AP Calculus Ab

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. Graph is symmetrical with respect to the origin; f(-x)=-f(x)






2. The mathematical formulation corresponding to a continuous time model; an equation involving derivatives






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






4. An integral without any specific limits - whose solution includes an undetermined constant c; antiderivative






5. The function that is integrated in an integral






6. The value that a function is approaching as x approaches a given value through values less than x






7. ex) dx - dy etc






8. Let f(x) be a function continuous on the closed interval [a -b]. If N is any real number between f(a) and f(b) - then there is at least one real number c between a and b such that f(c)=N






9. Input of function






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






11. If f is continuous at x = a and lim f'(x) (from the left) = lim f'(x) (from the right) - then f is differentiable at x = a






12. 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

17. Intervals in which the second derivative is positive






18. A limit in which f(x) increases or decreases without bound - as x approaches c

21. If y=f(x) is continuous at every point of the close interval [a -b] and differentiable at every point of its interior (a -b) - then there is at least one point c in (a -b) at which f'(c)= [f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)






22. 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))

24. If f is continuous on [a -b] then at some point - c in [a -b] - f(c)= (1/(a-b))*?f(x)dx (with bounds a -b)
