Thread: Checking answers (Calculus 1)

Hi, I'm doing some past worksheets I found for Calculus 1 on my college's website to make extra sure that I'm prepared to skip it with my AP Calculus score (5). Unfortunately, there are no answers included (understandable as it would allow some questions to be recycled safely, I suppose). I was wondering what would be a good course to take to make sure I'm getting the right answers, or if the purpose of such a review would be met just by ensuring that they don't appear to cover anything that I didn't learn.

It depends on the problem. For basic problems, such as finding the derivative or integral of a function, just use a calculator like these:

Derivatives
webMathematica Explorations: Step-by-Step Derivatives
Integrals
Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator

For more complex problems, just post the problem here and someone will help you. However, don't post lists of problems (that's against the rules). If you need to start more than one thread, that should be fine. Just show your work.
