he didn't take my math test
0:03
Who jesus Yeah he doesn't need to He
0:06
already knew He already knows what to do
0:08
with it
0:11
What do you think he would get do you
0:13
think he would just get 100 i think he'd
0:14
be Jesus for all the answers Do you
0:17
think he would be one of those people
0:18
that doesn't need to study he just knows
0:20
Yeah because he No that is not true He
0:22
needed because he was a man and in his
0:25
human nature he was limited in his he
0:28
was limited Do you think do you think he
0:30
was truly human if Jesus took a math
0:32
test wasn't he half human half did he go
0:35
half human that is called a monopite
0:38
heresy He's not half and half Wait wait
0:41
Did he go to high school
0:44
he went to Jesus Come on now We were at
0:47
high school in this time They
0:50
had if Jesus took a bad test do you
0:53
think he would just get 100 cuz All
0:55
right You got you got you got you got a
0:58
perfect man Of course he going to get
1:00
he's going to ace all his test That's
1:02
why he put everybody to shame because he
1:04
was he he
1:07
studied He wasn't just sitting around be
1:10
like "Okay no." Cuz he was limited in
1:12
his he was limited as a human He was
1:14
truly human right because when it was
1:17
baby Jesus had to be helped cuz he was a
1:20
baby Yeah So he wasn't like a baby that
1:22
could do like Superman No he was a baby
1:26
So
1:28
right You know that he got tired right
1:32
jesus got tired because he was a human
1:34
And just like a human he had human like
1:39
um everything that we went we went
1:41
through as humans he went through it
1:43
because he was a human in his nature
1:45
That's what that's why he understands
1:48
the human experience because he wasn't
1:50
just like a superhuman He had a full
1:54
human nature and a full divine nature
1:56
That's called that's called he still had
2:00
to study right but you talk about what's
2:02
called a monopite heresy
2:06
We're going to have to stone you now
2:08
Unfortunately
2:13
it's a heresy She's doing heresy We got
2:17
a heresy And then the guy that the guy
2:20
that came up with the hair was called So
2:22
look
2:23
at the blood Waiter Wait Half human and
2:28
half god is like that is not that's like
2:31
Moana Yeah That's that's that's heresy
2:34
That's Hawaii You know what a heresy is
2:36
right uh no Heresy When you hear the
2:39
wordes against God right it's something
2:41
that is heresy Yeah Orthodox Third
2:43
commandment Thou shalt not lose God No
2:45
it's not third Orthodoxy right that is
2:48
the when you hear orthodoxy this is
2:50
right thinking on video
2:54
but that's fine it's just among the 10
2:59
it don't matter anyway that so heresy is
3:02
like a lie something that is not true is
3:05
false false teaching and then orthodoxy
3:08
is right teaching right now back to
3:10
radicals right we have root of 98 minus
3:14
2 root of 32 Right the way we solve this
3:18
is this We got to make sure the number
3:20
that is under the radical are identical
3:24
If they're not identical we cannot do
3:26
this Right so that mean we have to break
3:28
down the radical We have to break them
3:30
down right so I'm going to break down 98
3:32
If I break down
3:33
98 98 gives me what i mean I already
3:37
know since eight is divisible by what
3:40
two right two is what 49 I know that 49
3:44
is a perfect first square perfect square
3:48
So I'm going to go back here I'm going
3:49
to go 49 * 2 right and here I'm going to
3:52
do the same thing with 32 I'm going to
3:54
break down 32 into something that has a
3:56
perfect square which is what 16 * 32id
4:01
two right 16 So I can deal with this I
4:04
know how to work with this So now what's
4:06
of 49
4:08
seven Seven So that's out That's going
4:10
to go out So I get seven square root of
4:12
two And what's of 16 four That's going
4:15
to be 2 *
4:17
4 of two Right now I have seven
4:22
square of two -
4:24
8 2
4:27
So now if you look at it the outer
4:29
numbers are the only one that I'm going
4:31
to deal with right because they have the
4:33
same number under the radical So the
4:34
only thing that you're subtracting is
4:36
the outer not the inside number You do
4:39
have to make sure that the inside
4:40
matches For example you can't
4:44
72us - 8 That's impossible right the
4:48
number that's under the radical has to
4:50
be the same Now all we have to do now is
4:52
subtract 7 - 8 And that gives you what
4:59
or if you want negative two whichever
5:02
one either whichever way you want to put
5:03
it right so it's either 1 square root of
5:06
two or negative root of two All right so
5:10
this is how you subtract or add radicals
5:13
Now I'm going to give you another
5:13
example Yes What are you doing over
5:17
i don't know I ain't got nothing to do
5:20
Probably going to hide some eggs
5:24
I don't know I could beat pickle ball We
5:27
should do a a staff or student pickle
5:29
ball Nobody know that I'm going to be
5:31
smoking everybody's face No one beat me
5:34
on that Be humble Mr
5:37
No humility on that Let's do a humidity
5:40
on that I'll get
5:41
everybody before the fall Oh listen
5:45
Anybody get anybody's going to get
5:48
smoked on that one what
5:50
i feel like I would be in your I feel
5:54
like
5:56
So let's try to work on this one here
5:58
right let's try to work on this one So I
6:00
have How many do I have now three I have
6:03
three radicals right i have three
6:05
radicals here And I'm I'm gonna make
6:08
sure I'm matching them I want to make
6:09
sure the inner the number that's inside
6:11
the radical is the same Right so I'm
6:13
going to break down 12 into a perfect
6:16
square times a number Right it will be
6:19
four * what four * three And 27 will be
6:23
9 * 3 Right as you can see my inner
6:27
number I want it to be like something
6:29
with a three because this this all I
6:31
want multip can be multiplied by three
6:34
Right and 128 128 Again if you add the
6:39
digits right 8 + 2 is 10 10 + 1 is 11
6:43
This number is not divisible by three So
6:46
I'm going to just do two times uh
6:50
two is 64 right and 64 is just 8 and 8
6:55
right so I'm not going to waste my time
6:57
So if you look at it now I'm going to
6:59
have 5 4 * 3 right + 2 9 * 3 -
7:07
8
7:10
* uh - 64 * 2 which is also a perfect
7:13
square I know 64 is a perfect square
7:15
right so if I take them out one at a
7:18
time right this is going to go out it
7:21
gives me what 5 * what two square root
7:25
of three This goes out It gives me two *
7:29
3
7:30
And here this goes out It's just 8
7:34
square root of two Right now if you look
7:37
correctly right five and two that is 10
7:40
square root of three 2 and 3 that is
7:42
6 3 - 8 2 right now if you look
7:48
here I have to make sure the number that
7:51
is inside the radical matches right that
7:55
that now here there's nothing I can do
7:57
here because it's a square root of two
7:59
so the other one that I can combine is
8:01
this one this is just like working with
8:03
like terms right so that will be
8:06
16 3 -
8:09
8 so that's basically basically how you
8:12
add and subtract numbers with radicals
8:16
Right now multiplication Now how do you
8:19
multiply numbers with radicals right
8:23
we're going to do that too
8:28
Now we've done it The one that we've
8:29
done it's like it's a little different
8:31
This one is going to be
8:34
involving right so we're going to write
8:36
out to multiply
8:38
multiply radicals right
8:44
now watch what happens here right cool
8:46
That's enough
8:48
So 4 3
8:52
right plus
8:54
5 and then times
8:58
um
9:01
3 - 6 Now this involves a little bit of
9:05
we're going to be doing using the
9:08
distributive law here right so I'm going
9:10
to go step by step So it's going to be
9:12
this times this right
9:16
this times this here So you see again
9:20
this is why it's good to learn how to do
9:22
So it's going to be
9:23
4 right times
9:27
3 That's just this And then now I have
9:30
minus minus this times that right minus
9:35
6 times 4 3 That's just the first
9:39
portion of it Right now I'm going to
9:41
have to do the same thing here This and
9:44
this So it's going to be plus
9:50
5*
9:52
3 and then lastly - 6 *
9:57
5 2 So it's a distributive law It
10:00
is extended Right so a lot of things
10:03
that we have to worry about here Now if
10:06
I look at it now I'm going to have to do
10:08
them singly like every one of them
10:10
separately Right so I have four here
10:13
Four square root of 3 * 3 I'm going to
10:15
multiply the outer numbers and the inner
10:17
numbers Right 4 * 3 is what that's 12
10:21
square root of 3 *
10:23
2 six Right so it's 4 * 3 and then the
10:28
you multiply them together So this is 12
10:31
square root of 6 Now here I only have 6
10:33
* 4 that gives me what
10:36
24 of three right because I'm seven this
10:39
times this Now here I have something
10:42
that is going on that's going to be
10:43
interesting here Right so I have four 15
10:47
square root of 4 right cuz of two *
10:50
square of two is square root of 4 And
10:52
then lastly -
10:54
30 of two Now I have to see if there's
10:58
anything else to do here that I can do
10:59
to simplify this Right i already know
11:01
what 4 is That's 2 right so this is 12
11:06
6 - 24 3 + 15 * 2 - 30 2
11:15
and I can do this one Oh that's how you
11:18
do it Times two
11:21
Mhm Now this is just 30 minus 30 2
11:24
And then this is where you stop because
11:26
there's nothing else you can combine
11:28
here right this is square root of two
11:30
This is square root of three This is
11:31
square root of six There's no breakdown
11:33
that's going to happen here So this is
11:35
my final result right there's nothing
11:38
else to do here You can stop here Okay
11:44
And then
11:46
lastly we've already done this before
11:49
but we still going to do it again We're
11:50
going to learn how to find the conjugate
11:51
expression which we did before right we
11:54
did it with
11:55
uh uh we open the window the kids So
12:01
we're going to learn how to welcome my
12:02
little expression right anybody else
12:05
rank this so be good
12:07
All right
12:12
Is he winning
12:16
all right So now we have two right it's
12:19
the last thing that we going to learn
12:20
today And then we want to call we want
12:23
to rationalize the denominator We did
12:26
that before in our in our previous
12:28
section How do you rationalize it right
12:30
you want to
12:35
rationalize the
12:38
denominator right you want to
12:40
rationalize the denominator So basically
12:42
what you want to do is this You want to
12:44
find a real number that's going to
12:46
replace this expression here with a
12:48
radical So to rationalize this it's a
12:50
very easy process We're going to
12:52
multiply this by what we call the
12:53
conjugate expression It's called the
12:57
conjugate conjugate expression right
13:00
conjugate expression And what is it is
13:03
is probably is just the the pretty much
13:05
the the conjugate expression So you
13:07
going to multiply this by 5 + 1 and
13:11
square root of 5 + 1 It's pretty much
13:14
the opposite You just switch this up
13:16
Yeah we've done this Um we've done this
13:18
plus one necessary It's not under the
13:20
square root No the plus one is not under
13:23
the square root It's outside If it's
13:24
under it's a totally different
13:26
expression It's totally it's not 100
13:30
right so why do we need to get rid of it
13:32
why do we need to cuz we can't have with
13:34
square root You can't have a square root
13:35
in the denominator It's just a rule What
13:38
about the negative one which one is Well
13:40
it's not a square root So why would we
13:42
yeah because it's involved in the
13:43
denominator It's not you can't just take
13:45
one You have to rationalize the whole
13:46
thing So it's not going to do five Right
13:49
So now I'm going to multiply that Right
13:51
so it's going to be two square roots of
13:52
five Right i'm using again the root the
13:55
distributive law
13:57
+ 2 Now over 5 * square of 5 We're going
14:01
to do the same thing here that we did
14:03
like this Right so be square of 25
14:06
Square of 5 * 1 is + 1 square of 5
14:10
Square root of 1 * square of 5 is - 1 5
14:14
and then 1 * 1 is 1 You'll notice a
14:17
pattern here What if you do this long a
14:20
lot right so now what's going to happen
14:24
is these two are going to always cancel
14:25
out The middle one are always going to
14:27
cancel out It's just something that's
14:28
going to happen every time when you find
14:30
a conjugate expression right and square
14:32
root of 25 is what five This is 5 minus
14:36
one So the whole thing is 2 5 + 2
14:40
over 4 We are grow we we now know how to
14:43
simplify expression So you don't leave
14:45
this like this cuz two goes into each
14:46
one of them Right so we simplify this by
14:49
two So you get square of five + 1 / two
14:54
And this is called this is pretty much
14:56
we rationalize the denominator Right so
14:59
this is the last thing that we're going
15:00
to learn today And then now I'm going to
15:01
give you what you love to do is
