No way SAT is this easy right? That’s literally a homework question. Not trying to sound smart, I’m just confused on how this can be the hardest SAT question
@@rememberwhen7271 Indian here, it's incredibly easy The Indian equivalent of SAT i.e. JEE is incredibly hard. These questions are like baby steps It's not a good thing, because of lack of good colleges and way too many students, the only way to sort them is to. Make the exam incredibly difficult Even an 60-70 percentiler on JEE could get an awesome top. Ranking score on SAT
@@rememberwhen7271 actully you are finding this hard because you didn't try to do it I am sure that you too could have done it if you thought for a min
[multiply each side by xy => (x to the 9)x =5555xy; x to the 10th = 5555; substitute 5 into other formula and then divide each side by 5. Easy. Hardest part is expressing math on the computer.
Anyone who is struggling here Here's how to solve it: * Solve for x in the first equation: x^10 = 5 x^10 / x^10 = 5 / x^10 (divide both sides by x^10) x = 5^(1/10) * Solve for x in the second equation: x^9 / y = 5555 x^9 = 5555y x^9 / x^9 = 5555y / x^9 (divide both sides by x^9) x = 5555y * Substitute the value of x from the first equation into the second equation: 5^(1/10) = 5555y * Solve for y: y = 5^(1/10) / 5555 * Calculate 1/xy: 1 / (5^(1/10) * 5555y) = 1 / (5 * 5555) (since 5^(1/10) = 5) = 1 / 27775 = 1/27775 Therefore, the value of 1/xy is 1/27775. 👇
Wow bro if this is hard for some people imagine what would happen if they saw jee mains paper let alone advance As an indian these problems were easy for us in 6th grade
Probability alone makes A,D, and E unlikely. Both numbers are devisable by 5 so without any math I know the most logical answer is B. Nothing about math, everything to about testing.
We are given: ×^10 = 5 (Equation 1) X^0y = 5555 (Equation 2) In Equation 1, we have × raised to the power of 10 equal to 5. This means x is the 10th root of 5. Taking the 10th root of 5, we find: Now, looking at Equation 2, we have x^0y = 5555. Since any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1, we can rewrite the equation as: 1 * y = 5555 Simplifying, we find: y = 5555 So, the value of y is 5555. However, it's important to note that the value of xy cannot be determined since the value of x is not explicitly given and depends on the 10th root of 5. Without further information about the value of x, we cannot determine the value of xy. Im right finally
This question that is marked as hardest might seem easy to the eye but they are the ones who can transform knowledge to high end technological developments. So it doesnt matter how smart you are but it matters how you utilize it. So stop bullying the guy helpin his folk. Go solve harder of your questions and keep utilizing footwork to big companies of them.
It’s not it’s just basic logic the only reason people see it as hard is because math is taught as memorization not thinking the best math teachers made their students figure out properties like my math teacher showed us a bunch of ways to find a solution to a quadratic and then told us to “complete the square” on the equation ax^2 +bx +c and low and behold moth of the class did and got the quadratic formula we didn’t even need to memorize it we figured it out the way to get it and it made sense we saw where it came from and that was amazing having a math problem you don’t know how to do but doing it and as soon as you get stuck getting little hints to push you towards the right direction it was amazing we all felt like WE were doing REAL math WE WERE the MATHEMATICIANS
y = x^9 / 5555, just plug it into the question, 5555 / x^10 = 5555 / 5 = 1111 … seemed like the most no-thinking way to solve it, could also get away with an educated guess… x should be roughly 1.5, y must be a bit less than 0.001, so 1111 is the only solution that fits… but probably only wanna do that if you're starved for time.
We know that x^10 has to be a low number to equal 5 for example sake approx 1.2 and that x^9 will approx = around 5 so that means y must equal approx 0.0009 and so 1/xy the closest estimate would be 1111
Well I guess if it's tough then 😂 what is this "A bored student walks down a hall that contains a row of closed lockers, numbered 1 to 1024. He opens the locker numbered 1, and then alternates between skipping and opening each locker thereafter. When he reaches the end of the hall, the student turns around and starts back. He opens the first closed locker he encounters, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. The student continues wandering back and forth in this manner until every locker is open. What is the number of the last locker he opens?
What is SAT test? I’ve heard that education in US better then in post-Soviet countries, but in my “3rd world country” the problem is easy for 12 years old
50 yrs and never got past geometry. Loved having a good teacher just pull stiff up out if thin air thst makes no sense. And this math doesnt really apply to anything its just letters and numbers so its useless outside of schoo environnent..
@@08turboSSon your part you’re mostly right, what isn’t right is that those numbers are essential for getting into a better institution with advanced education which eventually leads you to getting a well paid professional job
@@bud-e8028 Thank you for the breakdown, makes so much sense. I'm not a math whiz but trying to learn so really appreciate comments that help those like me who aren't math goblins yet. :)
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplication with the reverse. a/(b/c) equals a*(c/b) equals ac/b. It's easy to show why, but once you know it it's just a quick trick. Also if you write it as (a/b)/c it's just the same as (a/b)*(1/c) = a*1/(bc) = a/(bc)
It is so annoying to see india ( and other parts of asia) have hundreds of commenters thinking their countries are so special because they find this question easy. I am english, and I’m pretty sure this is easy for most people with a decent education. It may simply reflect specifically the USA having a problem with education.
But like really this is so easy I'm from Poland and I'm in like 9th grade counted to yours and I'm doing logarithms and other stuff so this is really easy
Bro am 15 and from India, and I solved this mentally in under 10 seconds it's literally the easiest question from linear equations in two variable that I have seen in the math for my grade
@@adisama4526 that’s the funny part, you have less than 35 seconds to solve it, still very very very easy, but you have 4 hours of test, that’s why is hard, not because of the difficulty of the questions but for the fact that after that time and the pressure makes you exhausted and under that is not that easy.
@@ByteBridge999 if you have daring, try to solve a jee advanced question of maths jee adv is world's toughest exam for admission into IIT's, (google ceo sundar pichai from IIT) I am a student of IIT
Okay yeah I did it but a bit differently So divide x^9/y by x^10. This gives you x^9/yx^10 which can be cancelled down to 1/xy. Then since we divided those we can also divide 5555 by 5 which gives us 1111 This probably seems quite confusing as you’re reading it like this, but if you wrote it out it’d make a lot of sense
homie correct me if im wrong but when u divide x⁹/y = 5555 by x¹⁰ u get 1/xy = 5555 ?? howd u divide 5555 by 5 bc x¹⁰ = 5 not x = 5 so it doesnt make sense to me ,,please elaborate?
Hey Asians. The point of the sat is to test students on basic geometry through precalculus. It’s not supposed to be difficult math. It’s supposed to be fairly simple problems that require a bit of convoluted thinking
@@Sohailhgfggggh6 I yeah there are some VERY easy problems on the sat. I have encountered “3x=27 what is 2x” also. By convoluted thinking I mean that in some problems, the SAT will word the question very strangely, or ask for a solution which takes three extra steps to find hoping you will forget and put down another answer. Again, the SAT is not a measure of intelligence. It’s a test to prove you paid attention in school, and you can retain the things that you learned.
The question itself isnt very hard but imagine being on a time limit of a little over 60 seconds per question with your entire future dependant on whether or not you get it exactly right within said time frame…
@@Tanish_IIT_Madrasif you are good at math and SAT is easy for you than give it, if your are able to score more than 1550, which you should because you believer SAT is a cakewalk for jee aspirants. Than there are many colleges you provide full scholarships, just improve your English also, write good essays and SOPs and your are done.
@@Priyam042 ok so I did tried previous year question papers of SAT it wasn't even jee mains level it wasn't hard at all, and just so you know i was AIR 500 in jee adv and an IIT Madras student. And I don't think there are many colleges which have better resources and facilities than IITM And let's say if I did got full scholarship even then the living expenses will be much more per year than my whole expense of 4 years including fee MIT may have better resources, budget and infrastructure but IIT produce the best engeneers in the world
@@Tanish_IIT_Madrasbhaiya (elderly I'm in 11th)could you pls elaborate why everyone says there's also a dark side which is hidden under the fun party n all that?? It will be really helpful as I'm also jee asp.
@@Tanish_IIT_Madras yes ofcourse you are right, I just explained that in response to your comment which said that if you had money you would have gone to MIT, but now your fucked in iit. That's why I said that if you don't like iits than you could attend MIT, Even If you don't have money for it. And coming to the cost of living part, their are ivy league Colleges which meets 100% percent need of a student. So your tution fees and living expenses, including rent, eating, stationary, travel everything will be covered. My friend is himself a engineering student and is currently in University of Chicago, where he got scholarships of around $400k.
You could take the five out of 5555 to make 5(1111) then substitute the five with x^10 to get x^9/y=x^10(1111) then divide both sides by x^10 and simplify to get 1/xy=1111
SAT is just a college readiness exam. its purpose is completely different than the JEE. i do not know why people think SAT is the JEE equivalent for the US. it is not. it is SUPPOSED to be easy. it is just testing basic mathmatics knowledge. there are other exams similar(if not harder) than the JEE/jee advanced in the US.
@@qwertyuiop2161Yeah. Any indian undergrad's app would plummet the moment they have to put in ECs, recs and esaays. They would all start acting like mindless npcs
this is first year high school level, no way this is the hardest question on a SAT test. you could also multiply x^9/y by x/x => x^10/ xy = 5555 5/xy = 5555 1/xy = 1111
What is this type of question called? I'm a sophomore who's taking algebra 2 rn and I went over algebra 1 during zoom days and it was really hard to follow. Is this basic algebra 1 skills, if soi would love for one of you guys to tell me so I can relearn it
I'm sooo annoyed by other commenters saying "Ohhh I'm from Asia so this is very easy for me, I studied it when I was straight out of my mother's womb!" Bruh nobody cares lol, I'm Asian and I'm having a hard time. Math is not for everyone and it's okay to accept that. I don't see anyone saying "Oh Law is easy" or "Being a doctor is easy" because EACH and EVERYONE has their own talents.
Bro thanks for stating this. It's very annoying when I'm watching these sort of videos and I see these comments. Honestly at first it motivated me to learn more, but now it just sounds like they're trying to brag are prove some superficial point
@@millie76 I don't live in the US, so so you guys have cleared up my preconceptions. Thanks! But the first comment was more like a joke, because that's what RU-vid comments are great for isn't it?
me: 30 years old, took calc in hs, tutored people in math, graduated 12 years ago, haven't needed math like this ever in real life also me: watching every single one of these videos bc they're fun for some reason lol
@@anoptainium the thing about the sats is that we have 20 seconds for each question, so it really isn't a flex. we don't have like 100 minutes. also this was said to be hard for views.
I get it easily by choosing e. Since I have no idea, answering that I’m confused would be accurate and therefore, I’d get the question right. It’s like that old experiment: you give someone an impossible riddle, asking if they can solve it. Most people will try to think of a clever solution, but the actual answer is “no, I can’t.”
