You can leave it unsimplified. I was doubtful of this, like your teacher, until I went to a college board professional development event. secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap18-calculus-bc-q4.pdf Look at page 4 out of 11 of the pdf I linked above. That sample response is from a student that got 9/9 on question 4 (2018) and notice their work is unsimplified. Pass this information along to your teacher because that detail about the free response saves you a lot of stress! *Note: Some teachers will expect their students to simplify on in class exams. It pains me when students leave their FRQ work in the form of 1 + 1 instead of writing 2! But at the end of the day, you are preparing for the AP exam, and this is their rule set!
these vids are super helpful thank u
thanks man these are really helping me
Can you truly leave the trapezoidal approximation unsimplified? My teacher has said that I would have to simplify it.
