thank you for the solid explanations!

[@ColfaxMath]

Glad it helped, good luck

[@avaginsburg7285]

thank you!!! do you have any mechanical reasoning explanations for ibew 134? lots of gears, pulleys, etc.

[@ColfaxMath]

I don't, sorry to say.

[@briancarty9454]

That second question is bad. Compressing the 2 springs in parallel would mean half the load on each spring, so only 1/4 the compression compared to the two in series…. Unless they were saying each spring compressed 6in when in series. The way the problem was worked out was compressing the springs individually, not in parallel (IMO)

[@ColfaxMath]

Yes, very good point

[@gross_obese_feminist3336]

I'm confused about #9...how is it not D? If you curl the shape so that the edges touch, there wouldn't be a point at the top

[@ColfaxMath]

It's a tricky problem, it says if the longest sides were to continue what would it look like. So the answer is C because that is the only one where the sides meet at a point, it is out of scale but the only drawing where the longest sides meet

[@dylanfoveaux3256]

The question is “ When the two longest sides touch what will the shape be” it doesn’t say if they were to continue. The correct answer is D. Regardless, I love your channel. Thank you

[@ColfaxMath]

@@dylanfoveaux3256 very good point, thank you

[@dee9d588]

I'm guessing there's no answer key to resolve this difference cause C makes sense to me.

[@Raging-Lion]

@@dylanfoveaux3256 If the two longest sides touch, they become longer sides? Sorry dawg, I'm sticking with C for this one. They don't need to continue, you can just get rid of the top line and push them together. Boom, you get C. The only way to get D is if you elongate, and they aren't even touching lol.

Thank you man you rock! I’m taking the operator engineering test soon. Do you know of any other books or study guide that will teach me everything I need to know for the test?

[@ColfaxMath]

Good luck, I saw a pretty good study guide on Amazon, let me look it up and get to you on that

[@andy_o6133]

@@ColfaxMath thank you Mr.Colfax . I’m going to get a tutor and everything, I figure if I can score really good, there should be no reason to give me a job. I’m an operator at a small antifreeze refinery now but they are closing down so I’m going to shoot my shot for the union

If I emailed you a study guide would you be able to help me out? I have an aptitude test on the 14th on November and would really love to score high.
