Welcome to AP Calculus!!! For you to be successful in the fall when you come back to school you will need to complete this summer homework assignment. This will be worth grades when you get back to class in August. Each of the parts will be worth its own grade and you will have an assessment over the knowledge covered in each part on the first day of school. Content you don t demonstrate mastery on will require a mandatory boot camp session. Expectations for Summer Assignment This packet is to be submitted to your Calculus teacher on the first day of the school year. All work must be shown in the packet OR on separate paper attached to the packet. Completion of this packet is worth three problem set grades. Trust me, this is significant. You should expect to spend between 8 and 0 hours working on this assignment over the course of the entire summer. Two big mistakes to avoid: () completing the assignment this weekend (o.k., that s probably not going to happen) and () completing the entire assignment the weekend before its due (much more likely to happen AND will lead to a disappointing start to our time together). The assignment is meant to be done over the course of the summer. For optimal results, work on the assignment in 0-minute blocks of time two to three times per week for the summer. Support for this Assignment Depending on your teacher, there may be opportunities for in-person support prior to the submission of this assignment. Over the course of the summer, videos for some of the most important topics will be created. The videos will be posted to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ucrzwal00jnqita0-8luqjdq. When I post the videos, they will all be titled: Summer Assignment Section Title. Feel free to watch the videos as often as you would like.

Use your calculator or the attached graphs if you are unsure about the graph of the parent function. You must have these memorized for the AP Calculus course. Please use interval notation where appropriate.

Things to Remember About Graphing Functions Domain: the set of all possible inputs (x-values) of a function Range: the set of all possible outputs (y-values) of a function Zeroes: x-values when f(x) = 0, the function crosses the x-axis Increasing: a function is increasing on the interval (a, b) when f(a) < f(b) for all a x b Decreasing: a function is decreasing on the interval (a, b) when f(a) > f(b) for all a x b Concave Up: a function is concave up if it curves upwards (like a cup) Concave Down: a function is concave down if it curves downwards (like a frown) Even: a function y = f(x) is even if f( x) = f(x), example: y = x and y = cos (x) Odd: a function y = f(x) is od if f( x) = f(x), examples: y = x and y = sin (x) Symmetric: a function that is even will be symmetric with respect to the y-axis; a function that is odd will be symmetric with respect to the origin Some Extension Questions Reference the graphs that follow, or your graphing calculator, if you need support in answering these questions..

Section II: Function Notation (Calculator Inactive) To evaluate a function for a given value, simply plug the value into the function for x. Recall: (f g)(x) = f(g(x)) read f of g of x means to plug the inside function (in this case, g(x) in for x in the outside function (in this case, f(x)). Example: Given f (x) x and g(x) x find f(g(x)). f (g(x)) f (x ) (x ) (x 8x 6) x 6x f (g(x)) x 6x Let f(x) = x + and g(x) = x. Find each of the following. Be sure to simplify as much as possible.. f (). g( ). f (t ). f g( ) 5. g f (m ) 6. f (x h) f (x) h Let f(x) = x, g(x) = x + 5, and h(x) = x. Find each. 7. h f ( ) 8. f g(x ) 9. g h(x ) Find f(x+h) f(x) h for the given function f. Be sure to simplify as much as possible. This expression should look familiar from PreCalculus and is a critical step in finding the derivative of a function. 0. f (x) 9x. f ( x) 5 x. f( x) x 0 P a g e
Section III: Intercepts (Calculator Inactive) To find the x intercepts, let y = 0 in your equation and solve. To find the y intercepts, let x = 0 in your equation and solve. Example: y x x x int. (Let y 0) 0 x x 0 (x )(x ) x or x x intercepts (,0) and (,0) y int. (Let x 0) y 0 (0) y y intercept (0, ) Find the x and y intercepts for each function or implicitly defined curve shown below.. y x 5. y x x. y x 6 x. y x x P a g e
Section IV: Inverses (Calculator Inactive) To find the inverse of a function, simply switch the x and the y and solve for the new y value. Example: f(x) = x + Rewrite f(x) as y y = x + Switch x and y Solve the equation for y x = y + x = ( y + ) x = y + y = x f (x) = x Cube both sides Simplify Solve for y Rewrite using inverse notation Find the inverse for each function.. f(x) = x +. g(x) = x. h(x) = 6e x+. j(x) = ln 5 x P a g e
Section V: Equation of a Line (Calculator Inactive) Slope intercept form: y mx b Vertical line: x = c (slope is undefined) Point-slope form: y = m(x x ) + y Horizontal line: y = c (slope is 0). Find the equation of a line passing through the point (, 8) and parallel to the line y = 5 6 x. Find the equation of a line perpendicular to the y axis passing through the point (,7).

Find an equation for the line that passes through the origin and the point (a, a). 6. The three points (5,), (,) and (, 5) are vertices of a triangle. Determine the equations which can be used to model each side of the triangle. P a g e
Section VI: Factoring Polynomials and Solving Polynomial Equations When factoring polynomials, you should always check to see if the problem you are tackling involves one of the formulas below. If it does, your life is easy! Use the appropriate formula and call it a day. Important Factoring Formulas Difference of Squares a b = (a + b)(a b) Difference of Cubes a b = (a b)(a + ab + b ) Sum of Cubes a + b = (a + b)(a ab + b ) If none of the formulas above fit your given problem, you will need to try other strategies like finding a greatest common factor (GCF), using the x-box method or factoring by grouping. The example shown below showcases one of the most common factoring challenges you will see in AP Calculus problems the x-box. Review this process, and complete the practice problems that follow. Example: Factor completely: x + 6x 08. Step : If possible, factor out any common terms: x + 6x 08 = (x + x 5) Step : Use the magic x to identify the correct factors. 9x 5x x 6x You should place the product, ax c at the top of your X, and the bx term at the bottom of your X. Your job is to come up with two factors that will multiply to equal what you see at the top of your X, and add up to what you see in the bottom of your X. Step : From here, we will finish factoring by using the box method: x +9 x x 9x 6 6x 5 Steph : Finalize your answer! x + 6x 08 = (x 6)(x + 9) P a g e
Practice Problems Factor completely 8x + 7 x x 8x + x 7x + 5 x + x 9 6 9x + 66x + 7 x 5 Solving Polynomial Equations: Once factoring has been mastered, often times you will need to take things one step further by actually solving a polynomial equation. Luckily, you begin this process in exactly the same way you would a regular factoring problem, using Steps from above. The difference here is your final answer will consist of x values, rather than just an expression. Example: Solve the following equation: 5x 0x + 0 = 0 Step : Verify that all terms are on the same side of the equal sign, and if possible, factor out any common terms: 5x 0x + 0 = 5(x 6x + 8) = 0 Step : Using the strategies outlined above, completely factor your equation: 5(x 6x + 8) = 5(x )(x ) = 0 5 P a g e
Step : Take your factored equation and set each individual factor equal to zero to finish solving: 5 = 0 x = 0 x = 0 This is silly, and clearly This leads us to an answer This leads us to an results in no solution. of x =. answer of x =.
