Which is easier Applied Calculus with Analytic Geometry, or Applied Calculus?

We Answered:

It sorta depends on what you're good at, but in general regular applied calculus would be easier. Hope this helped!

Calculus/Analytic Geometry question?

We Answered:

//
y=x/2
y'=-2x^(-2)
the curve has y'=-x^2/2
y=-x^3/6+c
sub and get c=1
f(x)=(-x^3/6)+1

Ann Said:

Where can i download all solutions for to the Calculus With Analytic Geometry, Seventh Edition textbook?

We Answered:

It would help if you also included the author of the textbook. There are several calculus books in publication.

Amy Said:

If I take Calculus with Analytic Geometry as my first math class in years, will i fail?

We Answered:

Your school should offer a mathematics placement test to determine
if you should be in Calculus, Pre Calculus or Algebra. A calculus class inevitably reviews many concepts of Algebra, geometry, graphing and trigonometry as nearly all students forget important concepts. However, if you forget many of the important concepts and
need them retaught, it is unwise for you to plunge into Calculus, reviews are 8 to 20 times quicker than initial coverage in an Algebra or Pre Calculus class and that would result in an inevitable F.
That is a particularly bad idea if you want an engineering degree because you also have to master physics, chemistry, and possibly statistics, and the applied engineering classes. You may want to
look at a sample practice test on a site such as

http://www.oaklandcc.edu/MathTest/

You will want to determine if you understand topics such as
(1) Evaluating Functions
(2) Finding the domain and range of a function y=f(x)
for example
What is the domain of y = 5/(x² - 5x + 6)
Here's the answer.

Domain is all real values of x except x= 2 and x=3 which is
written, in interval notation as (-?,2)U(2,3)U(3,?) .

That is because the denominator is not allowed to equal zero
and x² - 5x + 6 factors to (x-2)(x-3) .

If that was easy for you to read and understand, you may be ready
to go to Calculus. If the explanation above raced over your head,
you better keep your rear end out of Calculus and take Algebra or
Pre calculus
(3) Another incredibly important topic for Calculus is the algebra
and graphing concepts of lines, slopes of lines, and equations of lines.

Do you remember the
a. Slope formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) for the slope
of a line through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
b. Slope intercept form for the equation of a line y = mx + b

c. distance formula d = square root of [(x2-x1)² + (y2 -y1)² ]

d. midpoint formula The midpoint of a line joining
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is { (x1+x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 }

The slope concept is incredibly important because it similar to a
generalized concept you will learn in Calculus that we call a "derivative" . If you don't know lines and slopes, and
you don't learn them during Calculus class's quick review of the topic
your goose will get cooked.


You could, self study algebra and calculus by borrowing texts,
reading the text and practicing odd problems and checking your answers. I've self studied plenty of times, however most students
find that a difficult approach. If you need to be in beginning Algebra
and you start there, you can study your butt off and get grades ranging
from 92 to 100+ (if extra credit is offered) . If you can start where you
belong and get consistent A's you will be more confident and more competent when you arrive at Calculus. If you rush through the class
and have an F's competence and receive a D or C through a professor's mercy, you will not be prepared to excel or even pass an engineering program. Please get your school to give you a placement test if it is available. If you can answer most of the questions or all of them on a test like the included placement, you are
ready to take Calculus. Calc is never a piece of cake .

Best of Luck

am i qualified for MTH 173 Calculus/Analytic Geometry I?

We Answered:

If you've had college algebra and if you remember some geometry and trigonometry from high school, you'll be fine. Most calculus text books have a chapter zero which is a review of the knowledge you need. You might grab any calc book you can find and look at that part. Everybody agrees on what calculus should include, so all the books cover the same stuff.

I don't know what COMPASS is, but I doubt if you need more courses.
