Horizontal and Vertical Tangent Lines ( ), the derivative of function f. Express f "( x) as a fraction. ( ) = 0 and solve for values of x in the domain of f. ( ) is undefined (the denominator of f "( x) = 0). In both cases, to find the point of tangency, plug in the x values you found back into the function f. However, if both the numerator and denominator of f " x made about tangent lines. These types of problems go well with implicit differentiation. 47. The graph of f ", the derivative of f is shown to the right for - x < 6. At what values of x does f have a horizontal tangent line? A. x = 0 only B. x = -, x =, x = 4 C. x = only D. x = -, x =, x = 6 E. x = -, x = 0, x =, x = 6 E. Horizontal tangent lines occur when f "( x) = 0. This occurs at x = #, x = 0, x =,x = 6 ( ) are simultaneously zero, no conclusion can be 48. At which points is the tangent line to the curve 8x + y = 6xy +4 vertical? I. (-, -) II (, 8) III.

2 J. Related Rates This is a difficult topic to represent. There are many types of questions that could be interpreted as related rates problems. It can be argued that straight-line motion problems fall under the category of related rates. So do the types of questions that interpret a derivative as a rate of change. In this section, we will only focus on questions that use geometric shapes with different quantities changing values. What you are finding: In related rates problems, any quantities, given or asked to calculate, that are changing are derivatives with respect to time. If you are asked to find how a volume is changing, you are being asked for dv. Typically in related rates problems, you need to write the formula for a quantity in terms of a single variable and differentiate that equation with respect to time, remembering that you are actually performing implicit differentiation. If the right side of the formula contains several variables, typically you need to link them somehow. Constants may be plugged in before the differentiation process but variables that are changing may only be plugged in after the differentiation process. 50.

Finding when a particle What you are finding: Typically in these problems, you work your way from the position function x t the velocity function v( t) to the acceleration function a t is stopped involves setting the velocity function v( t) = 0. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Determining whether a particle is speeding up or slowing down involves finding both the velocity and acceleration at a given time. If v( t) and a( t) have the same sign, the particle is speeding up at a specific value of t. If their signs are different, then the particle is slowing down. 58.

7 L. Function Analysis What you are finding: You have a function f ( x). You want to find intervals where f ( x) is increasing and decreasing, concave up and concave down. You also want to find values of x where there is a relative minimum, a relative maximum, and points of inflection. How to find them: Find critical values values x = c where f "( c) = 0 or f "( c) is undefined. f ( x) is increasing for values of k such that f "( k) > 0 f ( x) is decreasing for values of k such that f "( k) < 0. If f ( x) switches from increasing to decreasing at c, there is a relative maximum at ( c, f ( c) ). If f ( x) switches from decreasing to increasing at c, there is a relative minimum at ( c, f ( c) ). This is commonly called the first derivative test. f ( x) is concave up for values of k such that f " ( k) > 0. f ( x) is concave down for values of k such that f " ( k) < 0. If f ( x) switches concavity at c, there is a point of inflection at ( c, f ( c) ). If you want to find the actual maximum or minimum value or find the value of the function at specific points, you need to use accumulated area and the FTC. 64.

11 M. Second Derivative Test What you are finding: Students normally find points of relative maximum and relative minimum of f ( x) by using the first derivative test, finding points where a function switches from increasing to decreasing or vice versa. But students may be forced to use the nd derivative test, as seen below. However, this type of problem is rare on the multiple choice section. ( ) = 0.

12 N. Absolute Extrema What you are finding: the highest value or lowest value of a function, typically in an interval. Another way of asking the question is to ask for the range of the function. Although these types of problems use differential calculus, students can be asked to utilize the fact that f ( x) = f ( 0) + f "( t) value of f on an interval when either given an expression for f " x x # to find an extreme 0 ( ) or a graphical representation for it. How to find it: a) find critical points (x-values where the derivative = 0 or is not defined). b) use st derivative test to determine x-values when the function is increasing/decreasing. c) evaluate function at critical points and at the endpoints.

14 O. Computation of Riemann Sums What you are finding: Riemann sums are approximations for definite integrals, which we know represent areas under curves.

An oil slick forms in a lake. The oil is 4 feet deep. The slick is 8 feet wide and is divided into 6 sections of equal wih having measurements as shown in the figure to the right. Tim uses a trapezoidal sum with six trapezoids to approximate the volume while Doug uses a midpoint sum using three equally spaced rectangles. What is the difference between their approximations of the volume of the slick in cubic feet? A. 9 B. 6 C. D. E. 0 B.

16 P. Integration Techniques What you are finding: Integration is anti-differentiation. If d dx f ( x ) dx = g( x) then g( x) " dx = f x ( ) + C. While a derivative can be taken for any expression, not all expressions can be integrated. Just as differentiation of complicated expressions involve u-substitution, substitution can be used to integrate some expressions. It is important to add on the constant of integration when performing anti-differentiation. How to find it: These are usually straightforward. Students need to know these integration formulas. + u n un du = n + + C du " " u = ln u + C " e u = e u + C " a u = lna au + C " sinu du = #cosu + C " cosu du = sinu + C " sec u du = tanu + C " csc u du = #cot u + C " sec utanu = sec u + C " csc ucot u du = #csc u + C du u " = sin # a # u a + C 87. # ( x 4 " x) dx = A. x 9 D. du " = u a + u a tan# a + C 9 + x + C B. x 9 ( x 4 " x ) + C E. du " = u u u # a a sec# a + C 9 " x x + C C. x 9 9 " x 6 + x + C ( x 4 " x ) 4x " x ( ) + C C. # ( x 8 " x 5 + x ) dx = x 9 9 " x 6 + x + C 88. e " x + dx = 8x +6 A. e x + + C B. e x + + C C. e x + 8 D. e x + + C E. e x + + C + C E. e " x + dx = 8x +6 u = ( x + ) du = e ( x +) e x + " 8 x + dx = ( ) x + " x + dx = ( ) ( ) dx e ( x +) " x + dx ( ) " e u du = eu = e x + + C Demystifying the MC AB Calculus Exam
