    Patrick - You, in conjunction with Salmon Khan are the reason that I feel confident going into an engineering career, switching over from music. I always loved science/math, but having a rough time at home in middle/high school prevented me from concentrating. You allowed me to test out of Calc A without even taking the class. These videos are so empowering. It's really transformed my future in a way you can't imagine. Thanks so much, and I hope you understand what an impact you have on people!

    Not a topic goes by in math that I don't understand, no matter how tough thanks to you! I am and aengineering major and currently taking calc 2 and linear algebra; we just finished this in calc 2 and are started parametric equations. You are more helpfulrthan any professor I have ever had. Thank you for helping me to understand this difficult material!

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  Před 14 lety

    @Wilson1989SWE nope, i did not even graduate high school. mainly, i just make this stuff up as i go along, but i say it in a convincing tone

    You sum up in 10 minute videos what my college professors fail to teach in weekly sessions... freaking awesome, thank you.

    I spent almost an hour trying to do these problems on my own, I looked at your first video on the subject and I got the problem in this one right after. Thanks so much!

  • @holmes9405
    @holmes9405 Před 10 lety +1

    Patrick you're freaking awesome. Missed my math class last week sleeping in and I don't even have to look at my professor's notes online cause you already covered this topic. I feel like I won't ever have to show up in class, I'll just have to look up the topic in your channel and take notes watching your videos. thank you.

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  Před 13 lety

    @patrickJMT and by calc 2, i assume you will just start integration... but i am not sure about that now, given the material in this video!

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  Před 13 lety +1

    @brawl313 i would make sure you remember the basics: how to do a variety of limits, derivatives, basic trig stuff (identities and values and such), and make sure your algebra is ok (basic graphs, solving equations, etc). if you feel up to speed on all of that, you can always read ahead and get exposed to it before next semester; at that point, you will be brushing up to some extent, instead of seeing it for the first time.

    I have a quiz on this in about an hour! I was out on a date last night, so I didn't study and now here I am getting a crash course on this WOOOOOO lol. I've been recommending PatrickJMT and Khanacademy in every math class I've been in, since I discovered you guys.

    Wow. You are really helping me understand Cal 2 WAY more in under 10 minutes than I do in 2 hours of my professor's class. I now feel more confident in college calculus thanks to you. If I pass this class this semester, it'll be because of you. Thank you so much!!!

    thank you so much for doing these videos I have a quiz tommorow and I was scared I didn't know how to do trigonometric substitutions really well and you cleared that up for me. Also you explain really well. I guess professors can't explain well because there's a time limit on what they can teach so I'm glad you're doing these videos.

  • @ermitanyongmahileg
    @ermitanyongmahileg Před 13 lety

    knowing the values of x in terms of theta, you can equate the make the denominator 9x^2 + 4 equal to 2^2 tan^2 theta + 4 and simplifying, 4tan^2 + 4 theta will be equal to 4 sec^2 theta using the identity (tan^2 theta + 1 = sec^2 theta)

  • @MultiMoe91

  • @willeseswils
    @willeseswils Před 12 lety

    @sp22kn4 Do you mean change the bounds of the integral? It's simple. When you make a u-sub. you can take your original upper and lower bounds and put them into your u-sub equation as x-values. So if you have a interval of [1,2]: if x=1 then u would be =? and if x=2 then u would be equal to? replace the bounds with your new values. This way you have the values of what you substituted in for u.

    how would you know to use this instead of sinh^-1(u/a) because since the stuff in the radical is being added can't you flip it around so that it will be (dx/sqrt(4+9x^2) to make it look like d/dx of sinh^-1 x?

    Anybody trying this out should draw your triangles first! If you have a integral with a fraction in it that includes a radical remember that if the sign inside of the radical is "+" then you have your hypotenuse. If the sign inside of the radical is "-" then you have one of your sides.

    okay could you possibly do an example where you end up with and answer for the integral in terms of theta where one of the parts of the equation is something like 2(sin2(theta)) and go over how to plug back in to get that back into terms of x? that is really confusing me right now

  • @ErniesLament
    @ErniesLament Před 13 lety

    Dude wait... don't these things integrate to inverse trig functions? Are they numerically equivalent for definite integrals? Do you use the ln form as a workaround for domain restrictions or something? You could have just solved for theta algebraically and gotten an inverse hyperbolic sine function right? I'm working on some of these problems right now and I don't see the point of doing it this way vs. looking it up on a table.
