      Our professors simply link us to youtubers & other professors' videos and then assigns homework generated & graded by third-party websites. I'm beginning to wonder if these professors are worth the salaries they're making.

      @@beatriceines3456 Yeah, that's the flip side of it, there are plenty of teachers that do so much and truly change a student's life by being such a beneficial influence, and their income doesn't come close to reflecting that :( Some of my high school teachers really went above and beyond to make the world a better place in any way they could, but they probably get paid around the same as my current Professor Redirect. He was a friendly guy the one time I've talked with him, but he's never taught our class a single thing.
      If I didn't need a degree to prove my education, I'd be able to do the exact same thing I'm currently doing, but for free, and that's what really gets to me. With the k-12 teachers you mentioned, there's no way I'd have learned anything without (most of) them. Those are the real MVPs.

    @dreadhaisler6054 Před 9 měsíci +10

    38:53 This is one hell of a solution, but still I learned another approach. But if you want a less complicated solution, remember that when dealing with distance on a cartesian plane problems, the square of the distance formula is also maximized and minimized. Basically, if the distance formula is D=√(Xsub2-Xsub1)²+(Ysub2-Ysub1)², then the square of it is D²=(Xsub2-Xsub1)²+(Ysub2-Ysub1)². Always remember than you can always find the derivative of this function even if it's in its squared form.
    Now, we need at least 1 set of point and express this function into one variable in order to differentiate. Remember that the other set of point is given at the origin-(0,0). So, D²=(Xsub2-0)²+(Ysub2-0)² or just basically D²=(X)²+(Y)².
    The value of Y is already given as Y=3x+5. Substituting this expression into the equation; D² = x² + (3x+5)².
    Always remember the square of a binomial in the form (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², that just means you need to take the square of the first term, multiply the first and second term and multiply the result to 2, and square the second term. We will get:
    D² = x² + 9x² + 30x + 25
    Simplying this equation;
    D² = 10x² + 30x + 25
    Now, this looks like a quadratic equation right? But don't let the function deceive you, take note that you'll be DIFFERENTIATING the equation.
    So, dD²/dx= 20x+30 and don't forget to equate to 0 to find the maximum/minimum value.
    Solving for x, x = -30/20 or simplified; -3/2. Then the rest will be easy.

    This has been very helpful for me to solve optimization problems thank you.
    One thing I don't understand is why is it that whether or not we are finding the max or the min we just set the derivative to zero and find the variable?
    For example in the first problem we find the maximum product but what if the question had asked for the minimum product? Then using this method would not have given us the correct answer.

    another way to think about question 1 is setting the sum equal to 2 sides of a perimeter of a 4 sided shape. The maximum area will always be a square, therefore the 2 side lengths must be equal

    Very good stuff but you have very few videos in numerical analysis.
    Life is so hard in this course without your assistance.

    Thanks for the videos, but a small suggestion, please put the questions a little lower so it doesn't get covered by the title of the video when paused in fullscreen.
