    I absolutely love how you repeat things twice. "As you can see the slope, the slope is negative, is negative." Makes this entire video better.

    Wow I have been studying derivatives for over a month and didn't really understand what they were until I watched this video. The way you lined up the graphs made so much sense. I finally had that lightbulb moment and I can now say that I understand derivatives. Thank you thank you thank you!

    I'm sure you can find the curriculum from various US universities by doing a search on the internet. I think the Khan lectures are mostly aimed at high school students in the US and across the world. He is a great teacher!

    That part confuses me too and I feel holds me back from entirely grasping what he explained and shown so well, but the closest I can get to "getting" it is that the tangent lines if drawn on the f(x) graph lie ABOVE the graph. You probably already get it, but that's my interpretation (for now), until I really get why that is what it is.

  • @MikeWilliams-ej3du

    The curve is getting less and less steep in the upwards direction (decreasing slope) as it approaches it's relative maximum and then after reaching the rel. Max. it starts to become increasingly steep in the downwards direction (decreasing slope) hence the decreasing slope until it reaches the point of inflection where the 2nd derivative becomes positive and the curve becomes concave up

    HANG ON A SECOND... IF y(x) = sinx then y'(x) = cosx and y''(x) = -sinx I agree with the first graph, but the third graph Sal puts up doesn't correspond with the first graph. the third graph should be an upside down sine graph.

  • @Bryggyth

    9 жыл бұрын

    I know I'm a month late, but I believe that the graphs are actually y(x) = x^3, y'(x) = 3x^2, and therefore y"(x) = 6x There is obviously some form of shift, because the graphs do not exactly match up, but those are the proper shapes and therefore could be a very similar graph.
