      +jessica somerhalder it is always much easier to watch someone who knows what they are doing vs doing it yourself when you are first learning it. that's just how it goes.

    Amazing video! I'm suffering slightly from depression and stress from how much I'm struggling and trying to keep up with Calculus at my college, and so far this helps so much more efficiently.
    I have a question though for the end: why does the function decreases from the interval (-inf, -1) and (-1,0) instead of just writing out (-inf, 0)? Is it not decreasing at -1?

    I'm pretty sure that my your videos are making me pass Business Calculus. The main problem I have with my teacher is that he doesn't understand how to explain something so that someone who's never done it before can understand. He knows his stuff, he just can't dumb it down enough for the students to understand. You, on the other hand, can. That's the difference between a teacher and a guy talking at the board.

    First of all i want to say that you teach extremely well and you are awesome!
    If you have time and you are kind could you please help me with this problem.
    Suppose we have the following function
    f(x)=19^x+5^x-17^x-13^x=0
    How do you find the local max and mins using first derivative? If we differentiate we get worse...
    I would be so happy if you can reply to this message!

    Instead of doing DEC: (negative infinity, -1) (-1,0) and INC: (0,1) (1,infinity) can't you just do DEC: (negative infinity,0) and INC: (0,infinity) ? Wouldn't it mean the same thing?

    My math teacher is horrible and she makes this very difficult to understand. 70% of my class never shows up and most of us are not going to pass this class. C- or better is required. People who are not good at teaching should stay the hell away from it cause there is an obvious difference between your method and hers. Yours works hers does not.

  • @idgafmanxx
    @idgafmanxx 11 років тому

    Wait Patrick, I'm kind of confused..
    At the point x=0, shouldn't the y value be a zero?(Since it is a zero)
    Why is it that when x=0, the y value is -1 (0,-1)?

  • @fernandoalvaro3780
    @fernandoalvaro3780 9 років тому

    Hey patrick so what youre saying is that after we find the critical numbers do we have to plug those back into the eqn to know if its a local max or min or do we take from its range like for e.g the critical points are -2,2 for e.g and should i take -3 , 4 ? for e.g to plug those back into the f' to find whether its a local max or local min? I have a test on Monday..

    • @jiMalinka
      @jiMalinka 8 років тому

      Fernando Alvaro you use critical points and create a plus-minus chart of f'. Where f' is negative, f is decreasing. Where f' is positive, f is increasing.

  • @majeedoh645
    @majeedoh645 8 років тому +1

    Mr Patrick I just wonder if was asked to detrmine the increasing and decreasing intervals in the graph , does it implicitly mean that I'm testing the critical points ? thanx💙.

    • @Triplechoco52
      @Triplechoco52 7 років тому +1

      Since he pretty much does that at 6:38, then yes, it does implicitly imply testing for crit #'s, because only at the crit#'s does our curve f(x) possibly change direction.
      Like the graph for f(x) = x^2 Patrick did at the beggining, before the vertices point (0,0), our y values tend to be decreasing as x goes on. Only after that point (0,0), does our y-values then start to increase as x goes on.
      Knowing this, if you didn't know this at the start, and instead found the critical numbers for f(x) = x^2, I can assure you that right after you derive and look for what x-values make f'(x) = 0, one of those x-values would be x = 0 (which for f(x) = x^2, I think is the only crit#).
      Even though it's been 9 months, I hope this can at least help other lurkers lol.
