Summary AP Calculus BC ONLY Unit 9: Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, & Vector Valued Functions
Everything BC-only in one place: parametric derivatives & arc length, vector-valued function derivatives/integrals and full motion problems, polar coordinate conversions, polar slope/tangent lines, and area bounded by polar curves. If you're in BC, this is the unit with the steepest learning curve — these notes make the polar and vector pieces feel like an extension of what you already know, not a brand new topic.
