This document contains 4 math problems from an AP Calculus BC quiz. Problem 1 asks to show that the sum of the x and y-intercepts of any tangent line to the curve x + y = c is equal to c. Problem 2 asks to find the velocity and acceleration functions of a particle's displacement given its position function. Problem 3 asks to sketch two parabolas and determine if there is a line tangent to both, finding the equation if so. Problem 4 asks to find constants A, B, and C such that a function satisfies a given differential equation.

Problem 1

Show that the sum of the x and y-intercepts of any tangent line to the curve  x + y = c is equal to  c

Problem 2

The displacement of a particle on a vibrating string is given by the equation  s (t ) = 10 + 1 4  sin(10p t ) where  s
is measured in centimeters and  t in seconds. Find the velocity and acceleration functions after  t seconds.

Problem 3

Sketch the parabolas  y = x 2  and y = x 2  - 2 x + 2 . Do you think there is a line tangent to both curves? If so,
find its equation. If not, why not?

Problem 4

The equation  y "+ y '- 2 y = x 2  is called a differential equation because it involves an unknown function  y
and its derivatives. Find constants A, B, and C, such that the function  Ax 2  + Bx + C = y satisfies the given
equation.
