MCV4U 3.3 - Assessment

This document outlines the goals, expectations, and specific expectations for an assessment on optimization problems involving using the first and second derivatives to identify optimal values of functions. The assessment will include questions that require students to apply their knowledge of derivatives and optimization to solve real-world application problems and determine key features of functions based on information about their derivatives. Scoring criteria is provided for two sample problems testing students' knowledge, thinking, communication, and application of optimization concepts.

● 1. make connections, graphically and algebraically, between the key features of a
function and its first and second derivatives, and use the connections in curve

is continuous over an interval, and recognize points of inflection of the given
function
● B 1.2 recognize the second derivative as the rate of change of the rate of change,
and sketch the graphs of the first and second derivatives, given the graph of a
smooth function
● B 1.3 determine algebraically the equation of the second derivative f”(x) of a
polynomial or simple rational function f(x), and make connections, through
investigation using technology, between the key features of the graph of the
function and corresponding features of the graphs of its first and second
derivatives
● B 1.4 describe key features of a polynomial function, given information about its
first and/or second derivatives, sketch two or more possible graphs of the function
that are consistent with the given information, and explain why an infinite number
of graphs is possible
● B 1.5 sketch the graph of a polynomial function, given its equation, by using a
variety of strategies to determine its key features, and verify using technology
● B 2. Solving Problems Using Mathematical Models and Derivatives
● B 2.1 makes connections between the concept of motion and the concept of the
derivative in a variety of ways
● B 2.2 make connections between the graphical or algebraic representations of
derivatives and real-world applications
● B 2.3 solve problems, using the derivative, that involve instantaneous rates of
change, including problems arising from real-world applications, given the
equation of a function

exponential functions drawn from a variety of applications, including those arising
from real-world situations

mathematical model and the concepts and procedures associated with the
derivative to determine mathematical results, and interpret and communicate the
results
