Need help with AP Calc BC ciriculum

Test Preparation AP Mathematics & Computer Science

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>Today I looked at the CB (CollegeBoard) program for Calc Bc.</p>

<p>I decided to self-study Calc BC w/ Calc AB </p>

<p>The link is <a href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap-calculus-course-description.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap-calculus-course-description.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I dont understand what they mean by </p>

<p>*Parametric, polar, and vector functions. The analysis of planar curves includes those given in parametric form, polar form, and vector form.</p>

<p>Can someone interpret that for me? AND in a Stewart 6e Calc or Ron Larson 10e Calc give the chapter numbers of where that exists for me! Please! Thanks :)</p>

<p>What do they mean by</p>

<p>L’Hospital’s Rule, including its use in determining limits and convergence of
improper integrals and series .</p>

<p>And the term convergence, isnt that used in Series, which is in front (way ahead)??</p>

<p>Also citations to the text for the chapters would be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>I think you can answer most of your questions yourself, as there are probably only a few who would do the work for you in a forum. Besides, why do you want us to interpret a chapter for you while asking for the chapter? Can’t you interpret that for yourself by looking at/reading the chapter? In Ron Larson’s textbook, it’s chapter 10. </p>

<p>What is [L’Hopital’s</a> rule](<a href=“http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/LHospitalsRule.aspx]L’Hopital’s”>http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/LHospitalsRule.aspx)?</p>

<p>What is [url=&lt;a href=“convergence of functions - Google Search”&gt;convergence of functions - Google Search]convergence[/url</a>]?</p>

<p>Google is a very powerful tool.</p>

<p>Do you know what parametric and polar form are? If not, I can see why you’re asking that question.</p>

<p>Same with L’Hopital’s rule. It just says that the limit of a ratio of two functions in x is equal to the limit of the ratio of their derivatives (in x). Useful when working with indeterminate expressions.</p>

<p>Also convergence shows up because you will learn about different Taylor series, and showing whether a series converges using several different methods.</p>
