The document outlines a performance task for students at Dominican College of Tarlac, focusing on designing a roller coaster modeled by the polynomial function h(x) = -x(x + 2)(x - 1)(x - 2). Students are required to graph the function and provide a detailed sketch of their roller coaster design. The evaluation criteria include accuracy of computation, uniqueness of design, and mathematical model justification.

PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 1
“Have Fun With Rides”
As an engineer, you are commissioned by the owner of an amusement park to
design a roller coaster. The owner requested that a section of the ride must be modeled by the the polynomial function h ( x )=−x ( x +2)(x−1)(x−2) , where x represents the horizontal distance from the platform and h is the height above or below the boarding platform, both in meters. The owner requested you to present an accurate graph that represents the function and a clear and detailed sketch of the actual design of the roller coaster based on the graph
1) Graph of the function, following the steps in graphing polynomial functions.
2) Give a sketch of the design of the roller coaster.
