Official AP Calculus Thread for 2009

<p>“For the rock concert one, do you divide the number of total hours/total number of people??”</p>

<p>That’s what I did</p>

<p>proace-you forgot one of the triangles or something. im POSITIVE they are both 1.6. and powerbomb, yeah you integrate (2-w)f(x) and divide by 980 people</p>

<p>kevin- she traveled 1.6 one way, .2 the other. Total = 1.8</p>

<p>DAYUNG!!! If I said the girl lived closer but stated the wrong # of miles, I would get atleast half the credit for that part right???</p>

<p>So the girl lived closer!?! ■■■ I put the same. >.<
I put spartans instead of people… xD</p>

<p>^ you might get points off for incorrect units XD</p>

<p>Okay, the girl traveled 1.8 and her displacement is 1.4
The guy traveled 1.6 I think and thus the girl lives closer to school.
What did everyone get for the question that was:
dy/dx=16(sinx)^3cosx
for x=pie/6 what is the value of y</p>

<p>i really want to talk about the fr lol
1.5 more days…</p>

<p>for the guy’s distance you integrated that function from 0-12 right? didn’t it turn out to be closer than whatever her distance was?</p>

<p>i think i figured out the last question…damn
was it one of those questions where its really hard until the light clicks?
then it’s like ■■■■ THIS IS EASY?
the power just goes where x is, right?
i am trying to be vague</p>

<p>BC Calc exam was all good…until Part B of the Free Response…***!, I had no idea what I had to do, or I didn’t know what the hell they were asking, I left like half of it blank, holy crap when I got to that section it was like I drove off a cliff…</p>

<p>ThaRussion, I totally agree with you. 5 and 6 were like, ?!?! what is this?!</p>

<p>Caren traveled 1.8 including the backtrack and return</p>

<p>If you’re looking at net distance:
Caren: 1.4
Larry: 1.6</p>

<p>the power of the function that the series represents just goes where x is in the series, right?</p>

<p>Any guesses for the AB curve? We took a practice test from a few years ago where a 5 was a 75</p>

<p>For #6, what was your general term for f(x)? I had (x-1)^(2n)/(n+1)! I think I may have missed something w/ the fact that it wasn’t a normal maclaurin series, but it centered around 1.</p>

<p>Points of inflection?</p>

<p>Eff. Subtracted 0.2 instead of 0.4. Nooo! :(</p>

<p>@DataBox - I said only -2 since you can’t differentiate at a sharp point (x = 0).</p>

<p>[edit]
That was for AB.</p>

<p>I got no points of inflection. I found the 2nd derivative and set it equal to zero. I moved a positive one to the other side to get -1 = a bunch of terms. Since all my terms turned out to be even degrees, it’s not possible for f’'(x) to equal zero. But this is based on my assumption that I got the earlier parts of the question right.</p>

<p>lol my mistake alicimoo</p>
