Decoding The Ap Precalculus 2024 Free Response Questions: Expert Analysis

[@ivanturan6011]

Hey Joey! Couple of questions: 1. For all of question 2, would it be ok if I used thousands? (because I'm pretty sure I got the right answers, just used thousands to get them) 2. For Question 4.)B.)i.) would it be ok if I left the logarithm in unsimplified form, because the question didn't specifically ask to completely simplify? It only asked to give an expression with a single logarithm. 3. For Question 4.)C.) Why would it be pi/8+pi/2k instead of pi/8+pik? Thanks!

1. As long as you got the correct answers, I don’t believe it matters for the set-up. 2. At the beginning of question 4, it specified that all exponents must be completely combined, so I’m not sure how I simplified you left it. 3. Pi/8 + piK would be correct if you also included 5pi/8 + piK

imo u should do the algebraic way first an then check ur answer using a graphing calculator. Not everyone has a graphing calculator and it would also make for a better experience understanding the algebra or logic behind the question rather than just plugging stuff in ur calc.

Absolutely! However, the AP Precalculus exam requires the use of a graphing calculator, so if you don’t have one, you’re cooked.
