This week in AP Calculus, we finished sections 6.1 and 6.2 with a quiz. We also started learning about differential equations and separation of variables. This was important because it finishes up chapter 6 for us. Next week, we will have the test over chapter 6, so we will need to know everything that we went over this week. Everything in chapter 6 relates to each other because it all deals with solving equations using the derivative. I understood everything pretty well this week. Separating variables was a fairly simple concept for me to grasp. I didn't really struggle with anything, but I should review some more before the chapter 6 test next week. When solving a separation of variables problem, you will be given the equation of a derivative. You must separate the y's and dy's from the x's and dx's. Once you do this you should take the antiderivative of both sides and simplify. I thought that my participation was spectacular this week. I still need to look at chapter 6 as a whole and review all four sections to prepare for the test. Once I have done that, I think that I will be very well prepared.
