The 2010 Calculus BC Study Thread

<p>@crib, let’s just hope they won’t show up on this year’s exam then lol</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>^
I don’t think it’s necessary, but if you want to do it then you can?
I’m not sure either. :/</p>

<p>If they don’t give you units, then you don’t have to write any down (you don’t have to write the word “units” or “units squared”).</p>

<p>good luck everyone! make sure you don’t cram too much or you’ll get really stressed out when test actually comes.</p>

<p>and sleep early b/c you need energy;
coffee is also great for mental stimulus :)</p>

<p>@Esplin: The curves intersect at θ=2π/3 and θ=4π/3. These are your limits. They split the area into two parts: the part of the region defined by the circle, and the part of the region defined by the lima</p>

<p>i am scared off my pants (is this even a phrase lmao) for the frq this year.
and if i absolutely fail the m/c on the ap test, i’m gonna say it’s because i got bored. solving 28 consecutive noncalculator math problems makes people sleepy. I have really poor concentration hence I’m on here instead of studying</p>

<p>oh yes, and good luck everyone!</p>

<p>^ That’s an excellent reason. xD</p>

<p>Well I’m going to sleep now to avoid that. :slight_smile:
Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I am going to sleep at 9 tonight and wake up at 6:00am lol</p>

<p>Will they mark us off if we put more than 3 decimal places?</p>

<p>Does anybody else wish they took AB right about now? hahaha</p>

<p>No, but there is no point in doing so as they only consider the first three when grading.</p>

<p>i totally wish i was taking ab right now the curve is 10 times better and i don’t get taylor series at all. ■■■
anybody cramming like crazy? as in staying up until 3 am?</p>

<p>anybody understand anything about lagragne error??? i’m lost!!</p>

<p>come on, we get a AB subscore anyways. what’s with all the people wanting to revert back to AB >.></p>

<p>The grading curve is very close between the two classes, this site will let you play around with your test scores to see what you’ll get: [AP</a> Pass - AP Calculus Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/calculus]AP”>http://appass.com/calculators/calculus)</p>

<p>thanks for the link to the calculator! it’s calming me down a bit for calc AND art history… =)</p>

<p>glad it could be of help! tell your friends too!</p>

<p>how do i do derivatives and integrals on the calculator?
What else other equations can be used on the calc?</p>

<p>they’ll be in the ‘math’ menu. look for fnInt() and nDeriv() at the bottom.
Type it like
fnInt(x^2,x,1,3)
which is an integral of x squared in relation to x from 1 to 3</p>

<p>type derivatives like
nDeriv(x^2,x,2)
which is the derivative of x squared in relation to x where x is 2</p>

<p>you can do anything on your calculator as long as you have the equation written on your paper to get credit for the work, but using max/min wont earn you any credit</p>

<p>I am angry at APUSH because I am not doing well in the practices.</p>
