Modelling Functions Summative JANUARY 2016: Goal of The Assignment

This document provides instructions for a summative evaluation assignment on modelling functions. It consists of 4 tasks: 1) Modelling temperature data from Moose Factory, Ontario using a sine function curve of best fit. 2) Choosing a point in a landscape photo to model one function (square root, exponential, reciprocal) by plotting points and deriving an equation. 3) Using the last two digits of their student number to determine fencing length, then modelling the dimensions of the largest possible rectangular enclosure that can be made with that fencing. 4) Answers are due by a certain date, after which students will have an interview to demonstrate understanding of the questions. The assignment is

Summative Evaluation
Evaluation January 2016 Name ______________________

MODELLING FUNCTIONS SUMMATIVE


JANUARY 2016
Goal of the assignment

To deepen your understanding of functions and their applications to real life problems

Part 1 – Take Home Component


What is to be submitted?
o Complete solutions to the four take home problems.
o Please answer your questions on a separate sheet (full solutions and explanations)

Part 2 – Interview
You will be interviewed by your teacher to determine if a clear understanding of the questions is
present.

The questions asked during the interview will be chosen randomly from a list of specific questions.

The questions asked will be done after you submit your assignment (in other words, you must study
and truly understand the answers to the assignment).

____________
1 – Seasonal Variation in Temperature
Task 2
The variations in maximum daily temperatures for Moose Factory, Ontario, on the first
month from January to December are shown

Moose Factory Temperatures


Month Temperature(C)
1 -14.0
2 -12.0
3 -4.9
4 3.2
5 11.0
6 19.1
7 22.4
8 20.6
9 15.9
10 8.3
11 -1.7
12 -10.0

a) Make a scatter plot of the data.

b) Create a curve of best fit.

c) Write a sine function to model the data.

d) Explain why a sinusoidal function is an appropriate model for this data.


2 – Modelling Functions
Task 3

Below is a photograph of a beautiful landscape. Many functions appear in nature, and this photo is a
good example of that.

Choose a point to create an Origin and an x- and y-axis, and then model one function from class
(ie. square root function, exponential function, reciprocal function). You must choose your origin so
that your function has both horizontal and vertical translations. Create a scale on the graph.
 Highlight your function.
 Plot at least 5 points
 Show your work when creating the equation.
 Make sure you have a, k, c, and d values.

Create an equation for a function that models a feature of the


photograph. (estimate values for a and k) and calculate c and d.
3 – Maximum Space
Task 4

To model the following fencing problem, you will need a length to work with. Take the last two digits
of your student number and use the following instructions to decide what length of fence you can
work with:

- If the last two digits are less than 50, add them to 50 (ie. 35 + 50 = 85 m of fencing)
- If your last two digits are greater than or equal to 50, use that number. (ie. 87 = 87 m of fencing)

What length of fencing will you work with? ________________m

You want to create an enclosure with three equal sections (see Fig 1).

What are the dimensions of the largest possible rectangular


enclosure that you can create using your fencing?
Fig. 1

Show all your work here (be sure to state your variables and to
use function mathematics to support your final answer i.e. you
must use mathematical modelling not guess and check)
