Review of Lagrange Error Bound and Alternating Series Error for the BC Calculus Exam

Показать описание
In this video we review everything you need to know about error for power, Taylor/Maclaurin, and alternating series on the AP Calculus BC exam. We go over a list of problems that have covered the topics of alternating series error bound and Lagrange error bound. Series error scares a lot of people but if you really dig into it it’s not that bad.

[0:41] List of years that feature these topics on the FRQs.
[1:21] What Lagrange error bound questions look like on the exam.
[2:38] What does alternating series error look like on the exam?
[5:00] A convenient absolute value expression for writing up our solutions and recognizing error.
[5:45] How to find alternating series error.
[6:25] How to justify your answers for alternating series error.
[9:00] How to find Lagrange error bound.
[10:14] Talking about how to find M, the maximum of the absolute value of the (n+1)st derivative.
[12:08] How to justify your answers for Lagrange error bound problems.

The calc BC exam is tomorrow this is the only thing saving me from death. Thank you

dang the person who took that 2012 test could have gone through graduate school already and be settled down with a job and a wife

taking the L's out of lagrange tomorrow for sure

I have the AP test tomorrow and I have absolutely no idea how to find the first omitted term. The Lagrange error makes perfect sense but that alternating series error bound is going to end me.

when do you know to use the equal to sign or to not use the equal to sign when writing your final answer?

7:25 My calc BC exam is tomorrow (self-study) and I never learned about these errors :( Can someone explain as to why its (1/2)^5 / 7? Why to the power of 5 and where did the number 7 come from?

today i had the exam and I got a question really similar to this one at 11:50. is it okay if i choose the value less than 40, say uhm 20(from 0 to 1/4)? but it wasn't the max value as you descirbed. it was just a value between 0 and 1/4
