Hello all Advanced Placement Calculus blog viewers. It's been a relatively short week in math class. Monday we received the day off from school, and I had to miss Wednesday for a doctors appointment. We started off on Tuesday by taking a quiz about slope fields and integrals with U substitution. The quiz went well, but it took a lot of hard meticulous work to complete it. Personally, I thought it was one of the hardest quizzes of the year. The next day, we started talking about the separation of variables within derivatives. By separating these variables, it allows you to find the original equation from which you took the derivative. For example, If you have the equation dy/dx=(xy)^2, if you separate the variables within the equation and get y^-2(dy)=(dx)x^2. You then can take the antiderivative of both sides and find the C of the equation. Then, with this information you can find the original equation of F(x).
