      Professor Leonard , I'm not sure if I got this right, but the graph you were working on from 28:00 and on..., isn't the concavity of that graph increasing from neg-infinity to approximately negative one? If the graph is going from left to right, shouldn't the slope be increasing from (-infnty, -1)?

    Leonard, I can't tell you how grateful I am that you exist. let me tell you how much easy you have made my life, maths is my all times favorite subject now. I pray you live a long and happy life, so that you can continue making students' life easy all around the world. please keep posting more brilliant videos. I am struggling a bit in trig: I hope you read this and I'll really appreciate if you reply.

    I think an easy way to represent concavity is through velocity and acceleration. You may have a negative velocity but you can still be accelerating/decelerating and vice-versa.

    Thank you Mr. Leonard.
    I credit your style of explaining Calculus for my new found confidence in applying the Product, Quotient, and Chain Rules, Differentiation by Substitution, Implicit Differentiation, and Related Rates; and now Concavity. Part of it for me, I think, is in the way you speak of the common mistakes you see and warn against doing them. Like when you've warned against distributing terms that are not distributable. With this concavity, there are times when the slope is decreasing in the mathematical sense while it is getting steeper in a graphical sense as at point c at 35:00 in this video. Where the graph is getting more steep in the negative direction the slope is decreasing. To the graphical mind this may be an initial stumbling block. Also your "follow the d/dx" has been very helpful to me. Thanks again.

      It is a point where something interesting happens, because the original function has a vertical slope at this point. It is interesting, but frustrating, behavior of the function.

    at 1:15:32 solution of x^(-2/3)=0 will not give x=0 as solution. In fact it will give 1/x^2=0 so x has to go to infinity for 1/x^2 to be 0. In fact at x=0 the slope is not defined. It is still a critical number

    Hey Mr. Professor Leonard. Thanks a lot for your lecture, i watch this series really carefully. But i think on the 1:15:40, at x=0 this function is not differentiable. Because x^-2/3--------> 1/x^2/3. Denominator cannot be 0 :)

    Respected Professor Leonard, I am very grateful to you for sharing such type of great knowledge. I hope you will must go ahead to keep help of younger. But I am confused on 47:00 to "If you have a denom, set denom=0 as well" What does it mean. I am not a native speaker may be it is due to language difference. If you please could not mind and can explain me I will be very thankful to you.

    • @fungiuse

    Just have a question is it really x=0, when you take the value of x in x raise to the negative two thirds = 0. Is there a specific rule in it? When I use calculator it shows undefined and as I also try to calculate it it seems that it will result to 1/x^2/3 = 0 which means that if x is 0 then 1/0 is undefined. By the way this channel is great!!

I am not sure how the professor concluded x could equal zero. However, I also took the denominator into consideration to determine where the slope is undefined (equated it to zero). And THAT's where x=0.
