Subjects : math, ap, calculus
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Curve whose points are at a fixed normal distance of a given curve






2. A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the axis.






3. Zero of a function; a solution of the equation f(x)=0 is a zero of the function f or a root of the equation of an x-intercept of the graph






4. The maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their rest position






5. A function is locally linear at x = c if the graph fo the function looks more and more like the tangent to the graph as one zooms in on the point (c - f(c))






6. logb mn = logbm + logb n - logb m/n = logb m - logb n - logb mn = n logb m - logb b = 1 - logb 1 = 0






7. If there is some number b that is less than or equal to every number in the range of f

9. The function that is integrated in an integral






10. An approximation of the derivative of a function using a numerical algorithm numerical integration - an approximation of the integral of a function using a numerical algorithm oddfunction- f(-x)=-f(x)






11. sinA/a=sinB/b=sinC/c






12. If f(x) is continuous over [a -b] - then it has an absolute maximum and minimum value on [a -b].
