<p>Hi. im having alot of trouble with the calulus ab free response questions. i cant seem to fiqure what methods i should use to solve the problems. can anyone descibe a studying method for the free response questions. Also what topics usually show up on the free response and which topics should i focus on in order to score high on the free response. Thanks for you responses</p>
<p>Our teacher has shown us a lot of free response questions and solutions. One of the recurring themes in the free responses is that of finding the area between two curves, the revolving it around a line to get a 3D figure, and finally using the calculus to get the volume of said figure.</p>
<p>Other things I've seen pop up frequently include kinematics questions (you get position or velocity or acceleration and you have to find the other two, making sure to show the separation of variables if you are integrating) and giving you a first derivative graph while asking you question about the original function and the second derivative.</p>
