Welcome to AP Calculus!! You have finally reached the pinnacle of high school mathematics. It will be a challenging time, but one that will pay off if you keep your nose to the grindstone. While you are enjoying your summer, I would like to ask you to take time to complete the attached assignments. They are designed to help you make the transition into this challenging course as smooth as possible. One thing is for sure – the more you do over the summer, the easier it will be when school starts and the more comfortable you will feel with the pace of the class. If you need to, you may use reference materials to assist you and refresh your memory (old notes, textbooks, online resources, etc.). While the graphing calculators will be used in class for some things, there are no calculators allowed on this packet. You should be able to do everything without a calculator. Your summer assignment consists of problems that cover the following 4 areas: I. Algebra II. Logarithms III. Trigonometry IV. Graphing It is very important that you complete the summer work and have a firm understanding of the prerequisite skills, as we will be building on these concepts throughout the course. This assignment is DUE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. All work must be neatly shown for each problem. Use graph paper for the problems that require you to graph. *There will be a test over the summer packet material on the second ‘normal’ day of school. IMPORTANT NOTE: NO RETAKES!!!! This means if you fail this test your grade in AP Calculus is in serious jeopardy! It matters A LOT! Give us your best work while giving yourself the opportunity to get off to a great start! Name: Show all work – no credit will be awarded for answers missing appropriate work. No calculators! Section II: Algebra Review Identify the following statements as true or false. Identify the following statements as true or false over the set of real numbers. Give a counter example for any false statement. 16
