<p>I don’t get how they simply just plug in the (x-1)^2 when you have x = 1 as the center</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Could you guys explain how to do #22 and 26 to me please. It’d be greatly appreciated. :).</p>

<p>Since x=1 is the center, you use the taylor series for (x-1)^n
I think you might be getting it confused with a maclauren, which has it as x^n</p>

<p>ppbuff,</p>

<p>Does that mean e^(x-1)^2 is centered at x =1 already because of the - 1 in the equation.</p>

<p>There is no need for adjustment, right?.</p>

<p>Yeah, you don’t need to adjust the e^(x-1)^2. it says “about x=1” also, so from that you know that it’s supposed to look like that.</p>

<p>Alright thanks bro! Good luck if ur taking the test tmr.</p>

<p>Has there ever been a free response dealing with work and force? My teacher has given us five free response for practice, and I haven’t seen any. I’m really rusty on the topic, so I don’t know whether it’s worth reviewing.</p>

<p>^ I don’t think that’s really a Calc topic at all.</p>

<p>No problem chicken, you too man</p>

<p>And Work and force seems more physics, not calculus. I’ve never seen it in my review book or practice tests, so i’m pretty sure they won’t test you over it.</p>

<p>F lagrange error omgggggggggggggggg</p>

<p>Luminouzz,</p>

<p>the one that is most related to physics I’ve seen is on 2009 FRQ FORM A Question 3</p>

<p>Hah Diablonecros nice name.</p>

<p>Anyone dare me to stay up all night studying for this cuz I suck at calc?</p>

<p>Oh and do we need units on FRQ answers if it doesn’t specifically ask for them?</p>

<p>^ You should have units. Usually they’re worth like a point aren’t they?</p>

<p>Always use units. If you can’t figure out a problem, just put down a random number with the correct units, as they will usually give you a point just for that.</p>

<p>How the hell do we do question 3a on the 2007 FRQ???</p>

<p>I don’t get how and why they set up the integral like that.</p>

<p>Can someone please tell me whether you need to make substituiton for ilimits of ntergation or not? </p>

<p>They do it for volume problems, but sometimes they don’t do it.</p>

<p>oh, here’s the link to the scoring guideline for that question </p>

<p>About units…</p>

<p>If we integrate something for area or volume, what do we use for units?</p>

<p>Just plain “units ^3” ? (units cubed).</p>

<p>I don’t get how and why they set up the integral like that. </p>

<p>^
They tell you the intersection points. Take the area of 3+cos 2 using this as limits.
The rest of the part is 2/3 of the area of the circle…you could also do an integral for that if you wanted.</p>

<p>Just plain “units ^3” ? (units cubed). </p>

<p>^ If it’s for area or volume there’s usually a unit in the problem isn’t there?
If there isn’t a unit I’d put that though to be safe.</p>
