  • Your videos is such a great help :) thanks a lot . I''m actually using those as a guide to understand our lessons :)

  • @annedesiree02 glad you like them. you may also check out the calculus playlists although not everything is included in there!

  • Thank you, very nice and clear!

    But how is the formula derived? Thats what I was actually looking for...

  • @spacedakini check your textbook, they show in there : )

  • Thanks for all your videos...I have one question...what is integration used for? Like I know how to use it but what does it do? Like if we try to find the tangent line we take the derivative etc...what does this do?

  • @ian559fresno to find the net change

  • @ferasteddy calculator

  • @rockguyjw 5)Plug in 1,4,2,4,2,4,1 into L3 manually. These are the co-efficients of 4's and 2's

    6)Plug into L4: L2*L3. This multiplies the coefficients of 4's and 2's by their respective values

    7) Got to main screen, then do sum(L4) (sum is 2nd -> List -> MATH)

    8) That's your answer :D Basically what he did but on the calculator

    Thanks again man for the great video

see all

  • have u heard of a calculator

  • This makes the book seem like it's written in Yiddish....

  • This is just wonderful. After trying to understand cryptic explanations on the internet this video actually showed me how this is done. Thank you!

  • I only have a confusing script from my teacher, full of typing errors (!)...

  • @patrickJMT
