The SLIDE

The LITTLE DROP

The SCREAM

The SLIDE
This ride is located in the kiddie section! The
height of the rider above ground, h yards,
after t seconds can be modeled by the
function: = 0.5 +40

Qa Qb Qc
Roller Coaster Fun
The SLIDE
How long does the ride last (from starting
height to reaching ground level)?

Roller Coaster Fun
Qa
= 0.5 + 40
*Let it = 0
= 0.5 + 40 = 0
= 0.5 = 40
= =

0.5

= 80
The SLIDE
Change the numbers so that the ride starts
higher and drops faster.

Qb
*We can use any number so I chose -
4t+80
= 0.5 + 40
= 4 + 80
The SLIDE
Now how long does the ride last, based on
the changes in part b?

Qc
= 4 + 80
*Let it = 0
= 4 +80 = 0
= 4 = 80

The LITTLE DROP
On this ride, for some period of time, the
rider dips below the ground level. The
height of the rider after t seconds can be
modeled by the function:

Task 2
The Design
Roller Coaster Fun


Part 1

Part 2

Part 1
A roller coaster can be based on
mathematical functions, but they are more
likely to be made up of pieces, each of
which is a different mathematical function.
This allows much more flexibility. Use
piecewise functions to design your own
roller coaster. (You will actually be modeling
the height of the roller coaster over time.)
Include a graph of the roller coaster. Your
roller coaster MUST fit the following criteria:
The Required Criteria
Roller Coaster Fun
Part 1
Each of the pieces are connected to each
other
Roller Coaster Fun
Qa
Part 1
Uses at least 5 DIFFERENT functions/pieces

2 + 4 8 < 10

Part 2
Once you have decided on a design of
your roller coaster and have graphed it
answer the following questions using the
graph and the function.

Part 2
What is its ending height?

10 = 2 10 + 4
10 = 24
Qc
Roller Coaster Fun
Part 2
Approximate how long it takes to reach its
highest point?

= 10
Qd
Roller Coaster Fun
Part 2
Why would it be useful to be able to have
equations for a roller coaster?

To create a continues roller coaster
Qe
Roller Coaster Fun
Part 2
What kinds of things might you be able to
figure out about the roller coaster?

The height of the roller coaster, the time
needed to reach the ending point and the
time that it hits the highest point
Qf
Roller Coaster Fun
Part 2
How might it help you to design or
change the design?

By creating other functions
