Cracking The Ap Calculus ab Exam 2018

(2, 0):     =   6x  −   6,  which   is  6   at  (2, 0). Since   this    is  the slope   of  the tangent line,   and the

slope   of  the normal  line    is  the opposite    reciprocal, the slope   of  the normal  line    is  − . Plug    this

information into    the point-slope formula of  a   line    and simplify    to  slope-intercept form:   y   −   0   =

−       (x  −   2)  or  y   =   − x +   .


  1. D Either use L’Hôpital’s rule or recall that and = 1. In this case,


    can be  rewritten   as      =   1       1   =   1.


  1. C Following the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,


    (2  −   t^2 )   dt  =   [2  −   (x^3 )^2 ](3x^2 )   =   (2  −   x^6 )(3x^2 )    =   6x^2    −   3x^8.


  1. A Use u-substitution and recognize that the solution will be an inverse sine function.


=       =    .  Thus,   the final   solution    is: sin−1   +   C


  1. D f′(x) = 3x^2 + 2 and f′ (1) = 5.

  2. D Whenever we have a polynomial where the x’s and y’s are not easily separated, we need to use
    implicit differentiation to find the derivative.


Step    1:  Take    the derivative  of  everything  with    respect to  x.

Remember    that        =   1!

Step    2:  Simplify,   and then    put all of  the terms   containing      on  one side,   and all of  the other

terms   on  the other   side.
