Optimization! (Calculus 1)

This video is about optimization in Calculus 1, a strategy we can use in order to find the best possible outcome based on a given problem with a restraint. Whether that's the oil can that can hold 1 liter of oil with the fewest materials, or a pen with the biggest area given 1,000 feet of fencing, we can use optimization in Calculus to find these best results.

Hi there! Today's lesson is about Optimization, a Calculus 1 concept that we can use in real life! Those can be rare. Anyways, when we are given a word problem with a restraint, we can use this strategy in order to get the best outcome. For example, if a farmer has 1,000 feet of fencing and wants to build the biggest pen possible based on area, we can use the 1,000 feet restraint to find the biggest pen possible.
