AP Calculus AB Information and Summer Assignment General Information: Competency in Algebra and Trigonometry is absolutely essential. The calculator will not always be available for you to use. Knowing the unit circle is required throughout the entire course. Almost all problems are worked in radian measure, not degrees. You must be able to eplain your answers, by mathematics or written language. Just getting the correct number or epression is not sufficient for demonstrating understanding. You must have your own graphing calculator and be familiar with how to use it. During the school year, you must dedicate approimately to hours to homework and studying each week. Need Help? If you need help, try these websites. They have tutorials, videos, practice problems as well as practice tests. http://prep.math.lsa.umich.edu/cgi-bin/pmc/crinde. https://www.khanacademy.org/ Summer Assignment: Complete each problem following the directions below. Head each of your pages with your printed first and last name in the upper right hand corner. Work each problem on a full sheet of lined or grid paper. Fold the paper lengthwise and work in columns as much as possible. (But always work down; NOT across.) You may use both sides of the paper. Work must be shown for every problem. For the short answer problems that may not require work, write an eplanation stating why you think your answer is correct. There is a difference between graphing a function and sketching the graph. A graph includes significant points on a graph (i.e. local etrema and intercepts); where a sketch would give the appearance of the graph. Here are eamples: Not all answers are neat. Often they are messy; so don t second guess obscure epressions OR stress too much if it only appears to be incorrect. Do not skip problems, if you don t know how to do it, at least attempt it. Don t worry whether you get them all correct. You will have an opportunity to ask questions when school begins. This assignment will be graded for completion. Every problem must be attempted. Contact Information: If you have questions or concerns, feel free to email me at cindy.knoll@dvusd.org. The intent of this assignment is for you to be comfortable with these concepts and skills.
