I'm certain I would have gotten a five on AB, but I decided to chance BC. Bad idea it seems now, there were a lot of series in there that I didn't know how to do :/

Oh well, a 4 is still good for admissions right (homeschooled)? And I'll retake next year for the credit.

I believe so, yes. A 4 is enough to grant credit at many colleges too, so that's a plus

I got answers similar to stix's and also got
(2,3) because it was (-oo,3) u (2,oo)

For the range one on the logistic curve, I put (6,8) but I also whimped out and put (0,6) and I said something about if the points on the solution are above y=6 then it is (6,8), but if they're below it is (0,6). Is this incorrect?

I can be wrong, but when I did my inequalities I got that one was met for (-oo,3) and the other from (2,oo) and the cross section of that is (2,3)

(2,3) is the correct interval for 5(b).

intellec7, the initial condition of (0,8) helps you to determine which one of those solutions is correct.

Although since you already know y=8 is part of the range, it would have to be (6,8], rather than (6,8).

you only need about a 65% to get a 5 on the AP exam

Yes they are, just take a look at 1/x on (0, oo)

And while we're on this topic, here's the work for that question:

Sorry for the messiness, writing with a mouse is pretty hard.

Anyways, you can see from the work that f'(x) is negative on (-oo, 3) and f''(x) is positive on (2, oo)

^ i had all that same work, but then I was being stupid, and I wrote that it never happens because it not in the same interval...do you think I'll get partial credit for the same work as you have above..(like maybe a 1 out of 2 points or something ?

On 3 (a) and 3 (b), I got 80+128(x-2) and 80+128(x-2)+488/6(x-2)^2+448/18(x-2)^3, and my answers were 67.8 and 68.677, did I mess up somewhere?
