THANKS.

crickey maytee, nice video!

ok pot the graph:}

1 whole week of not understanding what the hell this differentiation shit is about in class and then I finally get it here! Thank You
-
I meant form a y = mx + c equation* in my second comment
-
@RShahProductions Did I get that right?? Because surely if like we differentiated the equation in my first comment, that's saying 12(x^5) applies to all tangents taken from the curve (-3)(x^-4) ?
I'm slightly more confused now.
-
@RShahProductions Wait, I took a second and I think I've just got it.
Let's say we are given the equation to a curve. At any point, a tangent can be taken and so we must differentiate that expression to find an expression for the tangent. We can then use that derivative to find the gradient at that point and then a y interception for that tangent, so we can form a y = mx+ c gradient for that tangent.

This is what my teacher is teaching us but I am so confused!!
y = (-3)(x^-4) DOES NOT = 12(x^-5) !!!!!!!!
What am I missing here?

excuse me, how did you get that B is 2?
hi mate
when you say derive, do you mean differentiate ? i.e are they the same thing ?
where are you other videos on this ?

@fonzi0was0cool: I've seen both used. However, "derive" is also used to describe other things so if you want to definitely have no possible confusion differentiate might be better.
