Explain your reasoning.2.4 determine, with technology, the approximatelogarithm of a number to any base, includingbase 10 [e.g., by recognizing that log10(0.372)can be determined using the LOG key ona calculator; by reasoning that log329 isbetween 3 and 4 and using systematic trial todetermine that log 29 is approximately 3.07]32.5 make connections between related logarithmicand exponential equations (e.g., log5125 = 33can also be expressed as 5 = 125), and solvesimple exponential equations by rewritingxthem in logarithmic form (e.g., solving 3 = 10by rewriting the equation as log310 = x)2.6 pose problems based on real-world applicationsthat can be modelled with given exponentialequations, and solve these and othersuch problems algebraically by rewritingthem in logarithmic formSample problem: When a potato whose temperatureis 20°C is placed in an oven maintainedat 200°C, the relationship between thecore temperature of the potato T, in degreesCelsius, and the cooking time t, in minutes, istmodelled by the equation 200 – T = 180(0.96) .Use logarithms to determine the time whenthe potato’s core temperature reaches 160°C.THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | <strong>Mathematics</strong>126
B. POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONSOVERALL EXPECTATIONSBy the end of this course, students will:1. recognize and evaluate polynomial functions, describe key features of their graphs, and solveproblems using graphs of polynomial functions;2. make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of polynomialfunctions;3. solve polynomial equations by factoring, make connections between functions and formulas, andsolve problems involving polynomial expressions arising from a variety of applications.SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS<strong>Mathematics</strong> for College Technology1. Investigating Graphs of PolynomialFunctionsBy the end of this course, students will:1.1 recognize a polynomial expression (i.e., aseries of terms where each term is the productof a constant and a power of x with a nonnegativeintegral exponent, such as3 2x – 5x + 2x – 1); recognize the equation ofa polynomial function and give reasons whyit is a function, and identify linear and quadraticfunctions as examples of polynomialfunctions1.2 compare, through investigation using graphingtechnology, the graphical and algebraicrepresentations of polynomial (i.e., linear,quadratic, cubic, quartic) functions (e.g., investigatethe effect of the degree of a polynomialfunction on the shape of its graph and themaximum number of x-intercepts; investigatethe effect of varying the sign of the leadingcoefficient on the end behaviour of thefunction for very large positive or negativex-values)Sample problem: Investigate the maximumnumber of x-intercepts for linear, quadratic,cubic, and quartic functions using graphingtechnology.1.3 describe key features of the graphs of polynomialfunctions (e.g., the domain and range,the shape of the graphs, the end behaviourof the functions for very large positive ornegative x-values)Sample problem: Describe and compare thekey features of the graphs of the functions234f(x) = x, f(x) = x , f(x) = x , and f(x) = x .1.4 distinguish polynomial functions fromsinusoidal and exponential functions [e.g.,xf(x) = sin x, f(x) = 2 )], and compare andcontrast the graphs of various polynomialfunctions with the graphs of other typesof functions1.5 substitute into and evaluate polynomial functionsexpressed in function notation, includingfunctions arising from real-world applicationsSample problem: A box with no top is beingmade out of a 20-cm by 30-cm piece ofcardboard by cutting equal squares ofside length x from the corners and foldingup the sides. The volume of the box isV = x(20 – 2x)(30 – 2x). Determine the volumeif the side length of each square is 6 cm. Usethe graph of the polynomial function V(x) todetermine the size of square that should becut from the corners if the required volume3of the box is 1000 cm .1.6 pose problems based on real-world applicationsthat can be modelled with polynomialfunctions, and solve these and other suchproblems by using a given graph or a graphgenerated with technology from a table ofvalues or from its equation1.7 recognize, using graphs, the limitations ofmodelling a real-world relationship using apolynomial function, and identify and explainany restrictions on the domain and range(e.g., restrictions on the height and time for aMCT4CPOLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS127
