Ap calculus area volume test: questions
Question 1 – Average value [2 pts]
Find the average value of \(f(x)=e^{2x}\) on \([0,\ln 3]\).
Question 2 – Motion [2 pts]
A bike has velocity \(v(t)=6-2t\) m/s for \(0\le t\le 5\). Find the displacement and the total distance.
Question 3 – Area between curves [3 pts]
Find the area of the region between \(y=x+2\) and \(y=x^{2}\).
Question 4 – Area with a crossing [3 pts]
Find the total area between \(y=\sin x\) and \(y=\cos x\) for \(0\le x\le\pi\).
Question 5 – Cross sections [3 pts]
The base of a solid is the region under \(y=\sqrt{x}\) on \([0,4]\). Cross sections perpendicular to the \(x\)-axis are equilateral triangles with a side in the base. Find the volume.
Question 6 – Washer method [3 pts]
The region bounded by \(y=2\), \(y=x\) and the \(y\)-axis is revolved about the \(x\)-axis. Find the volume.
Question 7 – Average rate in context [2 pts]
A traffic sensor reports cars per minute as \(r(t)=20+12\sin\frac{\pi t}{30}\) for \(0\le t\le 30\) minutes. Find the average rate and the total number of cars.
Question 8 – Volume of a solid of revolution [2 pts]
Find the volume when the region under \(y=e^{x}\) on \([0,1]\) is revolved about the \(x\)-axis.
Key facts behind this ap calculus area volume test
- Average value = (1/(b – a)) times the integral of f over [a, b].
- Displacement is the integral of v; total distance is the integral of |v|.
- Area between curves = integral of (upper – lower); split the interval at every crossing.
- Volume by cross sections = integral of A(x); disc method = pi times the integral of (radius squared); washers subtract the inner radius squared.
How to use this ap calculus area volume test
Time yourself: the test is designed for an average student in 45 minutes. Answer the questions you are sure of first, then come back to the longer ones and check your units.
