Calculus AP Final Exam Review

Suggested use: From each section, survey the problems. Try a couple to see if you
know what to do. Check your answers in the back when possible. Find
corresponding examples in the book and deepen practice if you have trouble.

p. 66 # 29 36, #39-44

p. 84 # 1 10

p. 162 #1-12

p. 181 # 1 30 (Note: the final exam will not require you to find the derivative of
an inverse trig function).

p. 182 # 45 52

p. 270 # 3 6 and FRQ 2013 #3c

p. 302 # 7 14

p. 303 # 41 46

p. 316 # 15 39

p. 535 #7 16 (dy/dx only; note you might also be asked to find dx/dt and/or
dy/dt).

Remember to review the special units we did on Optimization (Farmer Brown) and
derivatives using the definition. Remember, you will only use the limit
definition if the directions explicitly require you to do so.

Also: Be able to use a graph of f and f, together with information about the graph,
to scketch a graph of f. e.g., 2013 FRQ #4 a c, plus sketch the graph of f.

General notes: The exam is very heavy on derivatives, very light on integrals. Most
of the questions are theory, there is very little application. Make sure you know the
derivatives of ex and ln(x), as they are prevalent on the exam. The derivatives of ax
and logax also appear on the exam. The derivatives of trig functions are on the
exam, but not inverse trig functions.

You are allowed a graphing calculator, but no notes or internet devices, on the
exam.

CAS graphing calculators (you know what it is if you have it) are technically not
permitted on the exam, however, I will not reasonably be able to control for that. To
compensate, you MUST show the steps in computing a derivative or integral: e.g.,
applying the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, simplifying radical exponents,
etc.
In general, you are required to show work (I prefer reasoning or supporting
evidence) for ALL problems, so be prepared to NEVER GIVE AN ANSWER WITHOUT
SUPPORTING WORK.
