You should practice several calculator skills prior to the AP Exam.
The required skills are limited:
- produce a graph of a function within an arbitrary viewing window
- find the zeros of a function (that is, solve an equation numerically)
- calculate the derivative of a function at a given value
- calculate the value of a definite integral
Follow the lnks below to see how such types of problems are solved with different calculator models.
There are other acceptable calculator methods to solve these problems.
If your calculator model does not match one of the models presented,
consult your user’s manual to solve the examples.
