AP Calc AB FR predictions?

<p>Any thoughts on what will be on the FR section...?</p>

<p>My teacher told me they will ask slope field, min max optimization ****, related rates, integral area under curve def.</p>

<p>any more thoughts?</p>

<p>Most likely slope field and integral area/volume thing for sure.</p>

<p>definitely area/volume and particle problem
maybe dif eq. and accumulation function</p>

<p>My teacher also said slope field... something we haven't done at all! We just went over a problem last week and one this week of it..</p>

<p>what's an accumulation function?</p>

<p>like the intergral from 1 to x</p>

<p>Slope fields are REALLY simple. They usually give you some equation in the form of dy/dx = whatever.</p>

<p>Since you know that dy/dx IS the slope...all you have to do is plug in x and y-coordinates into the "whatever" part of the equation. You get the x and y-coordinates from the graph. i.e. they supply a graph that goes from -2 to 2 on the x axis, and -2 and 2 on the y axis. if you choose the origin, which is (0,0), you plug 0 for x and 0 for y into that "whatever" equation. Whatever you get is the slope. Then you just estimate the slope and draw it on the origin.</p>

<p>Sorry if this is confusing. Easier if I could show it visually.</p>

<p>Yeah...... the slopefield, particle(velocity), related rates, area under curve, volume are very simple...
5 5 5 5 5!!!</p>

<p>yea this test will probably not be too hard, FR Calc = Area/Volume under curve, Position/Velocity/Acceleration Function definitely, Non Calc = Interpreting a f ' graph or table, slopefield?, related rates?</p>

<p>but my english sucks, so I loses all my points on misinterpreting the question.
That sucks.</p>

<p>Yeah, but usually a separation of variables component is tied into slope fields :/
--I find myself confusing the rules when it comes to anti-differentiation. Just don't forget a constant somewhere!</p>

<p>My Calc teacher said he is predicting that they will have a slope field, one where you have to either sketch a curve given a box of information or given f '(x) (example: f '(x)= 2x(x-2)^3(x+5)^2 ) where you have to tell maxs, mins, critical points, points of inflection, etc. He also said their will probably be one with bounded area/volume of a revolution.</p>

<p>omg slopr fields are easy....i also like intergration by parts...is that gonna be on it tho?
nehoo, i hate it when the free response asks u to justify ur answer >.<</p>

<p>how about newton's method or Rhiemman sum?</p>

<p>muahaha...I know but I can't say anything till 40 hours later..hehe</p>

<p>anyone know how to use the taylor series on a ti 89 titanium calc?</p>
