AP Calculus AB / Mr. Hansen

Name: _________________________

Test on Chapter 4


Time limit: 26⅔ minutes (40 minutes for extended time)

 

Scoring

· Each question is worth 6 points, except for the proof at the end, which is 12 points.
· Your name is also worth 6 points. That makes a total of 102 points possible (out of 100).
· Simplification is not required. Work is not required either, in most cases.
· If you make a mistake, partial credit is possible if you show some relevant work.

 

 

Pace

Allowing 1½ minutes per problem will leave you a few minutes at the end to double-check. If a problem looks too hard, skip it and try solving it at the end. You can omit 2 problems (or the proof, which counts double) and still earn an A.

 

 

Other

You may use your calculator wherever you wish, although most problems do not require it.

4.

If , then y¢ = _________________________________________ .

 

 

5.

Consider the circle defined by x = 5 cos t, y = 5 sin t, –2p £ t £ 2p. Convert this to a relation having a nonparametric (x2 + y2) equation. A little bit of work is required here.

Final equation: ___________________________________________________

 

 

6.

For the circle in #5, the slope of the tangent at the point (–4, 3) is ________ . Use the calculus if you wish, or a faster method if you happen to know of one.

 

 

 

Work (optional):

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.

Sketch the relation defined by x = 2 cos (t + 2), y = sin2 t, –p £ t £ p.

 

 

 

8.

For the relation you sketched above, dy/dx = _____________________________ .

 

 

9.

Justify (1 sentence) why #8 proves that the relation in #7 has a horizontal tangent whenever t is a multiple of p/2. If you cannot do this, then show some horizontal tangents on the sketch for partial credit.

10, 11.

On your sketch above, mark with a star (*) a place where dy/dx is undefined.

The value of dy/dx is undefined at (*) because ___________________________ .

 

 

12, 13.

Let f be a one-to-one function. Whenever x is an integer, f satisfies f (x) = 2x – 8, f ¢(x) = 7x. (We have no information about the behavior of f elsewhere, except that f is one-to-one.) Let h(x) = f –1(x).

Based on this information, h(4) = ______________ and h
¢(4) = ______________ .

16.
(double credit)

Let a > 0 and b > 0 be unequal constants. Let  be the equation of an ellipse

centered at the origin, and let (u, v) be any point on the ellipse that does not lie on the x-axis or on the y-axis. (Note: Since it is given that a
¹ b, the relation is not a circle.)

Prove that the segment from the origin to (u, v) is not perpendicular to the tangent to the ellipse at (u, v).
