Shocking! I really love your videos but as an English A-level teacher that teaches Calculus, Geometry, Algebra, Mechanics, Statistics... And so on. Do you specialise as teachers more I guess? I find it amazing that you don't know about cumulative frequency! Plot the CF at the end of the interval since you have reached that frequency only by the time you reach the end of that interval. Use the graph to estimate the quartiles by going across from the CF axis (vertical) to the line then down to the horizontal axis and the value of Q1 and Q3 etc. Props to you for putting yourself out there with this one!

Full explanation of question 10: a) Cumulative means everything up to that point, so to find the cumulative frequency, you take the sums of the frequencies up to that point. If the frequencies are (2, 4, 5, 3, 2, 4), the cumulative frequencies are (2, 6, 11, 14, 16, 20) Conversely, the frequency values will be equal to the difference between each step in the cumulative frequency (with the first frequency being equal to the first cumulative frequency) b) The cumulative frequency graph is a line graph, where you draw the cumulative frequency values as points at the end of each range, and connect the dots (with a smooth curve). Because the first value range is 0

As a maths teacher in the UK, I would recommend trying the A-Level Mathematics and/or A-Level Further Mathematics (for advanced students) papers.

@TheMightyHams4 ай бұрын
@@KZbinchannel-fb9yd It's difficult to judge because your naming schemes are different to ours. UK schools tend to emphasise giving students a wide range of subjects up until 16, and then they specialise. So while you might be ahead at 16 years old, any UK students who progress with maths after 16 will be doing maths as one of only 3-5 total subjects that they will study for the next two years. I've had a look through the pre-calc page on Khan's Academy and I believe a few of the topics are covered at GCSE level. I don't believe limits, matrices or complex numbers are included in that. GCSE students also (I believe) have the option to do GCSE Further Maths which covers a lot of the pre-calc stuff. A-level Maths covers the rest of the pre-calc stuff and brings you up to a decent standard in the introductions of calc 1 but will also split that qualification evenly with statistics/mechanics. A-level students (16-18) also have the option of doing A-level Further Maths that will complete most of Calculus 1 and some Calculus 2 (I think), although that's only 1/3 of the syllabus as students are also expected to cover both mechanics and probability & statistics. Most UK STEM degrees will cover calc 1 and 2 (and 3) in the first year anyway to make sure everyone is up to speed depending on where they had their education. I'm a final year Mechanical Engineering student and I haven't done any maths modules since 2nd year of uni. They weren't called calculus 1-3 for me, just engineering maths 1 and 2, and covered up to fourier, laplace, taylor/mclauran, 2nd order ODEs, vector calc, volume & surface integrals, stokes, and partial diff 2 and some extra modelling/stats stuff that's only relevant for my course. Edit: There were reforms in 2017 that changed the syllabus so now there's a bunch of stuff with algorithms and modelling and I believe the calculus has been stepped up. Hopefully someone who's a current student can offer more.

@@KZbinchannel-fb9yd No you don't lmao you're only required to take AP Calc 1 and 2 before college right really? Comparing a few students who will take college classes 4 years early and saying that it is representative of the US education system is delusional. A level FM contains elements of linear algebra (which there isn't an AP course for if I'm correct, meaning that it isn't taught in high schools usually?) as well as requiring two optional modules in either even more pure maths not in the core pure (includes taylor series and some other calculus, some basic group theory and modular arithmetic) or in statistics or mechanics. But then, A level FM doesn't include some parts of calc 1 such as epsilon-delta definition of a limit. As far as I can tell the A level FM is harder in some ways and easier in others than the AP courses which high school students are taking. Honesly just quit lying through your teeth and spreading misinformation. Students aren't consistently taking calc 1 at 14 in US high schools.

For the vectors length ratios, you can use simulator triangles as the vectors are multiples of each other. Thus you have DE : DF = 1 : (3.5-1)[1] = 1 : 2.5 = 2 : 5 [1] As EF is 3.5 times the length DE, and as FDE are on a straight line, DF must be 3.5 less the DE part, ie 3.5-1.

Q15. I think I heard you say that a and b are unit vectors. The arrows would have been appropriate. All vectors in R^2 and be represented by a single point if the initial point is the origin. (4,5) and are 2 popular notations to represent these "algebraic vectors". So the vector joining A(2,3) to B(6,5) can be represented by the SINGLE vector AB = (6-2,5-3) = (4,2). Where the initial point is now at the origin (0,0). So in R^2: 1) If 2 vectors are scalar multiples of each other, they are collinear and therefore any linear combination will still be collinear with the original 2. This pair forms a "linearly dependent" pair. -2(4,1) + 3(8,2) = (16,4) = 4(4,1). Any linear combination will always be stuck on this line. 2) If a and b are not collinear then they form an "independent pair" called a BASIS for R^2. This means that any other vector in R^2 can be expressed as a linear combination of the basis pair. If a and b are STANDARD unit basis vectors then a = (0,1) and b = (1,0). All Vectors in R^2 can now be expresses as a linear combination of the basis pair a and b. This still works for the non-standard basis pair, like (2,3) and (-1,4). But We usually express a basis pair as unit vectors on the co-ordinate axes. AB and AC clearly have linear combinations that are scalar multiples. Therefore AB and CD must also be scalar multiples of each other and point in the same direction. Since they share a common point(A), then A,B, and C must be collinear. Note: if vector CD = -3* vector EF, then they point in the opposite.directions and CD is 3 times longer than EF.. I used to reach all this stuff (also in R^3) in high school - for like 30+ years.Let me know if you want to know about non co-planar vectors and basis triplets in R^3.

Great exercise primarily because students can understand your thought process as you were thinking aloud instead of just solving problems. Most of the time teachers just solve, but never share each thought involved in the solution process. In other words, I think it's more important to first teach APPROACH to problems rather than solutions. Just as an example, an APPROACH to solving 100 problems might only take 20 minutes while solving 100 problems can take hours, but the benefit to the student is learning how to think and how to tackle a problem. After a while, students will see repetition in the APPROACH to solving similar problems, and that's more than half the job since it's just simple math after that. Anyhow, I enjoyed how you were THINKING 🤔 ABOUT THE PROBLEM since you never saw it before, and I believe there's more learning that way for the student who's weak in math. Great job!

I solved the Question 21 using calculus by imagining an x-y-diagram, where the middle circle is centered at (0|0) and can therefore be described by x^2 +y^2 = 16. The shaded area is the area of this circle minus two times the ellipsoid area. A quarter of this ellipsoid are can be described as the integral of sqrt (16-x^2) from 2 to 4, which by trig sub (x = 4 sin (u)) corresponds to 16 times the integral of (cos(u))^2 from pi/6 to pi/2. Using integration by parts the integral can be evaluated as (8pi/3) - 2sqrt(3) (approx. 4,91). Now we just have to subtract 8 times this integral from the area of the circle and we get 16sqrt(3) -(16pi/3) (approx. 10,96 cm^2). I hope i am correct.🙂

I used to teach year 7 through 13 (Oxbridge Entrance) maths here in the UK. We don't specialise but do it all from arithmetic through algebra, stats, geometry, calculus etc. I know in the USA teachers "specialise" by year and/or topic so it was interesting to see an obviously accomplished mathematician struggle with fairly simple questions (e.g.15, 16). Lack of practice, I guess. Q3. It is easier to see that C:V = 3:7 means C=3/(3+7) and V=7/(3+7) Giving C= 160*3/10= 48 (which you eventually got) Q5 an alternative is the exterior angle of a regular polygon =360/n (n=number of sides) so interior is 180-360/n; giving 120 and 108. Q9 It's nice to know you are human and make arithmetic mistakes, as I do. Q12 I think the examiners would want working (not following a rule) to get to 17/990. So multiply by 10 (because we want integers) and 1000 (integers with aligned recurring decimal) and subtract the smaller from the larger. Gives (1000-10)x=117.1717...- 1.1717...=116 => 116/990 = 58/495 Q15 I would show that the two lines have the same start point and the same slope so must lie on a line (which you effectively did by showing one is a multiple of another). Q16 Simpler to see P(T)=0.75, P(notT)=0.25; P(P)=x, P(notP)=1-x; P(1 only)= P(T)*P(notP) + P(notT)*P(P) 0.36=0.75(1-x) + 0.25x => 0.5x=0.39 or P(P)=x=0.78 Q21 The way into the problem is to realise that we create an inscribed regular hexagon made up of equilateral triangles using compasses stepping around a circle (the middle one, say). The top shaded region = 1 equilateral triangle (side 4) -2*segment (the two other circles) + segment (middle circle) = 1 triangle - 1 segment Area of triangle: I think of 30,60,90 triangles as 1,root 3, 2 triangles so area=4*root 3 (base=4, height=2*root 3) Area of segment: = area of sector - area of triangle = (1/6)pi*r^2 - 4*root3 = (8/3)pi - 4*root3 Area of shaded area = 2*area of top shaded area = 2*(triangle - segment)=2*(4*root3 -( (8/3)pi-4*root3) )=2*(8*root3 - (8/3)pi) =16*root3 -(16/3)pi

To get the correct proportions you can do the following: Place the point A on the paper. Travel 2 units right and label point C. From C travel 3 units left to final point B. You can now see that from the picture that C lies to the left of A and |AB| is 1. If you switch the negative sign to the the 2, the picture gets flipped, but still in the correct proportions. Here's a typical question I would have asked my students in grade 11. Given the points A(3,4) and B(9,12), find the point C so that C divides AB in the ratio 2:-5. Great video material.

It is better to add both equations like line DE =3e+6f and line EF=10.5e - 21f then the question is the ratio of Line DF:DE therefore first find the equation of line DF =7.5e -15f ,it is found just by adding both equations D-------E---------F and hence the DF to DE becomes 2.5:1

For anyone wondering, here in the UK you take standardised exams in Year 11 and 13, or in the US, 10th and 12th grade. These can heavily impact your job and higher education opportunities. There are two papers for GCSE Mathematics (Year 11 standardised exams) - Foundation, which caps at a mediocre score overall but is significantly easier, and Higher, which caps at the highest possible score (100%/grade 9). There is also a special subject only offered to students very gifted in mathematics known as 'Further Maths'. This also has an A-level (Year 13 exam). Having good Further Maths qualifications is highly regarded and is definitely something you would want if you aim to teach mathematics at higher education.

for number 3 i think most people do it by "assuming" 3 and 7 have variables, like its unlikely there are just 3 and 7 of the cars and fence and add up to 160, so we know its a multiple of 3 and 7 that add up to 160, and since its the same multiple (so in the ratio they can be divided back to 3:7) its basically 3x : 7x, where 3x + 7x = 160, hence x = 16, going back, it means the cars are 3x = 3(16) = 48

A lot of comments on how difficult Q21 is. I don't agree, it seems straight forward to me. Your error with the area of the sector of a circle didn't get picked up due to using numbers rather than letters. Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away my maths teacher warned me to solve everything algebraically and only then to substitute the numbers. He argued that it was easier to spot errors and I agree with him and follow his advice to this day. Well that's my penny's worth. Thanks for the video. It would be interesting to compare the 'O' level circa 1970 with the current GCSE.

so total is 160 and you have a proportion of 3 : 7 so total of 10 portions 160 / 10 = 16 per portion 3 portions of 16 = 48 cars 1/8 = E (electric) 2/8 = D (diesel) 5/8 = P (petrol = gas) 48 cars / 8 = 6 5*6 = 30 petrol cars.

Was a fun LIVE!! Unfortunately, for the final question, you made 2 mistakes. The first one that some people in the LIVE chat noted was that you put /4 instead of /3 at the end. The more crucial mistake that I didn't notice until I looked up the answer is that the area of a sector was actually ½ × theta × r². The formula you used was for the length of the arc! So, the formula should look like this: R1 = 8π/3 R2 = R1 - 4√3 = 8π/3 - 4√3 R3 = 4π - R1 - R2 = 4√3 - 4π/3 Shaded Region = 4 × R3 = 16√3 - 16π/3 Still glad to have been here for the last few problems! :)
