Video Example: Equation of a line program

Raw Transcript

Ah, this video is going to be on the equation of a line, with regards to my fabulous programs that I’ve programmed on the TI-89 calculator, and ah, these are pretty simple calculations, but it’s easy to forget how to do it. It’s nice to have a program to be able to do it. So, I’m going to clear the calculator here and we’re going to put in; 2nd Alpha, 2nd has to appear here, and then the alpha has to, to become darkened to go for the letters. And I have to put that in the entry line – I n d e x – and you will to if you buy the programs, ah alpha, it goes back to the number system, and then put the closed parentheses in, and press enter and we’re into the ah menu. You’ll notice there are many, many things on this menu. Definite integral, ahh derivatives, you know in algebra all of derivatives, ah transforming ah problems. Curl, product rule, quotient rule, whatever, but we’re going to do equation of a tangent line, you can press alpha e, or you can scroll down like this, and ahh, and press enter equation of a tangent line. Ah we’re going to enter the function, five times x squared, plus six times x, plus one let’s say – notice I forgot to press alpha, first, which is easy to do on this calculator, and so I’m gonna go back with two, I’m going to change it, and I’ll press alpha, five time x squared, plus six times x, plus one, and that’s better, five x squared plus six x plus one that’s the function – now say it’s ok – so we’re gonna, I generally press the one before the choice – and then we’re going to enter the x y component, you know, x, the values for x and y, so let’s do that now, let’s do it. You have to the parenthesis in first – you have to go alpha again – and put, let’s go three comma sixty-four, something – close out the parenthesis – and let’s see – now we got three, x y z equals three sixty four, that’s cool – press one – and we have the original function – we find the derivative of it, the slope – which equals ten x plus six – at three – our x choice that we had, is the derivative, derivative at three is ten, and then add the three to the x and there’s the – thirty six is the slope which is m – press enter again – shows you the formula – you write this stuff on your paper as you go – and at y equals sixty four – which was our choice – sixty four equals m x plus b, so sixty four equals thirty six that was the slope – times 3 – which was x – plus b, sixty four minus one o eight minus forty four – here’s the formula – y equals 36 s+ minus 44 – for that point- pretty neat,  huh? everystepcalculus.com – check it out

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
