Unit 6: Integration & Accumulation of Change
Calculus BC · Unit 6 · Paper 3

Integration & Accumulation of Change unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 42 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 6, Paper 3” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

NO CALCULATOR. The rate at which cars enter a parking garage is modeled by the function E, and the rate at which they leave is modeled by L. Both rates are measured in cars per hour, and selected values are given in the table. At time t = 0 there are 60 cars in the garage. t (hours) 0 2 5 8 12 E(t) 30 48 52 36 18 L(t) 10 22 40 54 30

A. Use a left Riemann sum with the four subintervals indicated by the table to approximate ∫₀¹² E(t) dt. Using correct units, interpret the meaning of this integral in the context of the problem.

B. Use the data to approximate E′(6.5). Show the computations that lead to your answer, and indicate units of measure.

C. Based on the data, is there a time t in the interval 5 < t < 8 at which the number of cars in the garage is neither increasing nor decreasing? Justify your answer.

D. Using a right Riemann sum with the four subintervals indicated by the table, approximate the number of cars in the garage at time t = 12.
