It takes a good teacher to make sure students understand the process. Its not all about notes but patience & attention to students.

I’m gonna try college algebra for the 4th time and I’m 40 so I’m hoping this is my last time wasting money on remedial classes 😅

Ahh the reason 95% of people who wanted to go to college end up not going, myself included.

I’m about to start college at 26 and I am so rusty with my math…but I love math so I’m excited! Will be checking back on this channel for the next few years 😅

Thanks a lot, great to bring back old memories, 72 yrs old Mechanical Engineer with a Master Thesis in Calculus.,

Fortunately 95% of students do not need this level of math. What they do need is a excellent knowledge of basic math.

i love love love how you use mathematical terminology like “quadratic equation” or “exponential equation” it makes things so much easier.
yesterday was my first day in my college math class and it was essentially a review. and the teacher was just throwing equations up onto the board and he expected us to know already what they were called. and when i asked what type of equation was on the board, he basically told me that it should be general knowledge and i should already know what its called :/
i think that the math class that im in might be too advanced if i can barely keep up and if i cant tell the different between an exp. equation and a quad. equation

and especially if i have a teacher not willing to teach me the difference lol

I was horrible with math in high school. Mainly because I just didn't understand its relevance. Later, as I was introduced to mathematical applications on the job, I came to understand the importance of mathematics. I went to college and successfully completed algebra and trigonometry. Later I completed Calculus I, II, and III along with differential equations, combinatorics, and matrices, and got a degree in Computer Science.
It is so important for a teacher to instruct so the student knows the procedures and processes, to recognize the application of mathematics. Especially in high school, students need to be exposed to the power of mathematics, to not see it as a chore but as a challenge. Often, in college, I sought out the answers I needed and worked the problems step by step to understand the solution.

For those of us who wrote assembly language the rule of thumb was 3 1/3 bits per decimal digit. So log 10/log 2 ~ 3.3

x² = 10 [ x =±√(10) ]
2˟ = 10 [ x = ln(10)/ln(2) ]

Honestly, I don't remember covering logarithms in College Algebra. Of course, I took it during the summer where the material was covered at a much faster pace than normal.

I do remember covering logarithms in Precalculus and don't ever recall revisiting the material again even after I completed Differential Equations 😊

I struggle with math and this has been extremely helpful. I am committed to know moore on college algebra.

[JonDisnard]

What confused me here was the base of the log 10 and log 2. On my calculator I had to do x=log(10, 2)/log(2, 2) for the expression to properly solve. Thanks for the walk through, it was very helpful once I learned the bases have to align. 👍

[jsardi]

Well done. You might explain that log 10 = 1, and why that is true.
Also that a log IS an exponent. That is, log base b of a is the exponent you have to put on b to get a.
For example log 1000 = 3, because 10 cubed is 1000.

I remember using my log book before the days of calculator.

[mikeelder]

I passed college algebra in 2004 and had no idea how to solve this.

[vansf]

Here is how to do so:
Take natural logarithm of both sides of the 2nd eq gives:
ln 2^x = ln10 x = ln10 / ln 2
You're done

I find that this is so stupid that I need this for my college degree. I’m 41 now and do not understand college algebra and in my field job I would not need this to become HR. This is ridiculous.😊

[unknowable]

I could study, take notes, and do everything right to pass basic algebra, and i would still fail. I am just a moron when it comes to math. I wish that was not the case, but it just is.

[wwsoapbox]

The first two minutes brought back my worst memories of HS. Giving up on math 50 yrs ago was the right choice.

[jbnotbot]

My genious son helped me pass college algebra, but this guy is a good teacher if anyone needs help!
