OK, I never used a Jupyter notebook before, but I've used Python from the
command line on my Linux Box and on SAGE for years.
Anyway, here's my problem. My AP Calculus BC students have used a TI nSpire CX
CAS Graphing Calculuator all year. In our final project, I collected the
Graphing Calculators and I'm trying to show these students how to use other
computing environments. On the AP Exam, roughly half the questions are
calculator active. However, the Graphing Calculator used need only do these 4
operations (ie no CAS):
1) Graph a function in a user defined window,
2) Solve equations numerically,
3) Calculate Derivatives at a point numerically and
4) Evaluate Definite Integrals numerically.
By numerically we mean in decimal form usually rounded to 3 decimal places (and
in scientific or engineering notation if answers are too large or too small).
So, here's my SAGE Worksheet from cocalc.com (aka SMC aka
http://cloud.sagemath.com) accomplishing these 4 tasks:
https://cocalc.com/projects/9b02cebf-ad0d-4213-a57b-32979ac7240f/files/Calculus%20Summary%20SAGE%20style.sagews
And here's my Jupyter Notebook from cocalc.com accomplishing these 4 tasks:
https://cocalc.com/projects/9b02cebf-ad0d-4213-a57b-32979ac7240f/files/summary.ipynb
The problem is that we tried doing the same thing when solving this year's AP
Exam's FRQs and I FUBARed the Jupyter Notebook version!
Here's my SAGE Worksheet from cocalc.com (with correct answers)
https://cocalc.com/projects/77404da1-af58-43f6-aac9-60bc5b24bb1a/files/2017AB2-SAGE.sagews
And here's my Jupyter notebook from cocalc.com but parts 2b and 2c are wrong???
https://cocalc.com/projects/77404da1-af58-43f6-aac9-60bc5b24bb1a/files/NEW:%202017%20AB2%20Python.ipynb
So, what did I miss? I'm sure it's something glaringly obvious! Or am I making
some sort of conceptional error or misunderstanding the new Jupyter paradigm?
BTW, here's the AP Exam FRQ section in question:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx in advance,
