Quiz expectations for 9/23 and 9/24



AP Calc (BC) Quiz Guidelines

No calculator part (Tue 9/23/14  )

1.  2 or 3 plotting of polar points  (PG 678  #1-4)  ______________

2.  L’Hopitals Rule
     A)  2 or 3 indeterminate form 0/0 or infinity/infinity (could involve trig) (PG 530   #11,16,18,19,23,26)  _____________

     B)  1 indeterminate form infinity minus infinity (PG 530  #41-44) _____
    
3.  1 convert parametric eq. to rectangular equation  (PG 659 #3-10 last part of directions)  __________

4.  1 convert parametric equation using trig identity into ellipse or hyperbola and provide sketch (PG 659 #15,16,19,21,23) ____________

5.  1 graph parametric equation by hand   (PG 659 #3-10 first part of directions) ______________

6.  1 graph polar equation by hand (making a r, theta) chart might only graph it from 0 to pie to save time (PG 679 #59, 63, 72) _____________

7.  2 multiple choice style problems identify the polar graph based on the equation (No Problem like this in the homework, we did a warm-up with three choices and a limacon with 5 on the board)  ___________

8. One given initial point and terminal point find the component form, graph, and magnitude of a vector  (PG 708  #5-11, but add magnitude) ____________

1.  2 or 3 vector operation problems in component form or unit vector form  (PG 709  #19-22) _____________

2.  3 or 4 convert polar point to rectangular and rectangular to polar.  (PG 678 #7-18) ______________

3.  1 convert polar equation into rectangular  (PG 678 #29-36) ________________

4.  1 convert rectangular equation into polar  (PG 678 #21-28) ________________

5.  1 unit vector form operation problem  (Like last problem in notes before dot products) _______________

6.  1 graph parametric and 1 graph polar using calculator  (Given parametric or polar eq. sketch shape onto graph paper) ________________

7.  1 find the angle between two vectors (Pg 727  #11, 13)   ______________

Hwk Vectors and vector operations

Pg 708-709

#1, 6, 10, 11, 13 (find new vector and sketch), 18, 19, 21, 22, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37 (a-d), 43, 47


Pg 727

 #1 and 6 ( a, b, e)  # 11, 13,




Maybe 45  minutes

 Due Date:  9-22-14

REMEMBER, we will go over this hwk monday and you will have time to work on your derivative packet,
then we will take a big quiz on tue./weds. on L'hopitals, Parametric Eq., Polar Eq., and Vectors and your derivative packet is due next thur. 9-25-14
