Performance-Based Task

in
Basic Calculus Grade 11

I. Performance Standard
The learners investigate, analyze, and solve optimization problems, related rates problems, and
tangent and normal line at a given point on a curve.

II. Objectives
The learners will be able to …
1. accurately illustrate optimization problems, related rates problems, and tangent and normal line;
2. derive equations from optimization problems, related rates problems, and tangent and normal line;
2. solve accurately real-world problems involving derivative of a function;
3. create an output that shows both neatness and accuracy; and
4. work collaboratively within a group.

III. Performance Task

A. Solve following problems. Provide a complete procedure on how you achieve your solution.
A. OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
1. A rectangular sheet of cardboard measures 16 cm by 6 cm. Equal squares are cut out of each
corner and the sides are turned up to form an open rectangular box. What is the maximum volume
of the box?
2. The sum of two numbers is 12. If one number is x, what is the value of x such that the product
of the two numbers is a maximum.
B. RELATED RATES PROBLEMS
1. A spherical balloon is being filled with air at the rate of 100 cm 3/min. At what rate is the radius of
the balloon increasing when the radius is 5 cm?
2. A ladder 5 meters long is standing vertically, flat against a vertical wall, while its lower end is on
the horizontal floor. The lower moves horizontally away from the wall at a constant speed of 1m/s
while the upper end stays in contact with the wall. Find the speed at which the upper end is
moving down the wall four seconds after the lower end has left the wall.
C. TANGENT LINE AND NORMAL LINE
10
1. Find the equation of the tangent and normal line to the curve y=( x3 −x2 + x−1 ) at (1, 0).
