Implementation
1.4.1
Students must carry out each assignment individually. Plagiarism will be penalised.
1.4.2
Teachers must monitor the progress of the students coursework. It is, however, not
acceptable for teachers to give detailed suggestions as to how the work may be
improved to meet the assessment criteria. Examples of unacceptable assistance are as
follows:
detailed indication of errors or omissions
the provision of detailed outlines, analysis, discussion, or conclusion specific to the

coursework tasks
personal intervention to improve the presentation or content of the coursework
Assignment Reports
1.5.1
All assignment reports should follow the specification in Part 2.
1.5.2
The assignment reports should be concise. The table of contents, folders, decoration and
binding are not required. References, if any, should be included at the end of the report
and cited in the texts.
1.5.3
Assignments may be written either in English or Bahasa Melayu.
1.5.4
Each student is required to write the declaration statement to confirm that the
assignment report submitted is his/her own work.

All components of assessment are subjected to moderation by an external moderator

appointed by the Malaysia Examinations Council (MEC). Random samples of
assignment reports may be requested.
Assignment Record
1.8.1
The teacher is required to record the marks for each assignment report and the viva in
the Assignment Record.
1.8.2
In the event that a student has transferred to another school, the principal of the former

Assignment A: Mathematical Modelling
Parametric equations express a set of related quantities as explicit functions of an independent
variable, known as a parameter. An equation, relating variables x and y in Cartesian coordinates, can
be expressed by parametric equations which describe a position on the curve.
1
The parametric equations of a plane curve are defined by

x = et, y = t2 1, 2 t 2.
Tabulate the values t, x and y, and plot the curve.
(a) Find three sets of parametric equations for the curve whose equation is (y 1)2 = x 49.
(b) Is it possible to choose x = t2 as the parametric equation for x? Can you start with any choice
for the parametric equation for x?
(c) Can you start with any choice for the parametric equation for y?
3
Suppose that the position of a particle at time t is given by

x1 = 2 sin t, y1 = 3 cos t, 0 t 2,
and the position of another particle is given by

x2 = cos t 2, y2 = 1 + sin t, 0 t 2,
(a) Sketch the paths of the particles on the same coordinate axes.
(b) How many points of intersection are there?
(c) Determine whether there is any point where the particles collide.

Assignment B: Mathematical Investigation

The concept of a limit plays a central role in calculus. For example, continuity, derivative and integral
require this concept. In this assignment, you are required to explore the concept of a limit.
1 (a) Draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius x cm. Express the area of the
triangle A3 in term of x.
(b) Repeat 1(a) with square, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, , regular polygon with n sides
in the circle of radius x cm.
(c) Determine the value of
An

Assignment C: Mathematical Modelling
Parents often wonder how tall their kids would be. Would they be short, average, or tall? Is height
inherited?
The height, in cm, of a person can be predicted from ones parents heights using the following
formulae:
For girl:
1
(fathers height + mothers height) 6.35
2
For boy:
1
(fathers height + mothers height) + 6.35
2
1 (a) Select a random sample of 50 upper secondary students of the same gender from your school.
Describe how to ensure the randomness of your sample.
(b) Record the heights of the students and their parents in centimeters.
2 Determine suitable confidence intervals for the mean height of the students using a normal
distribution. Interpret your results.
3
(a) Calculate the predicted heights of the students based on of the formulae given above.
(b) Classify the predicted heights into three categories (short, average and tall).
4 (a) Carry out a suitable hypothesis test to determine whether the students actual heights can be
modeled by the predicted heights by category.
(b) What can you say about the formula given?

(c) Comment on whether the height of a person is inherited from ones parents.
