3 The College Board: Connecting Students to College Success The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 9, the association is composed of more than 4,5 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves over three million students and their parents, 3, high schools, and 3,5 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its bestknown programs are the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT, and the Advanced Placement Program (AP ). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns. For further information, visit Equity Policy Statement The College Board and the Advanced Placement Program encourage teachers, AP Coordinators, and school administrators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs. The College Board is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses. The Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. For more information about equity and access in principle and practice, contact the national office in New York.

4 Notes About AP Calculus Free-Response Questions The solution to each free-response question is based on the scoring guidelines from the AP Reading. Where appropriate, modifications have been made by the editor to clarify the solution. Other mathematically correct solutions are possible. Scientific calculators were permitted, but not required, on the AP Calculus Exams in 983 and 984. Scientific (nongraphing) calculators were required on the AP Calculus Exams in 993 and 994. Graphing calculators have been required on the AP Calculus Exams since 995. From 995 to 999, the calculator could be used on all six free-response questions. Since the exams, the free-response section has consisted of two parts -- Part A (questions - 3) requires a graphing calculator and Part B (questions 4-6) does not allow the use of a calculator. Always refer to the most recent edition of the Course Description for AP Calculus AB and BC for the most current topic outline, as earlier exams may not reflect current exam topics.

Therefore the absolute maximum point is at, e. The absolute minimum value must be at an endpoint. f() =, f() = e Therefore the absolute minimum point is at (,) The absolute maximum can also be justified by using the second derivative test to show that there is a relative maximum at x =, then observing that the absolute maximum also occurs at this x value since it is the only critical point in the domain.

Four different lines passing through the origin satisfy this implicit equation. Because y = f( x) is continuous, only one line can be used for x < and x, respectively.

40 98 AB7 Solution (a) (c) Must have f() = lim f( x) and f() = x lim f( x) = p+ q and lim f( x) = + x x Therefore p+ q= q= p lim f ( x) = p x lim f ( x) = q + x So for f () to exist, p = q f () exists implies that f is continuous at x =. Therefore q= p. Hence p = p. p =, q =. 3 3 No, f is not a continuous function because it is not continuous at x =. This is because f is not defined at x =, or because lim f ( x) = and lim f ( x) =. + x x or Yes, f is a continuous function because f is continuous at each point of its domain.
