A mathmatician that can ACTUALLLY TEACH is needed among the classrooms!!

[@mitchelldye]

Thank you! Although technically I'm a physicist so maybe that's why lmao

[@rikie_6798]

Bro you should meet ritik sir from pw He is also a great teacher aka( babua ) But there's one condition you should know Hindi language well

[@vivsxii]

paper 1 was tragic i really hope i do well in paper 2 and 3 i want at least a grade 8 in maths!!

[@OilRig-1]

me too 😭 i need that 8 for further maths

[@sz_7.]

could sit for hours and listen to you teach, you're not like those lifeless math creators but include examples and puns. love the format, never lose this energy and keep it up!

[@mitchelldye]

thank you! I really appreciate that

[@amykane6]

I normally do rlly well in maths exams, but the last few questions of paper 1 I just couldn't see a way of solving them which is so frustrating because I could do them outside of the exam!! Do you have any tips for dealing with this so I can confidently answer all the last few questions without panicking/ seeing the question in a different way which may make it easier to solve? also, thank you so much for this it was very helpful

[@francesca_dogs]

THIS IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE! Maths is probably my strongest subject, but when I got into the last few questions, I started panicking and just couldn't solve them. It is so frustrating because I could probably have done those questions, had I not been in a terrifying exam environment. Not praying on the downfall of others but I think that it was pretty difficult for most people so hopefully the grade boundaries change accordingly? Best of luck!!!!

[@mitchelldye]

As you and francesca said, you already know the reason, it's because you panic. Whenever I get into an exam (lol) I just reason that there's literally nothing else I can do besides try my best and break things down. It'll still happen a bit, especially because you're more relaxed outside of the exam and have had more time to think about the question, but just try and enter that "zen-like" state in the exam. Also, practice.

[@Daniplaysrobloxx]

This is so real. I come out of the exam, do a similar question that was supposedly 'hard' to do in the exam in a matter of minutes. Its the exam air. Its really annoying.

[@mitchelldye]

@@Daniplaysrobloxx It really is

[@amykane6]

​@@mitchelldye thank you so much, will definitely try!

[@MarvelManz42]

First one was definitely the hardest, didn’t know that line equation thing when you equated the tangent to the radius to find where they meet.

[@mitchelldye]

Definitely an interesting one!

perfect timing Sir can u pls make such videos frequently pls. i have my maths exam next Monday and ur videos really help! thank you

[@mitchelldye]

I have another coming out Friday. I also linked a bunch of others in the description if this helps

[@withoutname3922]

23:54 why doesnt it work when you combine the two triangles and do 1/2 x 24 x 24 x sin(60) instead to find the area ?

[@arslanshakil1115]

I flopped paper one probably a 5 and same goes for paper 2 maybe even a 4. What do I have to get in paper 3 to get a 6 or 7 overall

[@muhammad-zaynpalejwala5533]

revise : )

[@YahviKhimasia]

For question 21, do you not need to use x^2 + y^2 = 4? I don't understand why 2 is not the radius since the square root of 4 = 2. Thanks!

[@aaryaiscooler]

this guy deserves an award bro

[@jojohn3865]

Thank you very much ! If I’m not mistaken, a version of Q 14 came up in paper 2.

[@fixeddragon861]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this vid. It has really helped my understanding (and boosted my ego too :) ). Circles are indeed horrid and I wish the best of luck to everyone for tomorrow and the rest of the exams!!

[@mitchelldye]

I hope it went well! And yes adaptability is key

[@slothinhoth6299]

Has helped alot, needed a clear video like this to just make it slightly more clear for me, just got to continue with the revision for everything

[@mitchelldye]

Glad I can help!

[@zanealcazar5579]

Hello there, I have been watching alot of your videos and they are helping me alot. I am a higher student, and I want to understand why you wrote 10n = 7 (n+8). Why don't you just write 7 (n+8) = 10? Then you can simplify and you will get -46/7. Thanks

[@hak-t5j]

he cross multiplied so it would be 10 x n = 10n

[@5wholepizzas284]

19:06 since x^2 + y^2 = r^2 wouldn't u have to square root the 4 to get the radius ?

[@A1.6408]

you never need to work out the radius, that equation just tell us the origin of the circle is the centre

[@5wholepizzas284]

@@A1.6408 oh alr thanks

[@robcleaver4964]

Perhaps the easiest way to do the first question is to equate the area of the right angled triangle (0,0),(-20,0),(0,10) as 0.5*20*10 and as 0.5*r*h where h is the hypotenuse (easily seen to be root500 = 10root5) which gives r = 200/10root5 = 4root5 ie root 80 etc 🤠

[@indiasingh6891]

That was an amazing video Sir! Please make more of these! & God bless you!

[@vibhugoyal2529]

39:37 that question came up on the paper/ a question very similar to it.

love your videos ,Honestly. you desereve so much more views, paper 1 was not the best for me. , I actually need to secure more marks in paper 2 and paper 3 and these videos are helping me out so much I have actually been doing grade 9 questions from edexcel aiming for papers glad that you are making solutions to these

[@mitchelldye]

Thank you! Well done for moving forward and focusing on the next two papers, best thing you can do.

[@sv7178]

exactly the same situation here its helping soo much

[@jobleboble4137]

Please tell me what to do everyday from today in order to get a 7 in maths. Did aright in Paper 1, but with paper 2 next Monday and paper 3 later, I dont know how to revise.

[@bloc5422]

just do past papers and questions until you are confident in most topics, especially ones that didnt come up in paper 1 like vectors or circle theorems. and then when u do the test you should be good

[@mitchelldye]

What bloc said, I would also make sure your fundamentals in algebra and number are solid. i.e. can you solve quadratics, algebraic fractions, do compound interest etc.

[@jobleboble4137]

@@mitchelldye Thanks Mitchell and bloc. I ca. do algebraic fractions and compound interest but quadratics are quite hard. Hope when you wrote etc you dont mind telling me all I need to know which will 100% come up in paper 2.

How did you get -2 as reciprocal

[@mitchelldye]

It's the negative reciprocal, so flip 1/2 to get 2/1 (or 2) and make it negative

[@dbrehanpromo]

Don’t u need to add 37 to B for the bearing of Chorlton from Acton. I think the answer should be 98.6

Can you please walk through the grade 6 stuff if that’s okay? Or please tell me how much of the paper is grade 4-6 stuff

[@user-rg3si2dk3m]

thank you! very helpful

[@sayeed2713]

20:40 why didn’t u rationalise your gradient

[@mitchelldye]

Simply because it wasn't needed. Technically I should have if I wanted to be very mathematically rigorous

[@ThomasSlater-er7vg]

By the way, you can work out the perpendicular height on the parallelogram one because you can make a right angled triangle with hypotenuse (10-x) cm and an angle of 60 degrees and the height is just cos60 multiplied by (10-x)

[@ThomasSlater-er7vg]

There is a much easier way to do the congruent triangle question if you set AE equal to x, you get the area of the rectangle to be 12x which means AB equals 12 and therefore AE (and x) equals 36

[@Pabloise]

Defintely needed the paper for the circle trigonometry circle question to see the right angle triangle, I drew it out and used the wrong triangle

[@pythonian9977]

Would you say that this year's Paper 1 was harder than usual?

[@mitchelldye]

Honestly, I don't think it was harder than usual but it was very different than usual. I also think that the current year 11s find different things more difficult than previous year 11s, which is fair enough. Overall kinda hard to say honestly, it didn't have anything insane like some years

[@hurricane4912]

For the first question, when you drew the radius I realised that you can just use trigonometry to get 80, and I did. Only thing is, on the calculator you will have to use the answer button to get the correct answer, if you round it to 3 sf then you will probably get something like 79.9....

[@mitchelldye]

Yup, that works too!

[@sma1213___]

How did you use trigonometry to solve it?😭 like once you’ve found the gradient with rise/run what do you do afterwards. Can you please explain your method in some what of little detail

[@hurricane4912]

@@sma1213___ ok so ill divide this into steps: Firstly, the point (-20,0) is B, (0,10) is A and (0,0) is O. You can find either angle ABO or angle BAO to begin with by trigonometry. I used the tan inverse function with the fraction 10/20 to find angle ABO. I can do this because angle AOB is a right angle, and basic trigonometry as I know the segment BO is 20 and AO is 10. I get a value approximating 26.57 (2 d.p.), DON'T round this, use the answer button on your calculator to save it. Then I can find the radius using more trigonometry. Lets say that the tangent meets the radius (r) at point M with the coordinates (x,y), you don't need to find any coordinates for this method: they are all given in the question so I will use variables. Now you use the sin function (Note that this may only work if you start by finding angle ABO, you will have to use a slightly different method for starting with angle BAO). So basically, sin(x) = O/H. x is angle ABO (approx 26.57 but use ANS button), O is the radius, and H is 20 (given in question). To find the radius, you simply rearrange the formula to give 20sin(ABO) = r. You should get a value for r approximating to 8.94 (2 d.p. but again use the ANS button in the calculator to temporarily store this). This is basically root 80, so you know the radius is root 80. All you have to do now is square the exact answer, you will get 80, this is r squared. Therefore, as you know the centre is (0,0): you just say x^2 + y^2 = 80. It will be helpful to draw an annotated diagram with all the points as it will get slightly confusing.

[@hurricane4912]

@@sma1213___ btw you dont need to find gradient for this method.

[@sma1213___]

@@hurricane4912 omg thank you that’s simplified it so much better🙏 but I had a question about that sin(x) bit cause how does the question state that the hypothenuse is 20? It says y=-20 since the coordinates are (-20,0) so where did you get the 20 from. And when you inversed the tan function why did the 20 change to a positive number

[@withoutname3922]

On question “21” isnt the gradient of the tangent -3 square root of 7 over 7 instead of just -3 over 7. Because when you divide -1 by the gradient of the circle line it would give you -3 square root of 7 over 7

[@coverupper1354]

No you’re incorrect

[@coverupper1354]

[@muhammadhasaan3101]

Sir, on the second question on the second part while factoring, i got alternative values n^2-21x -4x-84 =0 n(n-21) -4(n-21) n-4=0 n-21=0 These are different values to yours 28 and 3 i often get alternative values. what is the problem to this sir?

[@mitchelldye]

The values you chose in the beginning are incorrect. They should add to -25 and multiply to -84. You chose -21 and -4, which do add to -25 but multiply to positive 84 not -84. If you want to do it that way you need to pick -28 and 3.

Its better not to factorize use the quadratic formula which is given in your formula sheet in the exam Or use the calculator trick you go on mode-> pick 5 EQN-> then enter your values

21 and -4 would not add to 25. Also this is actually why I'd always use a calculator to just do the quadratic formula, then you cant make a mistake
