OFFICIAL AP Calculus AB Free Response Answers

<p>we need to organize our answers on to one thread. The other threads are a bit unfocused.</p>

<p>Post your answers for the whole free response, and the typical curve for AP Calculus AB.</p>

<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>

<p>a) 1.9 for area</p>

<p>b) about 10 pi or about 30 something</p>

<p>c) Cannot remember</p>

<p>2) </p>

<p>a) 12 and 16, I think
b) cannot remember
c) yes....is it with 500 cars?</p>

<p>3)</p>

<p>a) </p>

<p>4)</p>

<p>a) 11 /20
b) describes the displacement of the rocket A because it is the integration of the rate or velocity</p>

<p>not sure of value but I hear that it is 2020?</p>

<p>c) Rocket B is faster</p>

<p>5) Completely Blank (I hate slope field)</p>

<p>6) Little to no idea what the heck this was about</p>

<p>I probably got a 3 because my multiple choice was pretty good.</p>

<p>"3a.</p>

<p>g(4)=3
g'(4)=0
g''(4)=-2</p>

<p>Also 3b is a relative minimum, not neither.

Here are the answers I had for the free response (well, what I remember of them anyway. I don't feel like doing them over again). Can anyone confirm them?</p>

<p>1.
a) 1.4xxx or 1.9xxx, don't remember
b) 10.xxx pi
c) pi * <a href="y+2">integral</a>^2-(e^y)^2, bounded by whatever those intersections are</p>

<p>2.
a) Straightforward
b) 12.xxx to 16.xxxx
c) Yes</p>

<p>4.
b) 2020
c) Rocket B</p>

for question #6 </p>

<p>i got
a)
g'(0) = a - 4
g''(0)= A^2 + 4</p>

<p>h'(x)= Cos(kx)<em>f'(x)-k</em>sin(kx)*f(x)
b) y= 4x+10
"</p>

<p>Here are the questions to the Free Response:</p>

<p><a href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/repository/_ap06_frq_calculusab_51707.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/repository/_ap06_frq_calculusab_51707.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>g"(0)=A^2 + 3</p>

<p>3c) I believe it is y-44 = 2(x-108)</p>

<p>WHy is the answer to 2c yes? How do you solve for it?</p>

<p>Here are the 2006 FR answers, courtesy of Mr. Calculus: <a href="http://users.adelphia.net/%7Esismondo/AP2006.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://users.adelphia.net/~sismondo/AP2006.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Seems like I got more points off than I thought.</p>

<p>Neo Yoyo: cool thanks for the link. Anyone know how much the domain will be worth in problem #5b, I assume max 3 points, i forgot to do it, damn!</p>

<p>It's amazing, I can't remember what I wrote for those and I just took the test two days ago, my memory sucks.</p>

<p>Heh, I'm the same rage_fan. I don't remember most of what I did.</p>

<p>oh wow that site has the BC answers too.
awesome!
strangely... either i have poor memory and dont recall putting down such answers as my own answers.... or i just totally bombed that test... which would really suck. oh man i was hoping for a 4/5... now im not sure.
ihope it's my faulty memory.</p>

<p><3 Mr. Calculus</p>

<p>I really screwed up the 2nd half of slope field
other than that..everything seems fine. yay</p>

<p>i was hoping id get more right but w/e i knew the free reponse was crazy hard....can anyone break down how much each part of a question will be worth? and possible post a curve?</p>

<p>Oh lord... I didn't get ONE complete FR question right. I got lots of parts of 4/6 of em right, other 2 not even close. Multiple choice section I did ok... god I'm hoping for just a 3.</p>

<p>f_ck, I forgot to put pi down....damn it.</p>

<p>does any body have the official scoring guidelines? also, how do you calculate your score? how many points do you need to get a 4 or 5?</p>

<p>I think I got a 54 on FR :-D. Of course, i probably missed a few points for explanations maybe, but i got all of the answers right.</p>

<p>If I got 40 out of 54 on the FR, do I still have a shot at a 4 or 5?</p>
