How To: Derive the area of triangle using trigonometry

This video teaches the method to find the area of triangle using law of cosines and law of sines together with the area formula. Law of cosines is used when you have the length of three sides. It states that the square of side 'a' is equal to addition of the squares of sides 'b' and 'c' minus the product of 2, b, c and cosA. The values of sides are substituted and angle A is found. This is substituted in the area formula which states that the area of a triangle is equal to the half of the pro...

How To: Use implicit differentiation

Taking this formula 9x²+y²=9 your instructor shows you how to find the solution for the variable y. Finding a second derivative is no more difficult that finding the first derivative, you only have to do the problem equation through twice. The derivative of 9x² will be 18, of y² will be 2y [this is the same as 2(y), 2 x y or 2 * y]. The problem now goes -18x + 2y dy/dx=0. This equation is solved for dy/dx making the next step in the problem go -18x 18x+2y dy/dx=0-18x, 2y dy/dx= -18x. The next...
