Overview
Learn to solve calculus problems from Stewart Calculus 7th edition with this 30-minute video tutorial. Focus on mastering the power rule for derivatives, including examples with radicals and without using the quotient rule. Practice finding equations of tangent lines, calculating first and second derivatives, and locating horizontal tangent lines. Explore the concept of limits as derivatives, including challenging examples like (x^1000-1)/(x-1) as x approaches 1. Gain skills in recognizing limits as derivatives without relying on L'Hopital's Rule. Enhance your understanding of fundamental calculus concepts through clear explanations and worked examples.
