A day in my life.

This is a day in the life of a private jet broker. I get into the office at six a.m., three hours before my team. I like getting in early to catch up on work and establish my plan of action for the rest of the day. I then call my clients in Asia, do emails, and take more calls.

"Yeah, the price is 49.8 million dollars."

Later that morning, I met this 21-year-old entrepreneur with ambitious plans in the aviation industry. His name is Xander Futonet. He wants to revolutionize luxury travel. I then took Xander through this app that I built to help people buy their dream jet.

Before I knew it, it was the afternoon, and I jumped in the car and headed down to Saving Street. One thing most people never really get to see is that I'm on a phone 24/7. Clients, brokers, lawyers, buyers, sellers from all over the world—it never stops. I just had time to squeeze in a haircut with Chris. Great guy, always good to see him.

Haircut done, straight back to the office. Non-stop 12-hour days are common; that's what it takes to make it in this business. As I ride back, I bumped into Fabio, a man I've known for 30 years. Back in the office and straight into another meeting. These guys also have very ambitious ambitions.

Derivative of a parametric function

So what we have here is X being defined in terms of T, and Y being defined in terms of T. Then, if you were to plot over all of the T values, you get a pretty cool plot just like this. So, you know, you try T equals z, figure out what X and Y are; T is eq…

[Applause] [Music] Now, at some point growing up, most of us have been captivated by one of these: a slinky. But recently, I found out one of the most mesmerizing things about how it moves is something I’d never seen before: how it falls. So what’s so s…

Secant line with arbitrary point (with simplification) | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

A secant line intersects the graph of f of x, which is equal to x² + 5x, at two points with x-coordinates 3 and T, where T does not equal 3. What is the slope of the secant line in terms of T? Your answer must be fully expanded and simplified. And my apo…
