      @moonnexus3523 4 года назад

      Yes, this video is very good. However, I believe you shouldn't use an "x"(6:18 on the video) to represent multiplication. In video-wise, since there is narration, a person can clearly see which one you mean but on paper, without anyone talking, anyone looking at it is likely to assume that's a variable.

    a critical number is a value in the domain of f that makes f ' either equal to zero or undefined.
    to find what makes a fraction undefined, you set the bottom equal to zero. if that x coordinate is in the domain of the original function, then it is considered a critical number

  • @patrickjmt

    of course! i prefer just using the first derivative test as that way i do not have to take another derivative. it is just a matter of taste as either the first derivative test or second derivative test will work.

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  16 лет назад +1

    i should say, either can work... so long as the second derivative evaluated at a critical number does not equal zero; in that case, you would need to resort back to the first derivative test, which is another reason why i like that one!

    Hi Patrick.
    I'd just like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful range of maths videos. I'm studying engineering at uni over in Australia... Was finding a few concepts hard to grasp in lectures, but they way you explain things makes everything seem a lot more clear. I managed to get 100% in a final exam of a subject with a 35% failure rate, largely due to your explanations ironing out the kinks I had in my understanding.
    So basically, thank you for explaining things better than my lecturer.

    Thank You so much for your help. I've been cramming for my Calc 1 final and this is so simply explained that it finally clicked! I owe you a lunch!
