Mathematics Performance Task 2 and 3

This document contains a performance task assessing a student's understanding of polynomials. It provides information about a rollercoaster ride and asks the student to: 1) classify the polynomial describing the coaster's height, 2) graph the polynomial, 3) find the height at a specific time, and 4) evaluate if a given height makes sense. It also asks the student to create math art using polynomial graphs.

Performance Task #2: Polynomial Ride!


Chris and her friends enjoy rollercoasters. Whenever a new roller coaster opens near their community,
they try to be among the first to ride.
One Saturday, they decide to ride a new coaster built on Marikina Riverbanks. While waiting in line,
Chris notices that part of this coaster resembles the graph of a polynomial function that they have been studying in
their Math 10 class.
1. The brochure for the coaster says that, for the first 10 seconds of the ride, the height of the coaster can be
determined by h(t) = 0.3t 3−5 t 2 +21 t , where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. Classify this
polynomial by degree and by number of terms. (3 pts.)
➢ The polynomial function h(t) = 0.3t 3−5 t 2 +21 t , has the highest degree of 3, and the number of terms is
also 3 – Which makes the polynomial function a cubic trinomial.
2. Graph the polynomial function where the height (h(t)) of the roller coaster is located on the y-axis and t is on
the x-axis. Label your graph correctly. Use a graphing paper. (20 pts.)

3. Find the height of the coaster at t = 0 seconds. Explain why this answer makes sense. (3 pts.)
➢ The height of the rollercoaster at 0 seconds is 0. This is because when the time is 0, it means that
the rollercoaster is at rest – Meaning that the rollercoaster is neither ascending or descending
because it is stationary.
4. Evaluate h (60). Does this answer make sense? Is there a roller coaster ride at this height?
CLEARLY EXPLAIN your reasoning.
(Hint.: Mt. Everest is 29,028 feet tall.) (5 pts.)
➢ Using the formula h(t) = 0.3t 3−5 t 2 +21 t , if the time is 60 seconds, the height of the rollercoaster is
48,060 ft. The highest mountain in the world is 29,028 ft – Making the rollercoaster taller than the Mt.
Everest. In terms of engineering, it looks impossible to build a rollercoaster that reaches this height. Aside
from this, the height of 48000 ft is where the Troposphere is located, where most commercial airplanes travel.
This means that at this height, oxygen levels are critically low which makes it dangerous to construct a
rollercoaster that goes up to this height.
