AP Calculus Summer Project You don't want to forget calculus over the summer, do you? Don't answer that. Anyway, here is a proj ect that will get your juices going and help you remember all about derivatives. Your job is to design a roller coaster. You will develop a piecewise curve with at least 5 pieces that is differentiable and continuous at all points. Example. Suppose our roller coaster starts up the “lift ramp” defined by y = 2x + 50 when x ≤ 0. The graph of this equation looks like this: We need to develop a curve with is both continuous and differentiable at x = 0. Let ’s suppose it is a downward 2 parabola in the form f (x ) = ax + bx + c . 2 We know that in order to be continuous, than f (0) = 50 , so c = 50, and f (x ) = ax + bx + 50 . In order for f (x ) to be differentiable, then f (x ) = 2ax + b must equal the slope of 2x + 50 at x = 0. So 2ax + b = 2 and when x = 0, b = 2. 2 So f (x ) = ax + 2x + 50 . You can assign a to be any value you wish. Since it is to open downward, let a = -1. 2 So f (x ) = 1x + 2x + 50 . Here is the graph and a zoom to show continuity and differentiability. Here is another example: Suppose you have Y2 as x 2 + x + 40, x < 6 and you wish to connect it with another parabola. So x = 6 is the point where your new parabola is going to begin. 2 Let us define our new parabola Y3 in the form a x 6 + b x 6 + c . It will become apparent in a minute why ( ) ( ) I want to do that. Our goal is to find a, b, and c. Now we wan
