Grade 10 – Third Term Performance Task (Answered)
Part 1: Graph the Basic Sine and Cosine Functions
1. Graph the following functions on the same set of axes:
- y = sin(θ)
- y = cos(θ)
Key Features for both functions:
| Feature | y = sin(θ) | y = cos(θ) |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| Amplitude | 1 |1 |
| Period | 2π | 2π |
| Max Value | 1 |1 |
| Min Value | -1 | -1 |
| Intercepts | sin(θ): (0, 0), (π, 0), (2π, 0); cos(θ): (π/2, 0), (3π/2, 0) |
| Start Point | sin(θ): (0, 0); cos(θ): (0, 1) |
Part 2: Graph Transformed Sine and Cosine Functions
Graph the following transformed functions:
1. y = 2sin(θ)
- Amplitude: 2 (stretched vertically)
- Period: 2π
- No phase or vertical shift
- Max: 2, Min: -2
2. y = 3sin(2θ) + 3
- Amplitude: 3
- Period: π (since 2θ compresses the graph horizontally)
- Vertical shift: +3 (shifted upward)
- Max: 6, Min: 0
3. y = 4cos(θ) - 2
- Amplitude: 4
- Period: 2π
- Vertical shift: -2 (shifted downward)
- Max: 2, Min: -6
Part 3: Analyze the Transformations
1. y = 2sin(θ)
- Amplitude: 2
- Period: 2π
- Phase Shift: None
- Vertical Shift: None
2. y = 3sin(2θ) + 3
- Amplitude: 3
- Period: π
- Phase Shift: None
- Vertical Shift: +3
3. y = 4cos(θ) - 2
- Amplitude: 4
- Period: 2π
- Phase Shift: None
- Vertical Shift: -2
Part 4: Word Problem – Bouncing Ball
Given: h(t) = 5cos(3t) - 2
1. Transformations:
- Amplitude: 5 (maximum deviation from the midline)
- Period: 2π/3 (because period = 2π / 3)
- Vertical Shift: -2 (midline is at -2)
- Phase Shift: None
2. Interpretation:
- The amplitude of 5 meters means the ball oscillates 5 meters above and below its
midline.
- The vertical shift of -2 meters indicates the entire cosine wave is centered 2 meters
below the original.
3. Height Calculations:
- At t = 0: h(0) = 5cos(0) - 2 = 5(1) - 2 = 3 meters
- At t = 2: h(2) = 5cos(6) - 2 ≈ 5(0.9602) - 2 ≈ 4.801 - 2 ≈ 2.80 meters
