12/12 post

okayyy, so this past week we have been going over calculus AB stuff, reviewing for the ap test at the end of the year since it is half ab stuff and half bc stuff.
we are done learning calc bc stuff for the year! :D yayyyyyy. hehe

soooo, i shall go over AP CALC AB information for you fellas.

limit rules as x approaches infinty.
1. if top degreee > bottom degree = +/- infinity
2. if top degree < bottom degree = 0
3. if top degree = bottom degree = divide leading coefficients.

when to use l'hopitals rule.
only if the limit is in indeterminate form, then this can be applied! you take the derivative of the top & bottom of the fraction, (separately) then take the limit again & see if it gives you a number/indeterminate form. repeat as many times as necessary.

rate of change problems.
write down all information given to you. figure out what is being asked for. memorize any formulas you may need, (volume of cube, cylinder, area of things, etc.), <-- use any of those formulas needed, plug in all information given, & solve. pretty simple, just make sure you utilize your time wisely and figure out what is being asked of you to find in the problem!


HELP:
please, someone go over any sequences & series stuff from calc bc. it drives me NUTS.
*truth is, I really just need to memorize all the formulas*
