Question

Calculus Help: The answer is supposed to be C, but it seems to me that it should be D? (picture attached)

Answer 1

g(3) looks correct to me... g(x) is basically the area under the curve from 0 to x, which is greatest from 0 to 3.

Answer 2

Yes, that was the logic I used as well, but my answer key says it's g(1). I know the answer key isn't wrong, I just have no idea how it's right.

Answer 3

How do you know the answer key isn't wrong?

Answer 4

It's for an official AP practice test, the key has been reviewed hundreds of times.

Answer 5

I just did my calc AB exam last week lol

Answer 6

i was prepared for bc but my teacher didnt let me do it cuz i only prepared for like a week for all of the extra stuff in bc..she wanted me to have spent more time. Now let's take a look at this problem.

Answer 7

@KeasbeyDays

Are you sure ur looking at the answer to the right question in the key? Because g(1) is incorrect for sure.

Answer 8

Oh wow that was actually the problem. Somehow my answer key got flipped to the next page and I didn't notice because all the pages are just numbers with letters next to them. It is D. Thanks a lot. I feel pretty dumb now though haha.

Answer 9

I agree. I don't care how many times it's been reviewed... unless there's something I'm missing, it's wrong. You can calculate the area to check...

Answer 10

Ah :)

Answer 11
