Title: I just signed my life away to the College Board.
Post by: [REDACTED] on June 07, 2008, 07:36:34 AM
I think I got a decent score on the Math II test.
I can't say much else.
oh also find dy/dx of y=sin(sin x) plz if you think you can do better

I always messed up those derivitives. I get my rules mixed up

Chain rule? It's just...easy to me for some reason or another.  I can't remember formulae, but hey I know what to do. ;___;

So then it would be cos(sinx)*cosx

Yeah, exactly.

I just had to take a calculus survey for my college yesterday. I was really nervous because I thought it would be full of integrals and derivitives... But it was actually mostly things from Algebra II and Trig, so I aced it. The hardest question in the whole test was to find a point on the unit circle... I thought it would be much more difficult

Interesting. Did you test out of Calculus I?

d(sin^2x) =dx
so sin^2 x = x
inverse of sin x = sin x

x = uh... pi over 4 and 3pi over 4.  caterpie;

perdi. :(

You haven't studied some differentiation rules beyond the power rule. It's 'k.

They teach integration and differentials in Precalculus? This is shocking.

I believe so. It's called something like Calculus Sequence, which sounds like it will continue off of Calculus I... I'm going to ask at orientation next week though.

I'm taking a course that uses precalculus material along with Calculus.
Genius idea.

I got an A in the regular calculus course at my school. VERY, VERY EASY.
