AP Calculus AB Test Prep:
List of Things to Study for AP Test (Order of Importance IMO):
1. Know derivates formulas (power/quotient rules, chain rule**, trig formulas, exponentials, natural logs).
2. Know antiderivative formulas (power rule, trig rules, u substitution**), and know how to apply FToC for definite integrals.
3. F Prime Graph FRQ (Given details about f prime, tell me about f)
4. Slope Fields/Differential Equations FRQ (Know how to solve a differential equation and use initial conditions).
5. Applications of derivates (Inc/dec intervals, finding relative and absolute extrema, concavity intervals, finding inflection points).
6. Riemann Sums FRQ (Know how to construct a LRS/RRS/Mid/Trap Sum, and know how to write if area is over/under approximating).
7. Particle in Motion FRQ (Know how to find when particle is moving left/right/at rest, and when particle is speeding up/slowing down).
8. Rate In/Rate Out FRQ (Know the relationship between RATES and AMOUNTS). (Antiderivative of a rate is the amount).
9. Major Theorems (Know how MVT and IVT works).
10. Average Value Formula. Use it any time it asks, "What is the average value" of something.
