Cracking The Ap Calculus ab Exam 2018

(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1
4 (1) − 6 = 4(1)^3 + 6(1)^2 − 2

−2 = 8

= −4


  1. C If we take the limit as x goes to from the left, we get an indeterminate form , so let’s use


L’Hôpital’s Rule.   We  take    the derivative  of  the numerator   and the denominator and we  get 

    =       =    .  We  can simplify    this    using   trig    identities:     =

. Now, when we take the limit we get. 2 sin x = 2.
23. B Using u-substitution, .
24. C Because the region is bound by three curves given in the form y = and x =, it is likely better to


use  the     cylindrical     shells  method  to  solve   this    problem:    =  

.


  1. D Follow the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: = = 64.

  2. C In order for f (x) to be continuous at a point c, there are three conditions that need to be
    fulfilled.


(1) f(c)    exists.

(2)  f(x)   exists.

(3)  f(x)   =   f(c).

First,  let’s   check   condition   (1):    f   (4) exists; it’s    equal   to  k.

Next,   let’s   check   condition   (2).
