Math and Science Tutor

          W elcome back to my blog. I hope you find this blog interesting. Today's blog post would be short and simple as I would be solving only one math question. I got this question from a friend of mine. The question is on simultaneous equations. I know some people know about this concept already but the question I'm about to solve is a very rare type of simultaneous equation question and I had to think a little to figure out the solution. Let's get back to it.                   Find the values of x and y from the equations below:        X 1/3 + y 1/3 = 6 -----------(i)      x + y = 72 ----------------(ii)     To solve this type of question, you'll have to think of a way to get rid of those exponents in equation (i). One easy way to do that is to introduce a common logarithm or natural logarithm to each term in the equation. I will use natural logarithm fo...

         I welcome everyone that is viewing my post right now. This is my first post and I'll be solving a couple of math questions with a detailed explanation. I'm doing this because sometimes, many people just solve some math problems without knowing the concepts behind the steps that lead to the solution. Some people just cram the steps to the solution to save their energy from studying and practicing the concepts.                   If you happen to be that type of person, I'm sorry to say but, that method will not take you far in the sense that mathematical concepts build on each other as you advance in math studies. For instance, if you haven't done precalculus, you'll have a hard time in calculus classes because the first calculus class builds on the majority of precalculus concepts with a few new concepts in calculus. One of my high school teachers used to say that, 'the concept you refuse to learn now wil...
