Calculus: Derivative of x^(x^x)

You can learn to graph as well as a calculator using calculus. The lesson introduces using derivatives to find critical points needed to graph polynomials. Pupils learn to find local maximums and minimums and intervals of increase and...

Serve up the definition of the derivative two ways. Video three in a series of 31 begins with making the distinction between the difference quotient and the definition of the derivative. The presentation shows two ways the definition is...

Use derivatives to find equations of lines. Pupils learn more rules to use as shortcuts to find derivatives. Using the rules, they find the equations of the tangent line and the normal line at a given point. Scholars then apply the new...

Despite what you thought, you can differentiate between continuity and differentiability. Using a short lesson, pupils learn how differentiability and continuity relate to each other. It provides three descriptions of when a function is...

Derivatives are so fun that sometimes one wants to take the derivative multiple times. The sixth of seven installments in Unit 3 - Differentiation focuses on finding higher-order derivatives. After learning about the notation, scholars...

This video covers the differential notation dy/dx and generalizes the rule for finding the derivative of any polynomial. It also extends the notion of the derivatives covered in the Khan Academy videos, "Calculus Derivatives 2Ó and...

By defining the formal definition of a derivative, f(x), Sal is able to find the general form of the derivate function for the example f(x) = x2. He continues to stress the importance of an intuitive understanding of derivative functions.

Sal continues where he left off with the last video, "Derivatives 1,Ó by looking at the equation y = x^2 and examining the slope of the secant line at a specific point, and again defining the limit as x approaches zero to get the slope...

Learners explore lists and determine the derivative for that list. They use regressions to discover equations.
