FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Falls Church High School Mathematics Department 75 Jaguar Trail Falls Church, Virginia 4 (7) 7-4 Dear 7-8 AP Calculus Student, Congratulations on your decision to eplore the world of Calculus this year. Attached to this letter you will find a packet of materials for you to work on over the summer. This packet is designed to ensure that you can recall and apply many of the wonderful algebra, geometry, and trigonometry skills that you have learned in the past few years. While calculus is an entirely new subject to you, it is strongly based on algebra. Your success in calculus depends strongly on your ability to recall and apply the skills that you have learned in prior math courses. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about anything in it during the first week of class. I do not epect you to spend more than hours to complete this assignment. Your readiness for this course will be determined by how much information you retained from your previous math courses and your ability of applying them in real-life situation to solve problems. Therefore, the completion of this assignment will prepare you for the first weeks of Calculus. I will use this assignment to plan review and remediation as necessary. If you need more review over the summer, there are many resources to be found at the library and on the Internet. The public libraries carry algebra and precalculus tetbooks, as well as online and review books for those courses. Many sites on the Internet have math help available. You may email me at marla.schnall@fcps.edu, but I may not answer immediately as we all have different plans for the summer. You will need to get your own graphing calculator for net year. Because Calculus is an elective course, the school does not issue Ti-8 calculators. You should get a Ti-8, Ti-8plus, or Ti-84. The Ti-89 is also allowed and recommended. Calculus is challenging and sometimes fun and definitely different from anything you have studied before. As an AP student, I epect you to work hard and to take the initiative to find out about things that you don t understand. I hope you enjoy your summer and look forward to seeing you in September 7! Mrs. Schnall

FUNCTIONS A function is a rule that assigns to each member in its domain a unique member in the range. Domain: The possible -values of a function Range: The possible y-values of a function FUNCTION NOTATION: f() To be written as f() means the represented epression satisfies the definition of a function, i.e. for each -value, there is an unique corresponding y-value EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONS: f(a) means replace each in f() with a to find the function s y-value EXAMPLE: f() = - 5 f() = () - 5 f() = 6-5 f() = ADDITION, SUBTRACTION AND MULTIPLICATION OF FUNCTIONS: Functions can be added, subtracted and multiplied just as any other epressions: EXAMPLE: f( ) = + ( ) ( ) 4 f + g= + + ( ) ( ) f g= + + f g ( ) ( ) = + 5 g ( ) = + COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS: Composition of functions means instead of replacing in a function with a number, an entire function is inserted instead. EXAMPLE: f( ) = g ( ) = + The composition of f() and g() is written: f( g ( )) To evaluate, simply plug in g() wherever an appears in f(). Function Problems: f( ) = f( g ( )) = ( + ) = g ( ) = + g f ( ( )) = ( ) + = 6+ 9+ = 6+. Find the -intercepts and the y-intercepts of f() = +. Find the domain and range of the function. h ( ) = + 4

Limits The limit of a function is the y-value that you are getting close to as gets close to some number in the domain. In the limit process you never get to the limit, ecept for the limit of a constant function. We write lim f ( ) a, which is read the limit of f() as approaches a domain value of a. The limit must be the same as approaches a from both the left and the right. To find the limit, substitute in values very close to a on both left and right and see if the y-value is approaching a single value. The limit does eist at a hole in a graph, but does not eist at a vertical asymptote or a jump in the graph. Problems: The graphs Limit of eist some at functions are pictured below.
