Advice
I took the BC calc test, and
I found the free response to be really difficult. I would just say don’t be lazy like our class. Do some work once in a while , because
it will make it easier for you.

Links
- Link 1 - The Box Problem. The site is very interactive
with some fun applets and such. The directions are very step-by-step and
it's pretty hard NOT to get the solution. If you pick a wrong choice, the
box will pop up and let you know you're wrong. It has both the graphical
and the calculus solutions.
- Link 2 - The Volume of a Vase Problem. You use the
cursor to pick points on the side of the vase, and then export the points
into TI Interactive. Once there, you can easily get all the equations you need.
There are directions on the site for setting up integrals with your
calculator.
- Link 3 - The Length of a Pipe Problem. Similar to the
vase problem above. You pick the points and set up the integral like
before. The directions listed on the site are the same as the vase
problem. I didn't like this problem - it doesn't really make sense or work
too well.

The Original Problem
Solution
to problem

Assume this tree is 25 feet
tall. Figure out the volume of the trunk. The diameter is probably around 2
feet across. Go. Do calculus. Or, if you want, you can go outside and hug a
tree. The tree will be so grateful it will pardon you and you will not have to
do this lame problem.
