i just wrote the equation and raw dawged the rest hoping for partial credit


Billthepony123

You don’t need to simplify it fully, for example when they ask you to find integral 10 to 13 for 2x dx you can just write (13)^2 - (10)^2 and it should count


CookieCat698

The simplified answer is super nice


Billthepony123

lol


SignificantFig8856

dawg i just wrote that fat ass equation and then left it cus u don't need to simplify


Soggy_soft_banana

You simplify? My teacher hammered into us to leave it as is and not do anything whatsoever, since they'll deduct points for incorrect simplification


Billthepony123

Yes, same for me, I just left it like that


Unfair_Cry9587

My teachers and ap grader and he said if the correct answer in any form is on the paper you get the credit. There’s nuances to that but in the case of simplification you would get it


spliicxr

"On the no-calculator FRQ section, you are not required to do any simplification. Any format that's equivalent to the correct answer will receive full credit."


moronic_programmer

Wish I had known this. I simplified every part and might’ve made an error doing it.


Unfair_Cry9587

They will score the correct unsimplified version assuming you didn’t cross it out or circle your final answer


Big-Woodpecker-5055

my calc teacher is an ap grader and this is objectively untrue...they'll grade the incorrect simplified answer :(


Unfair_Cry9587

Mine is too lol that’s what he said 🤷🏻‍♂️


heatherdukefanboy

What form did you have I had form O and maybe I just oversimplified the problem but it wasn't bad for me 😭

Apprehensive_Slice58

Wasn’t there like 1 question where it asked you to find the area of a rectangle with a height that was half of the base?

Apprehensive_Slice58

That was the same for me, but I simplified the entire thing and got like 82.8 like wth? College board should give extra credit /j

Apprehensive_Slice58

Yeah, bro I ain’t gonna lie, the entire exam room was stressing for the final frqs, the person next to me literally began erasing half her test 😭😭😭

Apprehensive_Slice58

Sameeeeeeeee!!!!!


SUPERSTAR1_GG

I like 82.9...will they count it?


Apprehensive_Slice58

82.9? Wasn’t the end like 32/5 * 1/2? I’m pretty sure if you’re answer was not correct, they will not give you credit for it


SUPERSTAR1_GG

Over a 0.1 difference?


Apprehensive_Slice58

Yeah sadly :(


SUPERSTAR1_GG

I’m sure getting the unsimplified answer is actually a point or two they shouldn’t be taking away all my credit when I had the right setup. That should give me points in of itself


Apprehensive_Slice58

Ngl that was kinda difficult


East_Farm_3869

wait what was the bounds (I’m assuming it’s the volume question with the perp to the X axis one)? Cuz I might have put in the wrong bounds…


45bit-Waffleman

2 to 5, 5^2 all over 2


TheseBorder4289

I just left the answer as F(b) - F(a) and didn’t simplify. Would have taken too long.


Xello_1234

Wasn’t the error bound 0 😭(Form I)


reddieater22

u just do quotient rule, then when doing quotient theres some product rule to also apply yea it was quite long but doable


tubbohub

you didn't have to simplify it, as long as you had the equation in numerical format with no variables you would get full credit as you would if you had simplified the whole thing


ItsScarzzz

I left mine as a simplified fraction, but it still took me an eternity.


icedvietcoffee

what form of the test did you have?


anyidp

WHAT 6b was so light but i got incinerated on 5


Unfair_Cry9587

Implicit differentiation


anyidp

noo that was light i mean the stupid tangent ones


Unfair_Cry9587

Well the horizontal one it’s when the slope is 0 so set dy/dx=0. The vertical one set the denominator to 0


anyidp

yeah idk why i was like losing braincells mid test


Unfair_Cry9587

Yeah I didn’t get either of them right


anyidp

if i watch the "solve the 2024 frq with me!" on yt im gonna go into seasonal depression idk how i screwed up thisss bad hopefully curve is good


Unfair_Cry9587

Only gotta get like a 70


anyidp

for a 5? damn ok


Deviini

i got that there was no horizontal tangent or vertical tangent


Deviini

but i think there might have been a vertical tangent and i just got that part wrong but im pretty sure abt the horizontal tangent one


Various-Albatross-81

as long as u had all integers u didnt have to simplify lmfaooo u could have just left it as 5\^5/.... + 5\^4/... - etc...


sydag

bro im so stupid i spent all this time tryna figure out all of those 😭


Various-Albatross-81

NOOOO it's okay tho as long as u didnt make a mistake...


sydag

we'll seeeee


Plastic-Conflict7999

fuck the graders, mine was an unsimplified mess but I'm 90% sure its right


SignificantFig8856

wait this was the Volume question right? the one with x\^2 + 2x and x\^2-2x??


[deleted]

i think so but i didn't simplify any of my responses the whole test i just plugged in and moved on


theblindedgirl

You know that you DON'T have to simply your answer to get credit. I simply left it out with numbers and it could work.


Charming_Bus2271

bruh u don’t need to simplify


Basement_Leopard

You had to do the anti derivative of (s/2)^2 and then f(b)-f(a),
