if you watch this 5 times you can probably get to the heart of calculus and here is a tidbit - if the line is 'X squared' - then the derivative or slope is '2X' if the line is 'X to the third power' - then the slope is '3 (X squared)' if the line is 'X to the 4th' - then the slope is '4 (X to the third)' if the line is 'X to the 5th' - then the slope is '5 (X to the 4th)' if the line is 'X to the 6th' - then the slope is '6 (X to the 5th)' yup - there is a pattern there the pattern is - bring down the exponent and put it at the front as the coefficient - and - reduce the exponent by 1 it is as simple as speaking pig latin the hard part is trying to understand how it works - and this video gives you a good explanation of that -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
