    Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)
    Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”
    So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student-from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus-figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.

    This was so, so helpful! Not just because of your clear explanation, but because of your calm and understanding tone. I know it sounds dumb, but I felt less pressured to rush through concepts and was actually motivated to understand each step. Thank you!

      Awww, that makes me so happy, Kayla! Math shouldn't be scary... we should just be able to hang out and work on it at our own pace, just tackling each little piece as we get to it. I want my videos to feel peaceful like that.

    Another great video!
    One comment on optimization problems found in textbooks:
    Setting up the equation to optimize is sometimes the hardest part, and the books frequently do a poor job explaining the "setup". I ran across a Revenue optimization problem that was a little confusing as to where the p(x) (i.e. the specific equation that expressed p(x)) came from;
    But you've done a great job of setting everything up in this demo!
    Thank you again.

    I found the applied example really helpful. For me it helps to see the equations "do something". Like watching a machine run helps you understand what its parts do, if that makes any sense.

    if the y-value for both endpoints is equal, then you have to call both of them local maxima. only if there is just one point that is higher than any other can you call it a global maximum. hope that helps! :)

  • @kristakingmath
    @kristakingmath  11 лет назад

    I only plugged them in for x. Remember that the left-hand side of the equation is y(x), so when I plugged them in it looked like y(-2). On the right-hand side, I plugged them in wherever I had an x variable. Therefore, the result for each point was something like y=-1. Hope that helps! :)

The thing that sucks about my calculus class is that it's near the end of the day, and I'm so exhausted by the time I get to that class, so it's almost impossible for me to pay attention (if only my school would sell iced coffee, or allow students to leave the school and come back, at least...) .I focus all of my energy in just trying to stay awake :( But these videos really save me!

    This video really helped :) I was really confused in class when we were doing this, but now I actually get the concept of it and what to look for in the problem. But, like somebody else said, I think it would be a good idea to have text of the problem on the screen so that we can read it while your saying it, or even copy it down.
    Thanks for the help!

    • @jenniferl6212

  • @kristakingmath
    @kristakingmath  11 лет назад

    because the function as it's largest value in the interval at x=2. we want to know what the value is there, so that we can say "the global maximum is 11 at x=2". :)

  • @kristakingmath
    @kristakingmath  11 лет назад

    I factored out a 4x. If you multiply 4x by the factor (1-729/x^3), the result will be the previous step. :)

    (2916/x^2) == (2916x^-2). Factoring means you subtract from what you have. Take out a 4x and you have just what she said.

    A= 2(2x^2 + xh + 2xh)

    and she stated it
    A= 2x^2 + 6xh ?

    • @kristakingmath
      @kristakingmath  7 лет назад +7

      This is an "open-top box", meaning that the top is missing, so you only include the bottom in the area, not the top and the bottom. That's why that extra area is missing from the formula. If the box were enclosed on all sides, you'd use the formula you have here. I hope that helps!

    my only problem is whenever the problems aren’t that simple. my teacher gave this problem
    Shakira is 5 miles off shore in a boat trying to escape a band of pirates! She wishes to reach a point on the coast 6 miles down shore where there is safety. She can row at 2 mph and walk at 4 mph. Where should she land the boat to reach down shore as quickly as possible
    I understand we are minimizing town but how tf am I supposed to know what the equation for time is when we never practice that. I’ve had an A all year and optimization is the only thing I don’t understand. My teacher makes it sound like common sense but that’s because she already knows how to solve it
    My teacher also said going straight down makes no sense so she didn’t solve for that but why doesn’t it if it’s twice as slow to row

    8:02 into the video

    • @Sam-js2xw
      @Sam-js2xw 9 лет назад +2

      Ian F Hi,
      She just factored out 4x from the parenthesis (aka Brackets in some countries). When She factored out the 4x, she had to divide 1/4x to 4x and 2916/x^2. When she divided the 1/4x to the expression, the values turned to 4x(1- 2916/4x^3). She then simplified the 2916/4 to 729 and thus she got 4x(1-729/x^3)
      Sorry if I used the wrong terms.

  • @gabunir

    In calculating maxima and minima for y=x³+x²-x+1 I used 1 as the right endpoint and got 2 which is the same y value as critical point -1. How do you decide which is the local and which is the global maximum in a case like that?

    Wait...wouldn't the area be xh + xh + 2xh + 2xh + 2x(squared) + 2x(squared)?
    Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
    So that would make it: 2(x*2x) + 2(2xh) + 2(xh)
    = 4x(squared) + 4xh + 2xh ==> 4x(squared) + 6xh
