Hello all blog viewers! This week in AP calculus I accomplished many things! On Monday I finished the optimization quiz and did very well on it. I got an 18/19 on the quiz and feel very confident for the test that we have coming up on Monday. Since I missed so much school the previous week, I had to go right into the related rates quiz on Tuesday after finishing up optimization. I definitely struggled with the quiz, but I ended up being able to figure out all of the problems after some thinking. One of the problems I struggled with most was a problem involving water dripping out of cone cup. I ended up figuring out that you have to get rid of one of the variables by using similar triangles and plugging all of the numbers back in. Out of all of the tests we have taken in AP calculus, I feel the least confident going into this one. This is because there are so many different types of questions that could be tested on related rates and optimization that it is hard to prepare for it. I look forward to seeing my score on the test so I can see how much I've learned in the second trimester. Go math!
