So I'm going to talk about how to operate. I've watched some of the prior classes, and I'm going to assume that you've already sort of hired a bunch of relentlessly resourceful people, that you built a product that at least some people love, that you probably raised some capital, and now you're trying to build a company. So you've been forging a product, and now you've got to forge a company.

Actually, I argue forging a company is much more difficult than forging a product. The basic reason is people are irrational. You probably all know this—either your parents, your significant other, your brother or sister, your teacher, somebody in your life is irrational.

Perfect progressive aspect | The parts of speech | Grammar | Khan Academy

Hello, grammarians! Previously, I had covered three of the basic aspects of English, and that’s simple, perfect, and progressive. So, there’s just one more, and it’s a combination of the last two, and it’s called the perfect progressive. To recap what t…

Surprising My Dad With My NEW Dream Home!

Oh my gosh! This is huge! Now I know what 20-foot ceilings mean! I don’t think I’ve ever been in a room this big before. I mean, like a house. This is giving me a whole other experience of days. I think I’m moving here! That’s the house! What’s up, you g…

Finding the 100th term in a sequence | Sequences, series and induction | Precalculus | Khan Academy

[Instructor] We are asked what is the value of the 100th term in this sequence, and the first term is 15, then nine, then three, then negative three. So let’s write it like this in a table. So if we have the term, just so we have things straight, and t…

Radical functions differentiation intro | Derivative rules | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

Let’s say that we have a function f of x, and it is equal to -4 times the cube root of x. What we want to do is evaluate the derivative of our function when x is equal to 8. So, see if you can figure this out. All right, now this might look foreign to yo…

AP Chemistry multiple choice sample: Boiling points

Consider the molecules represented above and the data in the table below. We have the structure up here for non, the structure for 2, 3, 4-triopentane, which is really hard to say, so I’m going to abbreviate that TFP. Um, and we have this data in the tabl…

Worked example: coefficient in Maclaurin polynomial | Series | AP Calculus BC | Khan Academy

Nth derivative of g at x equals 0 is given by. So the nth derivative of G evaluated at x equal 0 is equal to n + 7 over n 3r for n is greater than or equal to 1. What is the coefficient for the term containing x^2 in the McLaurin series of G? So let’s ju…
