AP Calculus BC online/self study/help?

<p>Eng lit, gov, bio, env, euro, calc</p>

<p>Nice! Next year I am taking Bio, Euro, English Lang and Psychology. During this time I hope to teach myself Latin and take AP as a senior.</p>

<p>This is what I plan on taking senior year, Calc BC, Physics B, Latin, and Human Geo. Taking it easy, sort of :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Yeah, it’s going to be quite stressful.</p>

<p>I agree! Oh well… :D</p>

<p>How much about work do we have to know for the BC exam?</p>

<p>Princeton Review doesn’t cover work. Neither does Peterson’s.</p>

<p>^ What do you mean by “work?”</p>

<p>Sent from my DROID2 using CC</p>

<p>^ work…as in Force * displacement. </p>

<p>I didn’t have any work questions on this years BC exam. I still covered it just in case</p>

<p>^ Haha, humorous are we?</p>

<p>Shell method seems more confusing then disk/washer…</p>

<p>You will have to tell me how BC online goes! I plan to do the same my senior year. </p>

<p>So taking AB? Yeah, good luck! </p>

<p>Question guys, shell method…why is the p(x) always = to x?</p>

<p>On arc length and surfaces of revolution, is this formula s = c d integral sq rt 1 + {f’(x)}2 dy only used when you have an X= type function…? Same for surfaces of revolution…</p>

<p>I meant {g’(y)}^2</p>

<p>I have pre calc next year then BC senior year. </p>

<p>Guidelines:
Integration by parts: dv should be most complicated for integration… u is what’s left over</p>

<p>u derivative should be simpler than u, dv is what’s left over</p>

<p>int sec^3 x dx
dv = sec^2x
u = sec x</p>

<p>for dv, both can be integrated, but, neither is “simpler” when derivative is taken for u. I’m wondering do both guidelines have to be satisfied when choosing dv and u. Should I just memorize what is suggested to be chosen for dv and u like x^2 ex vs a arctanx?</p>

<p>I didn’t understand one bit of that… Looks like I have a lot of work to do from Pre Calc to AP Calc </p>

<p>You’ll do fine. Take it one step at a time.</p>

<p>For trig substitution, can it be applied to integrals that can be solved using u substitution, arctan, etc…? like you get int (d theta) sometimes?</p>
