***AP Calculus AB 2015-2016 Thread***

@silverhawk5 Great!!! :smiley:

@YoohooAddict what about the first question in the calculator part? The choices are -13, -11, 11, 13 and I forgot the last one.

@YoohooAddict was there an interval for that one with the y=2.7?

@ywaGGway I put -11 cuz it was - (12-1) = -11

@appgodxoxo Yes it was from [0,3]

since the upperhand limit was smaller than the lowerhand limit of the integral, you had to switch them and put a negative in front of the integral. @johncrosby97 @ywaGGway

I had no issues with 99% of problems but seems like I made 10000 stupid errors.

@johncrosby97 I got -13 too, but I wasn’t very confident about this answer.

what was the 16sin(x^3)cos(x) one?

Haha yeah I’m not sure now. College Confidential makes me second guess my whole life @ywaGGway

Yeah I got -13 so I’m sure I forgot to distribute the negative and just ended up adding it to the 12 (face palm) @YoohooAddict

@appgodxoxo What are the choices?

@appgodxoxo you take integral of it: u = sinx du = cosx dx so you get 16 times the integral of u^3 du which gives 16 x u^4/4 = 4u^4 = 4sin^4(x)

You had to use that 2.7… one to find the area too right?

integral 0 to 2.7… f(x) - integral 2.7… to 3 f(x), yes/no?

@YoohooAddict so what was the answer?

lol @johncrosby97 it happens man. That’s why I can’t ever score perfectly on SAT math: cuz I always make stupid mistakes lmao.

1/4?

@YoohooAddict I didn’t remember this question! Can you tell me what we need to find out?

@YoohooAddict do you remember what the equation was for the frq tangent line?

@appgodxoxo I don’t know if it was a definite integral or not, but I think it was indefinite. so I think you just leave it as is: 4sin^4(x)
