you think it will take the decimal to shift two points to the right (in the number of subscriber)?
    I say, by Sept'2020.
    Fun-Fact: this is the first video of yours on which I got to see a dislike.

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Likely much much longer. Very hard to grow fast in the educational field.

    • @tosinghsatyam
      @tosinghsatyam 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TheTestedTutor Maybe that's true. But in my opinion, I think you will grow significantly faster owing to the fact there is hardly any bullshit in your videos. Most of the times you cut to chase and go straight from one topic to another. This is the only reason I usually prefer watching your videos. With time I am sure you will develop new techniques to entice new viewers and solve problems more innovatively. But please try to keep as much less crap as possible.
      May the Force be With You.
