AP Calc BC cram

<p>If I were to cram for this exam in one day(hypothetically of course) what would be the most important topics to cover? I know most of it but their might be some holes I need to fill.</p>

<p>Bump I’d like to know this as well</p>

<p>Definitely know series and sequences. The series for sinx, e^x, etc, and the different tests such as Ratio test, P-Series, etc. </p>

<p>Remember the key derivatives of derivatives and integrals, ESPECIALLY trig. I’d recommend knowing the obscure ones, such as trig inverses. </p>

<p>Applications of integrals, such as finding the volume of a object rotated around the y axis, curve length, RAM, etc.</p>

<p>Euler’s method seems to be somewhat important.</p>

<p>Limits, L’Hopital’s Rule, etc.</p>

<p>IMO, Calc C is the trickiest part, solely because of all the formulas to memorize.</p>

<p>Copied and pasted from a different thread. The bolded ones show up on pretty much every test without exception. The rest will likely be on the exam as well.</p>

<p>These are the things you should ABSOLUTELY know going into the test:
1. Derivatives and anti-derivatives including trig including integration by parts and partial fractions and L’Hopital. Maximums and minimums.
2. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
3. Mean Value Theorem & Average Value Theorem
4. Solids of Revolution (Area of curves and Volume of curves revolved around axis) as well as arc length
5. Velocity, acceleration and speed vectors. Including finding distance.
6. Taylor/Maclaurin Series including error bounds
7. Euler’s Method
8. Power Series and convergence tests including Ratio Test and interval of convergence
9. Polar Curves, derivatives and areas</p>

<p>Is Newton’s method of approximation covered? Also, regarding logistic functions, will there be anything more difficult than finding the carrying capacity? Will we be expected to integrate a logistic differential equation?</p>

<p>Logistic - Maybe on the free response if we’re unlucky but I would review it just in case</p>

<p>I don’t have a graphing calculator :confused: how many questions can be solved only by a graphing calc ?</p>

<p>You will NEED a graphing calculator. I suggest you find/borrow/buy one before Wednesday.</p>
