are you making this calc mistake?

Calculus students love writing false equations because they don't feel like writing true ones. Have you done this? #calculus1 #apcalculus #mathshorts

I was so confused until I realized he was doing derivatives 💀

[thelifeofibo]

Bro is the type of guy who cancels the d’s in d/dx

[warrenrandall]

Someone forgot their differential notation and replaced it with an equals sign.

[storm.z]

Every time you say (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2, a puppy named 2ab vanishes

[camerontaylor]

But (x+1)^2=2(x+1)*1 which is 2x+2 or you get the same by (x+1)^2 is x^2+2x+1=2x+2 don't misinform the confused children

[vl]

This Is either a joke going over my head or I’m just stupid but aren’t most of these incorrect

[chadman]

For anyone not recognising the pattern or not familiar with calc: this means the derivative of a term is equal to expression on the right. d/dx[x²]=2x

[syndrac]

You made me question my own knowledge with that last one.

[wilsonchan]

Man went to calculus but forgot mr algebra

[jamall]

Bruh (x+1)^2=x^2 + 2x + 2, therefore the derivative of the former is 2x + 2. You could also just use chain rule and get the same thing.

[reedschultzgeo]

even if ur doing derivatives, the last answer of (2x+2) would be right no matter which way you do it. both FOILing it out and doing chain rule would result in that answer

[OptimusPhillip]

Last one is the correct derivative by chain rule. Alternatively, you can expand the binomial power and do sum rule to get the same result.

[bradester]

Im in calc and this is exactly what we are doing right now, its nice understanding what youre talking about

[jennifertate]

X squared = X * X, does not equal 2X = X + X.

[SickenerAbore]

I think you took a little too many magic mushrooms? Just a hunch

[Nullicity]

If anyone's wondering, calc stands for calculator. he's just using slang

[TARRSS]

It took 1 minute to realize he was doing derivatives

[polishsmolish]

Mfs who have never heard of derivatives

[loatheran]

That last equation really got me man, I keep forgetting that squaring is multiplying the x+1 by x+1 and not applying the square to both terms 😅

[VoidBucket]

My brain was like “yes a question you understand pi = 0 is false yes” only to be shut down seconds later😅
