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. The rate of change of a function occurring at or associated with a given instant - or as a limit as a time interval approaches zero; the derivative






2. Two curves that have perpendicular tangents at the point of tangency






3. Graph is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis; f(x) = f(-x)






4. 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)






5. Any value in the domain where either the function is not differentiable or its derivative is 0.






6. The function that is integrated in an integral






7. Selection of a best element from some set of available alternatives.






8. The rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed - direction - or both change






9. A variable occurring in a function - but on which the value of the function does not depend






10. 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))






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






12. Has limits a & b - find antiderivative - F(b) - F(a) find area under the curve






13. The local and global maximums and minimums of a function






14. When an absolute maximum or minimum occurs at the endpoint of the interval for which the function is defined






15. A measure of how a function changes as its input changes.






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






17. The value of the function at a critical point






18. A straight line that is the limiting value of a curve






19. d = v[( x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)]






20. A procedure for finding the derivative of y with respect to x when the function relationship is defined implicitly






21. The behavior of the graph of a function as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity






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






23. An equation involving two or more variables that are differentiable functions of time can be used to find an equation that relates the corresponding rates






24. Intervals in which the second derivative is positive






25. An undetermined constant added to every result of integration (the added +c)






26. The integral of a rate of change is called the total change: ?(from a to b) F'(x)dx = F(b)-F(a) -find anti-derivatives






27. Intervals on which the second derivative is negative






28. The process of evaluating an indefinite integral

49. A function that is a fixed numerical value for all elements of the domain of the function






50. Series from n=0 to infinity of c_n(x-a)^n where a is it's center and c_n is a coefficient.
