Calculus - Slope, Concavity, Max, Min, and Inflection Point (3 of 4) 3nd Order Equation

[@doodelay]

At first I sort of hated this portion of calculus on part 1 and 2 but once we got to part 3 (this video) I suddenly realized that the answer to my age old question of, "How do they build graphs of functions from scratch without plugging in every value?" was being answered. They first abstract what a function is made of which is a maximum, minimum, x crosses, and inflection points and simply connect the dots from there by plugging away. Brilliant :D

[@WreckingBallers]

Your videos are some of the most helpful calc videos on the internet. Thank you.

EXCELLENT...correction at 5:34.... AGAIN, not casting any negativity towards the instructor--he is excellent.

[@Shell1950]

He did it on purpose.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The slope can only change from negative to positive or from positive to negative at a maximum or minimum. Therefore all points between a maximum and a minimum will either have a positive slope or a negative slope.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Good catch!

[@marksilao4505]

Thank you sir, for this helpful content that helped those who struggled in math like me.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Happy to help

[@abidewanggaperwityasmara9303]

Thank you good sir! Clear explanation and very helpful. Best regards from Indonesia.

Welcome to the channel!

What if one was given for example, f(x) = 3x^3. Finding both f’(x) as well as f”(x) will equate to 0. How could I find turning points with such a task?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

If both the firs and second derivative = 0 at x = 0 that means there is an inflection point there, and it must be a horizontal inflection point. It also means that there are no local min or max points. (for f(x) = 3x^3 )

It's really good.. awesome video. thanks a lot:)

[@YourEmperorStef]

Very good explanation and reasoning as well. Thanks!!!

[@mrinalthakur3946]

sir if the graph is completely concave upward like x^2 then how do we find the maximum .?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The you find the minimum in the vary same way. Watch the other videos for more examples.

[@shashu1999]

A purely concave upward graph will not have a maximum

[@fahedtariq1716]

Very well explained. Thankyou Sir

[@truongthaiucduong2807]

Very well explained. Thankyou Sir!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Most welcome!

[@rabinbk5014]

Sir why have you taken -1 and +1 for concavity?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

When the second derivative at a location of x is negative, the function at that location will be concave down. When the second derivative at a location of x is positive, the function at that location will be concave up.

Thank you so much for this video! Helped me so much!

[@timurmusaev2386]

Awesome, great video!

[@CozyCoins]

You are the best ..

[@troybernal5085]

You're the best!!!!!

I stopped at about 2:35..noticing that f(-2) = NEGATIVE 11, and not +11. When instructing (and Michel is excellent) it nevertheless ALWAYS pays to confirm even the most seemingly trivial arithmetic with a handheld calculator. As we all know, everything in this field is CUMULATIVE----one mistake in the early stages means the final result will be error.

[@firebirdfilms2227]

this guy is so bad at math

[@Dani98664]

Yea, I thought I did it wrong at first until I rechecked on a calculator.

[@saveurself4161]

But HE is a good teacher

[@sulaimanahsan6651]

Thank u Dear sir very helpfulll.....

[@bstlybengali]

-11

[@meagharkins]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Golden_Tortoise]

beautiful!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Thank you!

[@km2711]

Even better--a graphing calculator to confirm the arithmetic.....easily shows that the slope at zero is T ORDINATE (-2,-11)

[@joeyborja423]

WOW! Just wow!

[@bharathhari6788]

We are both the same sir ! I lost 2 marks in exam because of not multiplying 2 in a derivative 5 mark sum 😅. I hope there is any cure for that

[@MichelvanBiezen]

It is the way our brains are wired. The only solution is to try and slow down, eliminate distractions (I am easily distracted) and complete each step at at time. But then to err is human..... 🙂

[@whitecoathacker]

remarkable

[@co8ku]

Great bowtie sir thanks a lot for your help

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Glad it helped

[@blip7882]

thank you

[@estherhozy9475]

Thank u very much

[@Cuyistron]

Hi ;)

[@kabirkrishna8520]

over complicating things that are actually simple...

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We showed the more general approach instead the simplified approach for just this problem.

[@viper619ful]

lol ! u got it wrong ! its actually -11 not 11 ! LMFAO

[@nuzhatsuraiya8367]

he fixed it right away chill
