Cracking The Ap Calculus ab Exam 2018

(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1
Recall  that     (cot   x)  =   −csc^2 x.   Here    we  use the Chain   Rule    to  find    the derivative:     =

(−csc^24 x)(4)  =   −4csc^2 (4x).


  1. 6cos 3x cos 4x − 8 sin 3x sin 4x


Recall  that     (sin   x)  =   cos x   and that     (cos   x)  =   −sin    x.  Here    we  use the Product Rule    to  find

the derivative:     =   2[(sin  3x)(4)  +   (cos    4x)(cos 3x)(3)].    This    can be  simplified  to      =   6cos

3 x cos 4x  −   8sin    3x  sin 4x.


  1. (secθ)(sec^2 (2θ))(2) + (tan2θ)(secθ tanθ)


Recall  that        (tan    x)  =   sec^2 x and that     (sec   x)  =   sec x   tan x.  Using   the Product Rule    and the

Chain   Rule,   we  get     =   (secθ)(sec^2    (2θ))(2)    +   (tan^2 θ)(secθ  tanθ).


  1. cos


Recall  that     (sin   x)  =   cos x   and that     (cos   x)  =   −sin    x.  Using   the Chain   Rule,   we  get     =

We   take    the     derivative  of  each    term    with    respect     to x:   =  

.

Next,    because     =   1,  we  can     eliminate   that    term    to  get     =  

.

Next,   group   the terms   containing      on  one side    of  the equals  sign    and the other   terms   on  the

other   side:       =   sin x   +   cos x.
