After a long day of doing calculus, it's fun to go back to approximating irrationals in a new way. Thanks Steve. Stay being a Gigachad.

[@volodymyrgandzhuk361]

Fun fact: if you try to approximate √75 with the tangent/differential method Steve showed in one of his videos, and then do the same thing for the square root of the result (because the 4th root is basically the square root of the square root), you will get exactly what he got here the first time he applied the Newton method formula.

It's because it is the same principle but newtons method just iterates it

I have another method. The closest perfect power is 81 which is 3^4. Now we know that 81>75 so 3>fourth root(75). Now that means obviously, 3-fourth root(75)>0 . now raise this to the power 4. This becomes, 156-108 cube root(75)+270 root3-60 fourth root (675)>0 now upon some rearrangement we get that, cuberoot75>156+270 root3- fourth root(675) all divided by 108. This is tedious but it gives the very close approximation of fourth root of 75. Please correct me if there are errors

3:45 reading 2.9444444 aloud, reminded me about that olympiad problem you also did (you were also saying number 4 a lot in that video). Calculate the sum of digits of the sum of the digits of the sum of the digits of the number 4444⁴⁴⁴⁴(i think).

I was working on the derivative on natural log in calculus and attempted to find the derivative of y=ln([x(x^(2)+1)^2)/sqrt(2x^(2)-1)] and I would like to see your approach. (sorry if it is hard to read based on how I typed it.

just split it up using logarithmic properties and take the derivative from there

fourth root of 75 is same as 75^1/4. this means to mupltiple 75 by 1/4 of itself, so 17.5/4 = 18.75

[@algirdasltu1389]

No what you just did is simple mutiplication. 18.75^4 =/= 75

Loved it!

just when i thought this would be good for olympiad... also i just realised olympiad questions would probably have all the √s cancel out or be a perfect square

13 This process’s load deflection curve is sawtooth like in your video Mechanical properties related to a unique variation of Euler’s Contain Column studies. It shows how materials (representing fields) naturally respond to induced stresses in a “quantized“ manor. This process, unlike harmonic oscillators can lead to formation of stable structures. The quantized responses closely models the behaviors known as the Quantum Wave Function as described in modern physics. The effect has been used to make light weight structures and shock mitigating/recoiled reduction systems. The model shows the known requirement of exponential load increase and the here-to-for unknown collapse of resistance during transition, leading to the very fast jump to the next energy levels. This is shown by the saw-tooth graph’s bifurcation during the quantum jump. In materials the process continues till the load passes the ultimate tensile strength. Fields are not bounded by these conditions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raOlpKSfepWpfZYsi=waT8lY2iX-wJdjO3

Imagine using a calculator to use newtons method but not being able to calculate sqrt(75) 😄

Imagine saying the fourth root of 75 =sqrt(75)😂😂

Newtons method doesn't need more than the four basic mathematical operations: -+*/

​@@Muck-qy2oo and because of it it is used by computers to calculate roots of any degree to very high accuracy in many iterations

well if i want to approx it in my head i will still stick to try and error i guess.

We may use a general formula to find the nth root of x given that x^n.=N. General formula ------------ x=[(n-1)x+{N/x^(n-1)}]/n m+1 m m Here n=4, N=75. Taking m =1 & x=3 we get 1 x=[(4-1)3+{75/3^3}]/4 =2.94444444 2 x=2.9428322282 3 x=2.942830956 4 x=2.942830956 5 Hence x=2.942830956.

Just binary search tho?

[@kienthanhle6230]

This method sometimes works way better than binary search tho. I tested both binary search and Newton's method to calculate sqrt(2) and I found out that Newton method converges way faster than binary search (e.g the Newton's method double the correct digit every round of calculation, while binary search got 1 more correct digit every 3 round of calculation)

These are useless, since it is too cumbersome to really compute in their mind or by hand each of these steps. If you used a calculator then that's ok, but then if I had a calculator I would just type in "75 (x^y) 0.25" and get the answer in one shot. This is OK to show that the method works in principle. You should choose the example of a function that is complicated enough that there is not a known way to compute the root easily even with a calculator. As for this function here is how I can do it in my mind with even fewer steps and without a calculator, that is pretty much analogous to Newton's method: 75^0.25 = sqrt(sqrt(75)) = sqrt(sqrt(25*3)) = sqrt(5 * sqrt(3)) = sqrt(10 * 1.732 / 2) = sqrt(10 * 0.866) = sqrt(8.66) Let: x = sqrt(8.66) x^2 = 8.66 Let x = k - y, where y is much smaller than k x^2 = (k - y)^2 = 8.66 k^2 - 2 k y + y^2 = 8.66 2 k y = k^2 - 8.66 + y^2 y = (k^2 - 8.66) / (2 k) + y^2 / (2 k) Since y is small, y^2 will be tiny and can be ignored as an approximation, giving, y = (k^2 - 8.66) / (2 k) We know that x is just slightly lower than 3, so lets start with approximation of k = 3 y = (3^2 - 8.66) / (2 * 3) y = (9 - 8.66) / 6 y = 0.34 / 6 = 34 / 600 = 17 / 300 = 5.666666 / 100 = 0.0566666.... y = 0.0566666.... x = 3 - y x = 3 - 0.0566666.... x = 2.94333333.... This is already very close to the correct answer of: 2.9428309563827118453573116740982 | ERROR | = 0.0005023769506214879760216592351 This is correct to 3 decimal places already, which is very good, but we could approximate much better with putting back the ignored term. Lets go back to equation before approximation: y = (k^2 - 8.66) / (2 k) + y^2 / (2 k) y = (current value of y) + (current value of y)^2 / 6 y = 0.0566666.... + (0.0566666....)^2 / 6 y = ~ 0.0566666.... + (0.06)^2 / 6 y = ~ 0.0566666.... + 0.0036 / 6 y = ~ 0.0566666.... + 0.0006 y = ~ 0.0572666.... x = 3 - y x = 3 - 0.0572666.... x = 2.9427333... | ERROR | = 0.0000976230493785120239783407649 This is correct to 4 decimal places If you want one more iteration, then choose k value equal to x, or at least much closer to x than before e.g. choose k2 = 2.95 based on above x approximation and similarly iterate on: y2 = (k2^2 - 8.66) / (2 k2) and x2 = k2 - y2 Next iteration after that would be: k3 = x2 y3 = (k3^2 - 8.66) / (2 k3) and x3 = k3 - y3 ...
