    The unfortunate epitome of modern-day tertiary education is "learn elsewhere but pay us anyway" - Patrick, you help maintain the status quo. Thank-you.

    This is my first math analysis lesson, it's beautiful.
    There are so many brilliant and generous people out there.

    I've been done with calculus classes now for almost two years but I still sometimes click on your videos just cause they're awesome! Keep up the great vids, students everywhere are grateful for your easy to understand/follow explanations!

    This was a very good explanation! I have a problem in Calculus where I was asked to find the distance traveled of a robotic joint. Used this to refresh on finding arc length of curve segments.

    Can someone explain why the f(x_i*) turns into a regular f(x) in the last step?

    • @conelrad1447
      @conelrad1447 Před 5 lety +15

      cause the dx is getting infinitely small, so it literally doesnt matter what the difference between x and x* is

    • @alphamega3306
      @alphamega3306 Před 4 lety +11

      x_i* is a point along f(x) between x and x+ delta x. The limit as delta x goes to zero results in x = x + delta x, with x_i* between. So it’s the squeeze theorem, where the three values become the same at the infinitesimal limit.

    can u do it for rotational areas

  • @baselinesweb
    @baselinesweb Před 4 lety

    The whole part about the mean value theorem...could you replace that by dividing both delta X^2 and delta Y^2 (under the root) and then multiplying by delta X^2. You get the same result of 1+(delta Y/delta X)^2. Thanks for the video.

    if we have function and its derivative then we have a ration between them so we multiply this by 100 to find percentage, will this percentage gives some specific correlation between curve length of both or of function, if this method gives us some calculations then we will stop bothered about sharemarket updown

  • @anilkumarsharma1205

    is their any percentage like formula so we know that if function is given then we found the length of the curve as a frictional part of the equation
    try this phenomenon on a function which exist ever
    or the curve of the equation and total number of powers of every terms of the equation, try this at least ones

    This is my favorite application of Integral Calculus. Breaking up the curve, g(x), into segments allows use of the Pythagorean Theorem, provided they are short enough. Then the hypotenuse equals the segment. I write dl = sqrt (dx^2+dy^2). Then I just pull out a dx using distributive property and square root rule, sqrt ab = sqrt a x sqrt b. Then I have a product, f(x)dx = dl. Now integrate both sides. What is often overlooked, not understood, is that the summation is of area under a curve, not of lengths. Yes, we want to sum the segments, but Integral Calculus doesn't do that. It just sums areas, f(x)dx. Nonetheless, using just basic math, the integral can be formed. That's very cool, as is the fact that the length of the curve, g(x), is given by the area under another curve, f(x).
