Derivatives and the chain rule
I originally thought you’d have to use the chain rule to get h’, as in: f’(g(x))*g’(x). Plugging in 1 for x, I got an answer of 10. An online solution, however, said that you only had to get f(g(1)), which was f(-1), then look up f’(-1) in the table. Both approaches seem logical to me, but they...- AL107

MHB 3.3.2 AP Calculus Exam interval from f'(x)
screen shot to avoid typos OK the key said it was D I surfed for about half hour trying to find a solution to this but $f'(0)$ doesn't equal any of these numbers $e^0=\pm 1$ from the $e^{(x^2-1)^2}$ kinda ? -

ok I thot this was just observation to get b. but maybe not I saw some rather hefty substations to get different answers -
MHB What Is the Value of the Integral $\int_0^1 xe^x \, dx$?
$\tiny{4.2.5}$ $\displaystyle\int^1_0{xe^x\ dx}$ is equal to $A.\ \ {1}\quad B. \ \ {-1}\quad C. \ \ {2-e}\quad D.\ \ {\dfrac{e^2}{2}}\quad E.\ \ {e-1}$ ok I think this is ok possible typos but curious if this could be solve not using IBP since the only variable is x -
MHB 1.6.1 AP Calculus Exam Limits with L'H
$\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 0}\dfrac{1-\cos^2(2x)}{(2x)^2}=$ by quick observation it is seen that this will go to $\dfrac{0}{0)}$ so L'H rule becomes the tool to use but first steps were illusive the calculator returned 1 for the Limit -
