The document outlines a performance task for students to demonstrate their understanding of polynomial functions through three main activities: creating a visual representation of a polynomial function, solving a real-life word problem modeled by a polynomial, and analyzing a polynomial graph. Each task has specific instructions and examples to guide students, along with a rubric for assessment based on understanding, creativity, and analysis. The objective is to apply mathematical concepts to real-life scenarios and enhance graphical interpretation skills.

Quarter 2: Remedial Performance Task 1
Name: Section: Date given: 10/22/2024
Objective: Students will demonstrate their understanding of polynomial functions and their graphical behavior by solving real-life problems and creating visual representations of polynomial graphs. Instructions: 1. Polynomial Function Illustration (7 points) Create a visual representation of a polynomial function of degree 3 or higher. You can use graphs, drawings, or digital illustrations. Include: o The polynomial function equation (e.g., 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 + 2𝑥). o The key features of the graph: intercepts, turning points, end behavior, and the general shape of the graph. o Highlight the end behavior of the function, showing how the function behaves as x approaches +∞, −∞. Example: Sketch the graph of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 6𝑥 2 + 9𝑥. Label the x-intercepts, y-intercept, and turning points. Show how the graph behaves as x increases or decreases infinitely. 2. Word Problem with a Polynomial Function (5 points) Write and solve a real-life word problem that can be modeled by a polynomial function. o Explain the scenario and show how the polynomial function is used to model it. o Solve the problem and interpret the solution. Example: "A ball is thrown upwards from a height of 10 meters with a velocity that follows the equation ℎ(𝑡) = −5𝑡 2 + 20𝑡 + 10, where h(t) is the height of the ball at time t seconds. How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground? Show all work and explain the result."
3. Graph Analysis and Interpretation (8 points)
Choose a polynomial function (or use one provided by your teacher) and analyze its graph. o Identify and interpret the roots (x-intercepts) and turning points (maxima or minima). o Analyze the function’s end behavior. o Determine the intervals of increase and decrease. o Create a detailed graph and illustrate your findings Example: Analyze the polynomial function 𝑓(𝑥) = −2𝑥 4 + 8𝑥 3 − 5𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 − 4. Draw the graph, label the key features, and describe the turning points, end behavior, and where the graph increases or decreases. Rubric: Needs Criteria Excellent (5) Good (4) Satisfactory (3) Points Improvement (2-1) Accurately illustrates a Mostly correct graph Graph shown but Understanding of Incorrect graph or Polynomial Functions polynomial graph and explains all key features with minor errors, key features mostly labeled with some errors or missing labels missing key features. /7 clearly. correctly. on key features.
