YOUR videos are AMAZING!!!! I am giving my MCAT soon and cannot emphasize how good your videos are. please do not stop making them. You will definitely blow up soon :)
As always, this video is so helpful, thank you so much! I was always curious about squaring and cubing, but do you have any specific tips on how to cube root or square root a scientific notation number? Say that you have to find concentration of product concentration [X] given pH of x value and other terms. I sometimes ended up with an equation like x^2 = 1.2 x 10^4 I know that square rooting means dividing exponents by 2, but how does one deal with the 1.2? and say the exponent is odd. Do you have any tips for this?
I will eventually make a video on this concept, but here is how I would go about approaching this. For math such as √1.2 you can just estimate that to closest perfect square so in this case √1.2 = √1 = 1. We know that we rounded this down so I would expect the actual answer to be a bit bigger than 1 but that is good enough for the MCAT. When taking the square root or cube root of non-divisible number you will want to change the exponent by adding zeros to the number out front. For example, √5 x 10^-5 we will turn this into √50 x 10^-6. The √50 = √49 = 7 and the √10^-6 = 10^-3 so overall √5 x 10^-5 = 7 x 10^-3. You can use the same technique for cube roots, but I suspect that the math for cube roots would be easier since these values are harder to estimate. Hope that helps!
What about Ronna and Ronto ? The SI prefix name for 10^30 was originally proposed to be *Quecca* and then replaced by *Quetta* , since the former is inappropriate in some languages.
For now my current in-progress videos are mostly gen chem, math, and strategy. I will eventually get around to physics, but I don’t have anything planned at the present. If there is enough interest in physics I would be more than happy to cover topics during Monday live sessions. They aren’t as polished as the regular videos but I can get content out a lot faster since since I don’t have to create all the visuals, script them, master the audio, etc.
I found you on my last two weeks of studying for this MCAT, I take it next friday. Don't stop making these!
Good luck next Friday and thanks for leaving a comment!!!

Thank you so much!!!
Really appreciate your videos, i hope your channel gets even more traffic as it certainly deserves it
Thank you so much!!!

It does, thank you again!
Of course.

I only included the MCAT relevant units so poor Ronna got left out this time.
Thank you sooo much! By any chance will you be posting physics lessons? I’m horrible at it!
