This is a multiple choice question supplied by the AP Chemistry Course Description, available at apcentral-dot-collegeboard-dot-com. I'm not sure what you are supposed to know to answer it. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap-chemistry-course-description.pdf...

Homework Statement Hi, My teacher marked me wrong when I was asked to find the derivative of -x^2 - 2x + 8 it was a review for the AP test were we just review everything and I put 2cis(pi)x - 2 she marked it wrong and put a question mark over cis(pi)... What's up with this...

I'm a senior currently taking AP Physics C: Mechanics and really like the class, and am thinking about majoring in it in college. However, I know that college math is nothing like high school math. Is college physics similar to AP Physics C?

I signed up for Physics B because my teacher said it was broad and could help me in getting an engineering degree. I actually found out that a lot of schools don't accept AP Physics B for college credit. MIT accepts credit for AP Physics C if there is a 5 on both exams. It's too late to...

I'm currently a Junior in high school with an average GPA of about 3.197 (includes first semester of Junior year). Over the years, I haven't really been taking hs TOO seriously due to the lack of focus and effort in my studies (and also because I thought high school would be as easy as middle...

Hi again. Alright, I'm having a problem in this question which has 3 parts. The question is: An arithmetic progression (ap) has first term a and common difference d. Part 1 of it says to write down expressions for 2nd and 6th terms in terms of a and d. This is no problem as it is is...

I am currently a junior in high school taking physics A. I find it very easy and natural and have an A for 1st semester and a 97 on the midterm. I want to take AP physics but i am not sure which one. In college i am most likely going into construction so I will need a lot of math and physics...

Homework Statement Anybody know any good websites or notes for review for the AP Cal AB or BC exam? I know sparknotes have some good notes as well as course notes. - Thanks

Hi All - 2nd year in my teaching career and already I'm teaching an AP C: Mechanics course! As I'm creating my midterm for my students, I'm looking at AP Free Response questions to give them practice for the real thing. As we're only 8 units in, my selections are limited to Work, Energy...

I took Pre-Ap Chem and got through it extremely easily. The only question is where to go from there. I can take AP Chem or Biochem if I want to stay in that area, which I do. I think I'm majoring in some form of Chemistry. I know the AP Chem teacher (she was my Pre-Ap teacher, too) and she says...

So i got this crazy physics teacher who doesn't actually teach physics. And this is not one of those comments from a lazy kid who doesn't want to learn and uses his teacher as an excuse. On the contrary: I LOVE physics hence i keep getting good grades since i actually teach myself from the book...

It's not offered in my small Idahoan school. Does this put me behind the game? All my older friends that went into physics/engineering say that the kids without it or calculus in high school never did as well. Is this true, or is it just a scare? :frown:
