AP Calculus AB 2013 Thread

<p>@kimmylou same question</p>

<p>average rate of change is just slope/secant line
f(b)-f(a)/b-a</p>

<p>average value is 1/b-a times the integral of f(x).
a is your lower limit, b is your upper.
most of the practice frq’s I’ve done have explicitly asked for the average value of (whatever) on the interval.</p>

<p>Thanks. I know what they mean. I know the formula involved. But when I see a question, I don’t know which to use.</p>

<p>i’m sooo nervous =(</p>

<p>What are you guys practicing from right now?</p>

<p>So this was my teacher’s first year teaching this class, and it went horrible.
I mean, I can understand a bit of a rough first year, but a lot of what she did really had no excuse. In other words, I’m totally screwed for this exam.</p>

<p>I’m watching as many integration and application videos as I can. Maybe I’ll get lucky and pull a 3. I really hope I get a 3 just to maintain my dignity. I’ve never failed an AP before.</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>^Ouch. Best of luck on the exam.</p>

<p>^Same here. Good Luck Everyone!</p>

<p>Good luck guys. :D</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! :)</p>

<p>omg im scared</p>

<p>I was feeling confident earlier, but kinda nervous now. I reviewed by doing the 2011 Form B FRQs and didn’t do as well as I hoped. Does anybody know if that form is unusually difficult or is it pretty typical?</p>

<p>How was it guys?</p>

<p>My opinion: First 28 questions had hard questions every here and there. I know the material, but I had a problem with the time (stupid proctor) and I stressed so much that I couldn’t think properly. The rest was not bad.</p>

<p>Hehehehhh DANG DONE ALREADY… WHAT.
NOT EVEN IN THERE YET.
Well, going in cold for several months without Calculus BC–finally reviewing the basic formulas right now and hoping to pull a 5. Yeah, I’m an arrogant loser, but Calculus is my thing and that while everyone’s studying, I plan to problem solve instead of memorize the problem steps.</p>

<p>Think I got a four, sadly. MC was kind of easy. There were a few trick questions but I don’t think I got too many wrong. The FRQ’s were kind of difficult though. First two I barely finished and missed one section in each part I think. The next two were the two hardest ones and then the last two were easy.</p>

<p>Probably the easiest test I’ve taken in my life this morning</p>

<p>not even kidding</p>

<p>All the previous exams had more difficult FRQs, and the multiple choice only had one or two slightly interesting problems</p>

<p>Anyone want to get a discussion going?</p>

<p>Sure.</p>

<p>For the differential equation FRQ, did you get something like y=ln(2x3+6x+4x-4)? And tangent line to that was like y=-3(x-1) and then the linearization was y=-3(1.2-1) = -0.6 or something.</p>

<p>I agree, Stronker, this year’s exam was ridiculously easy.</p>
