10 divided by 10 cubed = ? many are going to get this WRONG!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I was a B+ student in Math in High School until I hit ‘New Math’. I had a lot of turmoil going on at home so there was no help there. I tried going through counselors at school, hoping to find some tutoring. Somehow there was no real guidance (counselor didn’t do anything, said she couldn’t help) and the ball was dropped. Finally, once again I turned to my teacher and though he was aware of my efforts he told me to drop the class. It was SO demoralizing and facing no other sources of support… I did just that. (I couldn’t find a way forward so I considered myself incapable). At nearly 72 my inability to understand math has been my lifelong frustration. I have always been interested in career fields that required math and found I could never begin to consider them. I THANK YOU for your efforts on this channel I am a new GRATEFUL follower!!

[@meatdog]

I am 72 and can totally relate to the NEW Math they threw at us in the 7th grade! My parents didnt understand it and frankly did not bother trying to help me on ANYTHING related to school. Neither did my teacher. Her attitude was get it on your own or flunk. I made it thru but it left me not liking math. Then in college ad I progressed through calculus and the prof had the same attitude it was distressing. I was told by my elementary functions math prof that I solved problems with "brute force and ignorance ". But I arrived at the correct answers. Now at my leisure I love these math classes and find I'm quite good at it because theres no pressure and I'm doing it because I live it. I haven't missed an answer here yet.

Master each step, yup. 10/1000 is just as simple to reduce but I understand your method helps with the optics.

I just mentally used law of indices...10 = 10^1, so 10 ÷ 10^3 = 10^1 ÷ 10^3. As it's a division with numbers of the same base we subtract the indices: 1 - 3 = -2, so therefore 10^-2 = 0.01.

He then Makes it easy to learn/ understand rules when he explains why the rule exists by showing 10/(10*10*10) and how 10 on top and one on bottom cancel out because 10/10 is same as 1.

Super simple we have x ^ m divided by x ^ n. When we have this situation the answer becomes x ^ (m - n). Yes, it is possible to have a negative answer so plug in 1 for m, 3 for n and 10 for x. We get 10 ^ -2. When we have a negative exponent it means to take the reciprocal of it and then apply the power. So 10 ^ -2 is (1/10 * 1/10) which of course equals 1/100

The answer is .01: 10 cubed is 1000. 10/1000- take 10 and move the decimal to the left 3 places. So you get .01.

[@blkwarriorspirit5528]

What can be confusing to some is the expression itself. This same expression can be rewritten as 10/10^3

[@scottbrooks6758]

10÷10³=10÷1000=0.01 came up with it via 1000th of 10.. you definitely made that another harder than it need to be.. I found math to be very boring when teachers made the problems longer than is needed. Its easier to learn when simplified.

I thought the answer would have been .01 as a numeric solution. PEMDAS dictates the equation is 10 divided by 1000, using a fraction the represent the answer seems ambiguous unless it was required that the correct answer be represented this way. Another cool vid though....

[@billmorrison8292]

Is this a US thing, showing answers as a fraction rather than a decimal. In my day this would have been considered an incomplete answer, unless you were told to express the answer as a fraction.

[@idlesquadron7283]

not really i just like fractions lel

[@roncouch]

Guess you’ll no doubt move on, in the next approach, which is to amend the notation to 10x(10 raised to the power -3) and subtract the indices of 10 to reach the answer?

[@destinyreturns4885]

Got this one quickly, but I did remember your pemdas example from a previous lesson.

[@jackievanburen9301]

Could also cancel out 1in the exponen making calculations more efficient, make it 1/100.

[@pinkfox5651]

Is this the similar but the American version of what we have in the UK called BODMAS, as it certainly sounds like it? Brackets Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction

[@idlesquadron7283]

Yes! Those acronyms sum of the "order of operations"

[@Jim-tv2tk]

Wow, you made that very complicated. Mental it takes like 2 seconds to solve. Was expecting some kind of twist.

[@fromtheheavenlyrealms8613]

Thank you! It's been a while for me. You woke my brains up.

[@meaty109]

I still dont see how you got to 1 ....I got what all these others got.(and using PEMDAS)... I'll watch again.

[@jeynes14]

Sorry, missed that, what did "E" stand for - powers I understand...
