There's not too many channels that go over specific questions like this and with simple instructions as well, thank you.

On the last question could you take the square root 400 to give 20/6xsquared that simplifies to 10/3xsquared? And thank you for all your incredible videos. Hands down the best GCSE Maths channel on KZbin.

can someone explain why the formula is y=k/x(power2) when i searched up the formula for inverse proportion it does not say anything about the power 2

If it is inversely proportional to the square of x then the formula will have to be amended to suit this 😁🙏🏼

For the 3rd question, couldn't you just write h=60/0.5 x sqaure root of t ?

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

You could but you shouldn’t ever leave a decimal within a fraction for a final answer 😁🙏🏼

[@diegomandragora4327]

​@@TheGCSEMathsTutorNooooo. Wrong answer! We can't just take something out of the denominator and do multiplication with it at the end.I know it might looks like as if that implied multiplication between 0.5 and root t has has just gone vanished, but we must not forget that our numerator has effectively doubled. Please edit the comment! 😮

Hi.. can someone pls tell are these questions foundation or higher?

[@christianscottmcwall9963]

for the last question can you simplify it even further by square rooting 100 and 9 to make 10/3xsquared

[@kirstenlillie2918]

No, because then you would have an equation for the square root of y, not y! When we're simplifying a fraction (dividing top and bottom by 4, in this example), we're not changing the value of the RHS of the equation. If we take a square root of the RHS though, then we must also do the same to the LHS. I agree though, that it is very tempting :) Mathematicians love to spot that kind of pattern and it is certainly true that root y = 10/3x^2.

The surface area of a sphere is directly proportional to the square of its radius. A sphere of radius 10 cm must be increased to a radius of x cm if its surface area is to be doubled. Find x. Please solve this question for me. I shall be grateful

hi, yes this is way too late to be useful for you but maybe it'll be useful for someone else - answer is 14.142

[@thefreeze6023]

On the first question, wouldn't a second answer be positive 15/2, seeing as x could originally have been -15/2, the negative of which is 15/2?

yes its either posiitve or negative 15/2
