  • My teacher always weaves away from the lesson at hand and shows us useless boring presentations on statistics when we are supposed to do Edexcel C4 parametric equations!

  • You, my good sir, is awesome. !

  • Thank goodness for Khan.

  • So... Calculus 3 is off to a REALLY bad start :/

  • P (2ap, ap^2)

  • Comment removed

  • The night before your last high school math exam ever, so helpful, Thank you so much.

  • Khan is your math teacher.

  • Couldn't you substitute the time in for X if you have the simpler version of the perimetric equations

  • When he removes the third variable (t) does the equation become whats known as a Cartesian equation?

  • @vishay23 yeah

  • You are awesome.

    But

    Please don't move the cursor so much. It is annoying to look at it moving randomly.

    Thank you

  • he uses what other math teachers don't. pretty colors

  • Great guide, been slacking in class and this is really helpful!

  • You are currently saving my good marks in Math 1010. This is my studying for my final :P

  • It would be cool if he added explosions to the last drawing. (Just for laughs.)

  • Ok, now's lets account for the Einstein's law of relativity lol.

  • Hi!

    I learned to deduce a parametric equations through a line vectorial equation.

    For example: (x,y)=A+k(a,b)

    Where A is a point, k is a real number and (a,b) are the coordenaties of a given vector

  • Can u make a little harder ones

    cuz my school is gay like for example :

    x(t) = t^2 -4

    y(t) = t^3 -4t

    and using derivatives and such plz plz D:

  • i've been doing parametrics for about 6 months without actually knowing why we use them

    now it makes sense :D

  • the sad truth is, most "teachers" either lack the insight/knowledge or r not considerate enough to explain ideas/concepts like sal does

  • congrats man

  • i wish you were my math teacher :(

  • @carolinagringa khan is everyone's math teacher. Praise khan. all hail lord KHAAAAN

  • So, w/ the parametric equations, how could we find the direction the car is actually going w/ them? like, if the car was in reverse and it drives back, how could we discover that from the equation?

  • @menamedon92

    in this case x(t) indicates initial position of object (10) and direction (+) and speed (5) per unit of time (t). So if you basically change +5t into -5t the "car" starts moving backwards.

  • 1 hour with sal= 1 whole year of physics

  • i love you for this

  • Thank you for this video. I ended up getting an awful instructor for this term and this video gave a much more meaningful and contextual explanation for parametric equations.

  • nice !

  • program used?

  • omg, ur a genius, and this video should have like a million views!!!

  • Sal. You're so thorough with this number thing, brah. You must be an engineer or something...Right?

  • @aubreydavid I think he's an economist. He was on CNN explaining the credit crisis and has am MBA and such and such

  • how can t= sqrt of 3? shouldn't it be instead sqrt of 10 which is rounded to 3.17 ?

  • He corrected himself like two seconds later.

  • Sal is my personal Math mentor / guru who's (or is that "whose"?! argh!) videos i consult to make things clear. thank you Sal!

  • it's whose, who's means "who is" :)

  • thanks again

  • awesome
