3 8 AB AP Calculus Free-Response Solutions and Notes Question AB- The graphs intersect at the points with -coordinates of and. 3 (a) Area of R = sin( π ) ( 4 ) d 4.. (b) The line y = intersects the graph of 3 y 4 = at =.539 and again at ( ) b 3 =.675. Let a =.539 and b =.675. Area = ( 4 ) ( ) (c) Volume = 3 sin ( π ) ( 4 ) d ( sin π 4 ) ( 3 ) 3 (d) Volume = ( ) ( ) d 8.37 a d. Even though it is easy to antidifferentiate the integrand in this question, it is probably safer and faster to use your calculator to evaluate the integral.. No need to evaluate the integral.. 3

(c) L () t must be at least three times. L is continuous and so, by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must be a time t between t = and t =, another time t between t = 3 and t = 4, another time t 3 between t = 4 and t = 7, and another time t 4 between t = 7 and t = 8 when Lt ( ) = 45. By the Mean Value Theorem, there must be a time between t and t, another time between t and t 3, and a third time between t 3 and t 4 when L () t =. 3 3 (d) r () t dt It is OK not to calculate the sum.. Or Rolle s theorem.. There were 973 tickets sold. 3. Alternative justification: L() > L() and L() > L(4), so L has a local maimum on the interval (, 4); L(4) < L(3) and L(4) < L(7), so L has a local minimum on the interval (3, 7); L(7) > L(4) and L(7) > L(8), so L has a local maimum on the interval (4, 8). L () t must be at these three local etrema.
5 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 AB 5 Question AB-3 dv dv dh dr (a) We are given =. Since V = π r h, = πr + πrh. At the instant dt dt dt dt dr in question, we have r =, h =.5, and.5 dt =. Substituting, dh dh 5π = π + π.5.5. Solving gives =.39 dt dt π centimeters per minute. dv dv (b) Once the recovery device starts working, = 4 t. > for t < 5 dt dt dv and < for t > 5. Thus, the maimum volume occurs at t = 5 minutes after the dt device starts removing oil. 5 (c) + ( ) 6 4 t dt. The numeric answer is optional.
6 6 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 AB Question AB-4 t (a) () t () = + v t dt. From the graph, ( t) < for < t < 3 and for 5 < t < 6. () t > for 3 < t < 5. So a minimum could occur at t = 3 or at t = 6. ( 3) = 8= and ( ) position of at t = 3. (b) The position () t is a continuous function. 6 = 8+ 3 = 9. The particle is at its leftmost t (t) 7 9 Reason Given From Part(a) + 3 = 7 7 = 9 By the Intermediate Value Theorem, ( t ) = 8 for some t, < t < 3, again for some t, 3 < t < 5, and again for some t, 5 < t < 6. So there are three times when () t = 8. (c) On the interval < t < 3, v(t) < and v(t) is increasing. Therefore, the speed is decreasing. (d) Since a() t v () t =, the acceleration is negative when the velocity is decreasing. < < and 4< t < 6. From the graph, this occurs for t
7 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 AB 7 Question AB-5 (a) dy d dy d (b) Separating variables, =, so = y y. Thus, ln y = + C. From the initial condition, ln = + C C = y = e. Since the initial condition has y <, y e f = e. (c) ( ) lim f = e = e.. Or: ( ) f = ee. = and ( )
8 8 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 AB Question AB-6 ln ( e ) (a) f ( e ) = e = e and ( f e ) line is y = ( e ). e e 4 ( e ) (b) f ( ) = at = e. f ( ) > for < e and f ( ) local maimum at = e. (c) f ( ) ln = =. An equation for the tangent 4 4 e e < for > e. Therefore, f has a ( ln)( ) ( + ln) ln 3 = = =. Since the second derivative changes sign at = e, the graph of f has a point of inflection there. (d) The numerator of f approaches and the denominator approaches, so lim f does not eist. + ( ). Or: lim f ( ) + =.

Since h ( ).9, this approimation is less than h (.9) = h(.9) P3 (.9) = (.) + (.) + (.). 6 8 (b) P ( ) 8 8 ( ) ( ) ( ) > for all in the interval (c) Since the fourth derivative is increasing, its maimum on the interval.9 occurs at =. It is 584. Therefore, the Lagrange error bound is ( ) < 3. 4!. The graph of h is concave up
10 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 BC Question BC-4 See AB Question 4. Question BC-5 (a) Since = 3 is a critical point and f ( ) < for < 3 and f ( ) a local minimum at = 3. > for > 3, f has (b) f is decreasing for < 3 since f ( ) < there. f ( ) ( 3) e e e ( ) = + =. It is positive when >. So f is decreasing and concave up for < < 3. 3 (c) ( ) = + ( ) f e d. Using integration by parts with u = 3 and dv = e d, we have du = d and v= e. So, ( ) f (3) = f() + ( 3) e d= 7 + ( 3) e e d= 7 ( ) ( ) e e e e = + e e.. Or 3.

At time t =, the speed of the car is (b) g( t ) ( ) r ( ). km/hour. So, the rate of change of the number of liters of gasoline with respect to time is liters km.5 = 6 liters/hour. km hour (c) Solving r() t = 8 gives t = T =.3345 hours. At this time, the car has T traveled S = r() t dt km. The amount of fuel consumed is g( S).537 liters.. Or, if you use symbolic differentiation, g ( ) =.5 e + e g () =.5.. Store this value as T in your calculator. 3. Store this value, too, as S and use your calculator to evaluate g(s).

(b) Using the approimation from Part (a), volumetric flow F is approimated by F = a v() t. The average value of F over [, ] is () Avt dt 87.7 ft 3 /min. 4 (c) Area = f ( ) d.3 ft. Let B =.3. 6 (d) Average volumetric flow over [4, 6] is B vtdt () ft 3 /min. Since this is greater than, the water must be diverted.. Store in your calculator. 8.93

(a) f ( ) = and g ( ) 3cos( ) 4 9sin ( ) (b) The slope is g ( π) = 3cos( π) 4+ 9sin ( π) = 6. g( ) f ( ) line is y = 6( π ). = at (c) g ( ) π g has a maimum at =. Since g ( ) π π = =. Tangent π π > for < and g ( ) < for < π, π 3 g = f = 4 + t dt. =. (). You could also use the candidate test, evaluate g ( ) = and g ( π ) =, and note that g π >, so it s the maimum.
17 FREE-RESPONSE SOLUTIONS ~ 8 AB (FORM B) 7 Question AB-5 (Form B) (a) The graph of y g( ) = has points of inflection at = and = 4, since its derivative has local etrema at those points. (b) From the graph of g, we see that g decreases from = 3 to = and again from = to = 6 since g ( ) <. From = to = and from = 6 to = 7, g is increasing since g ( ). > Therefore, g has a local maimum at = where g changes sign from positive to negative. g also has maima at the endpoints Evaluating, we get g( 3) = 5+ g ( t) dt = 5 + 4= and 7 3 g( 7 ) = 5 + g ( t) dt = =. Therefore, the absolute maimum value of g is 5. (c) (d) g = =. 5 ( ) g( ) ( 7) g ( 3) =. Since g ( ) g is not differentiable at = (nor at =, nor at = 4, but just one point is sufficient), the Mean Value Theorem does not apply to g on [ 3, 7]. ( ). Even though g ( c) = for any c, such that < c <.

(b) The slope at (,) is 4 = The tangent line is y ( ) (c) 3 For a vertical tangent, we need y + = or y =, while. Substituting into + + 4= 5 + 8= + 4 =. the equation for the curve, ( )( ) So the points are ( 4, ) and (, ). dy (d) We would need (, ) d = where y =. So ( + ) = and =. Substituting into the equation of the curve, we get = 5, which is never true. So there is no point where the curve intersects the -ais and has a horizontal tangent.

The series from Part (c) converges at = because it is 4 an alternating series with descreasing terms, and the magnitude of the terms 5 approaches. we can use it to approimate ln 4 : 5 ln = By the alternating series error bound, ln <.
