Post #21

So this week we reviewed and took AP Practice tests, wow, I didn't realize I needed THAT much work! Therefore, I'm kinda at a lost on what to do my blog on because just about everything thing we reviewed I didn't know. SCARYY!!!

What I don't understand is how to know what the problem is asking me. I know no one can teach me that, but I'm going to start looking over all my notes that we've been taking so see if it will start clicking, because going from calculus to MAO I notices that the problems repeat and its just a little different or it just has different numbers, so hopefully that helps!

Let's just go over what we should know for the NON-CALCULATOR PORTION in order to do these problems:
~know the rules that go with the limit going to infinity
• If the exponents are the same then take the coefficients of them!
• If the exponents are not the same then look at which one’s bigger:
O If the top is bigger then it’s infinity
o If the bottom is bigger then it’s zero
~know the rules for the definition of a derivative
~know what a tangent line is and how to find one
~know how to read charts and figure them out
~know what the graphs of equations look like
~know how to take the derivative
• Using the product rule
• Using the quotient rule
• Using all formulas given on the first day
~know how to take the integral
~know that when you’re finding the area you’ll be integrating
~know how to take the average value---1/b-a(integral from a to b or f(x))
~know how to find velocity
~know how to do LRAM, RRAM, and MRAM


I really need to remember the H’(x)= 1/ f ’[H(x)]…
I don’t know how to do anything with optimization or linearization =(
I really feel lost right now…I can’t explain none of these problems except for the limit ones so I really need help on anything you feel that you KNOW…thanks!
