about
AP Calculus AB follows the curriculum set forth by the College Board. It is worth the equivalent of one semester of college credit upon successful completion of the AP examination offered in May. Students enrolled in this course are required to take this test. Topics covered include library of functions, limits, the derivative, applications of the derivative, definite and indefinite integrals, applications of integration, etc.

If there are typos or mistakes, let me know so I can fix them here.
P1.
a) \( f(x) = \sqrt{(1-x)(x+3)} \rightarrow (1-x)(x+3) \geq 0 \)
Solve graphically or algebraically or on the number line with test points, to conclude that the domain is: \( [-3, 1] \)
b) \( g(x) = \sqrt{-x-2} \rightarrow -x-2 \geq 0 \). The domain is: \( (-\infty, -2] \)
c) The domain of \( h(x) = f(x) + g(x) \) is the intersection of the two domains above, which is \( [-3, -2] \).
d) Similar to the example in part a), we can form a function such as: \( f(x) = \sqrt{(1-x)(x-5)}\). Be sure to show some work. There are other examples that work, too.

Welcome to AP Calculus AB. In this area of the course page we will post important course-related information such as links to resources, announcements, reminders, commentary or feedback on assessments etc. All entries will be dated and the most recent one will be at the top of the page. As far as daily course information goes, the Assignments and Bulletin tabs are the most important.
