A Calculus Optimization Problem

AP tests near, As I shed a tear, This Video reminded me That I’m screwed

This is much harder than anything that would be on the AP calc exam

Oh wow! This channel looks GREAT!!! Funny thing: I clicked on the video thinking the guys in the thumbnail were carrying a sofa. Hahahahahaha. So I was expecting to see something about the Sofa Problem and was confused because if that was the case, there is some Calculus there, but it is not a purely Calculus problem, whatever my mind means by that. Instead the video is about a particular case of the Sofa Problem. Very cool.

Up and Atom had a similar video a while ago, although less mathematical.

I’m confused as to why the derivative when 0 determines the length

[@LearnPlaySolve]

When the derivative is zero, the original function is either at a maximum or minimum. This is the basis for optimization problems. By setting the derivative to zero, we found the optimal length given the restraints of the problem. I explain the process in more detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTMf3WcmKdlqMksi=t09SSEvFGQHXSv_k

this is a birds eye view, or 'from above' view
