@jim_thompson5910 Calculus fun woo! http://cyh.leeschools.net/UserContent/Documents/AP%20CalcBC%20SumAssign%2014-15.pdf

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Now I don't have to upload every file :P We left off on 18

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

That sounds right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have fun

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Is it B?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep that's when g' is negative

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Woo I remember because you said if it's the graph of g' and it's under the x axis then it's negative. And those are the only ones fully under the x axis

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah negative derivative intervals correspond to decreasing intervals

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

on the original function

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I don't know what to do with 19, I don't remember from when we learned that

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I have an idea but I'm not sure because I over-think everything

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how do we find the slope of a tangent line?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Uhmm the derivative?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because 2x+3 represents the slope at any point on f(x), this means that f ' (x) = 2x + 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how do you find f(x)?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Take the integral?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep or antiderivative

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

f(x) = x^2+3x+C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you're told that the curve passes through (1,2) so f(1) = 2

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Uhm 2=1^2+3(1)+C? C=-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read this reply..... I just wasted 2 seconds of your life.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Uhm thanks.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I guess.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

C = -2 is correct

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

So y=x^2+3x-2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

And I believe that 20 is E? You plug in 3 to each and they both =5 which means the limit is the same as it approaches from the left and right, right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

careful

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is a potential trap

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I recommend you derive each piece and examine the slopes of the tangent lines

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

............what

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

especially as x ---> 3

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Why would I take the derivative of each?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the limit exists at x = 3, check the function is continuous at x = 3, check the function is differentiable at x = 3, ...hmm how do you check that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let y = x+2 what is y' ?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Uhm I'm not sure Also how do we know that I and II are true

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

y'=1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok I guess I should start the problem over

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Sure :P

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

plug x = 3 into each piece and you get y = 5 for each piece that proves the limit at x = 3 exists

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and because f(3) = 5, along with the fact that the limit is also 5, this proves that the function is continuous at x = 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so statements I and II are true

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

But 3 isn't because the derivatives are different? So AKA the slopes are different?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

exactly

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the slope of the first piece is 1, while the second piece has a slope of 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

That abrupt change from 1 to 4 when you get to x = 3 (and pass it) proves it's NOT differentiable Basically that sharp point "pops" the bubble of differentiability and makes it not the case. That's how a classmate described it one time and I like that analogy lol.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it's actually D) I and II only

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not differentiable at x = 3 specifically

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Oh okay I understand

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

And 21 is a right? Because the graph crosses the x axis in those 2 places?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct, you need to have a change in sign of f'' to represent a change in concavity for that point to be an inflection point

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Wait what? This is the graph of f''(x) and I know f''(x) shows concavity and points of inflection right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, the given graph is f'' the roots of f'' are potential points of inflection

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

however, there needs to be a change from positive to negative (or vice versa) on f'' as it passes through the root for it to be an actual point of inflection

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Okay thought so

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I have no idea how to do 22 lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that line is y = f ' (x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we know 2 points that lie on that line (0,6) and (1,0)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we can find the actual equation of f ' (x)

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

So that means f(x) is a parabola type graph

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

And we know the parabola passes thorough (0,5) right?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Oh wait so we have 2 points and we can find the graph of f'(x) take the integral and find f(x) and plug in 1 right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

exactly

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

f'(x) = 6x+6 So that means f(x)= 3x^2+6x+C

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

But how do we find C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(0) = 5

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

c=-105?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Dont think that's right lolol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

seems way too small

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

c=5 :P

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

f(1)=3+6+5= 14 but thats not an answer

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Oh wait sorry I put 3x^2 and not -3x^2

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

f(1)=8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep d) 8

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

And 23 I have no idea how to do that... I think I kind of remember but not fully?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

have a look at this page http://www.sosmath.com/calculus/integ/integ03/integ03.html

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Kind of rings a bell but I still cant remember how to do it

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

I know something that like... if the 0 and x^2 aren't in the right place you like make it negative times the integral or something?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

On that page, you should see this

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Okay?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Weird how I can't remember this because I think this topic was the one I got a 100 on the test on LOL

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's define F(x) to be \[\Large F(x) = \int_{0}^{x^2} g(t)\] where \[\Large g(t) = \sin(t^3)\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Derive both sides of the first equation to get \[\Large F^{\prime}(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{0}^{x^2} g(t)\right)\] \[\Large F^{\prime}(x) = g(x^2)*\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)\] \[\Large F^{\prime}(x) = \sin((x^2)^3)*2x\] \[\Large F^{\prime}(x) = 2x\sin(x^{6})\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

again I'm using the rule found on that page I sent you

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yeah no I dont get it

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Let me open my textbook and see what looks familiar

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Oh right I see how to do the Fundamental Theorem I remember it However the only problem is I'm not sure how to take the integral of sin(t^3) lol

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Oh this is the 2nd fundamental theorem they want, let me look at that

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The answer is C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you forgot about deriving x^2 to get 2x

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

2x sin x^6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

What do I do for 24?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how do we find slopes of tangent lines?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Derivative of f(x)
