  1. So 0/0 is 1?

  2. Do you ever do “d/dx?”

  3. Wandenreich Atheist

    you make it look easy…lol

  4. Oh my goodness thank YOU very very very much PatrickJMT!!! You have no idea
    how much this helped me with homework!!! Please keep making more math
    videos, these are really lifesavers!!! Awesome job too by the way!

  5. Siddharth Gautam

    And some d/dx’s (LOL is it gotta be differentials???)
    CALCULUS : DIFFERENTIALS and CHANGE
    Again from the guy….

  6. you are so helpful. Im telling everyone in my class about you

  7. I dont understand the ‘h’ and ‘t’ things.. _”

  8. Does it matter which definition of the derivative I use? Are there times
    where I have to use one over the other?

  9. Haven’t studied math in a very long time and it’s still easy :’) 

  10. For x^2, would h also be ^2? or just x^2 + h

  11. That marker has such a satisfying noise to it.

  12. Wow this is awesome and your awesome. Im so happy bc i actually understand
    it and please keep posting videos

  13. Thanks!
    Somehow I know that my homework is going to be way harder than this example
    though -_-

  14. thanks dude..

  15. HEY PATRICK TALK LOUDER, I CAN’T HEAR YOU WITH ALL THE CALCULUS

  16. my calculus book says that for the product rule, values for n are the
    positive integers. You just used the power rule on a function where
    n=-1/3.. What gives?

  17. Vishnupriya Ramachandran

    How abt
    a.) f(x)=[(3^x)+1]
    b.) g(x)=sqrt(x+2)? 

  18. i am way too young to know anyting you are talking about. atleast now i can
    tell my friends i know a tiny bit of calculus.

  19. Im glad i found your channel

  20. Anyone know where I can get a bunch of practice problems for my calc final?
    thanks

  21. Kaizer Seloterio

    TY :D

  22. How would you solve f(x)= 7x^4/3-2/3x^3/2+7x^2-10x+1

  23. Liking the shortcuts.

  24. Why is the derivative of a constant 0

  25. I understand how the derivative of constant is always zero, graphically
    speaking. but when I apply the power rule on a constant to prove it to my
    self algebraically I don’t seem to get zero, or is it wrong to apply the
    power rule on a constant?

  26. so much easier to understand than my calc teacher, you’re a saint!

  27. @ivanxdxd2008 nope, not at the moment

  28. i love it, at start you always say so

  29. @DeadlyDreamerX may also check out my calc 2 playlist

  30. how come he didnt take the derivative of 1 making it 0?

  31. Nice(although, I am looking for the video on integration(by parts)).
