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
B. 1. A close box in the shape of a cuboid has a total surface area of 216 cm 2 and a base length that
is twice the width. If the width of the base is x cm, find the maximum volume of the box.
2. A rectangular block of land has one side along a river. The other three sides are to be fenced
using 160 m of fencing. If the width of the block is x meters, find the maximum area that can be
fenced.
B. RELATED RATES PROBLEMS
1. Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels north at 50 km/h and the other travels
west at 40 km/h. At what rate is the distance between the cars increasing three hours later?
2. A boat is pulled into a wharf by a rope at a speed of 20 m/min. If the rope is attached to a point
on the boat 7 m vertically below the wharf, at what rate is the rope being drawn in when the boat
is 24 m from the wharf?
C. TANGENT LINE AND NORMAL LINE
1. Find the equation of the tangent and normal line to the curve x 3 y + y3 x=10 at (1, 2).
