AP Calculus MATH 136-04

Exam #2

Wednesday, Nov. 3, IN CLASS


The second exam covers Sections 3.8 and 3.9, Chapter 4 (excluding Sections 4.4 and 4.7), and Sections 5.1 - 5.7. It is recommended that you go over the homework problems (HW#4 - 6) and quizzes (#4 - 6), as well as your class notes. Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of test questions. The solutions to your WebAssign problems on HW#4 - 6 can be seen by clicking "View Key" near the top of each assignment. You can click ``Practice Another Version'' after each problem to try the same problem but with different numbers.

I have also listed some sample problems from the Chapter 3, 4 and 5 Review Exercises below. The odd answers are in the back of the book while the evens are listed here. The Concept-Check at the end of each chapter (before the exercises) is also a source for good questions. The exam will be designed to take the full class period (45-50 minutes).

Exam Review: We will review for the exam on Monday, Nov. 1, during class. Please come prepared with specific questions.

Note: You will be given a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing capabilities so be prepared to answer questions without your personal calculator.
