AP Calculus AB Online Prep Course 12

By Roy JiangJanuary 3, 2019
Hello Professor Raffi,

I was just wondering if it was any coincidence that in example V, if I took Pi*30.4^2 - Pi*29.6^2 and divided the answer, I would get the possible error in area? And is this a valid way to approach a question like example V?

Thank you,

RJ

Thank You so much!!!!
My textbook sucks, it has zero practice problems and examples.
Lucky, I found your AP Calc AB videos, and I got 5 on my Calc BC and Calc AB exams.


(Also, I took AP Chemistry exam last year, but I ended up with a 4, which I am still very salty about that).

Thank you professor, I have got the refund!

Thanks for the great response.  I let my subscription lapse which is why I haven't seen your response until now, but I'm back to enjoy your videos and others on this site again since I'm taking a data science course right now which uses a lot of concepts from linear algebra.

First of all thanks for the wonderful lecture

In the section Three miscellaneous example problems, example I, you wrote the Cp in term of J/g KELVIN unit, but you solved the problem as J/g Celsius. Does it  matter which unit I use for this? Thank you!
