AP Calc AB Discussion Thread

<p>Haha Keasbey Nights, my class just did that question yesterday.</p>

<p>Def Integral[x,0]:sin t dt =
(a) sin x
(b) -cos x
(c) cos x
(d) cos x - 1
(e) 1 - cos x</p>

<p>Wow ***… My class just did that question yesterday as well. Do all AP Calc teachers use the same set of review questions?</p>

<p>1) I am self-studying
2) I got that from old AP tests
3) Maybe so.</p>

<p>Jersey - both those questions are from the 1998 released AB exam, I believe. We did it a few days ago in class.</p>

<p>That question’s answer is E.</p>

<p>finishing diff equations by next week and were reviewing from then on. then we move to bc topics after the exam. i got this.</p>

<p>Do we need to know how to integrate by parts in this exam? That is something my teacher didn’t cover…</p>

<p>^No. 10chars</p>

<p>How would you do #26 on 1988 (assuming you have the old test) without integrating by parts. This is the first test I took… maybe there is more questions like this?</p>

<p>Integration from 0 to pi/2 (xcosxdx) =
(A) -Pi/2
(B) -1
(C) 1-(Pi/2)
(D)1
(E) (Pi/2)-1</p>

<p>Calculator active?</p>

<p>no calculator portion</p>

<p>I know parts is BC now, then it may have been AB.</p>

<p>Tell me if the following diverge or converges</p>

<ol>
<li>ln(4n)/n</li>
<li>ne^(7n)</li>
<li>10/(nln(4n)^5))</li>
<li>(n+2)/(-4^n)</li>
<li>ne^(-7n)</li>
</ol>

<p>sum from 1 to infinity</p>

<p>also which one can and cant use the integral test for? is #2 the only one because it is decreasing?</p>

<p>I can’t help you, this is an AB thread. Don’t you already have a thread?</p>

<p>Yeah, AB doesn’t cover diverging and converging, or anything to do with series.</p>

<p>I’m ready to kill this test…</p>

<p>Just got a 44/45 on the 1993 multiple choice. (I missed #40. No excuses for that one, I didn’t really know how to analyze it.) My teacher’s been assigning practice tests for homework, which is nice since it kills two birds with one stone.</p>

<p>I continue to do past FRQs. I am confident I can score high enough on them now, it’s just the MCs I need to work on now…</p>

<p>Are partial derivatives covered in the Calc AB exam?</p>

<p>I believe partial derivatives are multivariable calculus topics.</p>
