ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT WORK 1/2010
The diagram below shows the gate of an art gallery. A concrete structure is built at the upper
part of the gate and the words ART GALLERY is written on it. The top of the concrete structure
is flat whereas the bottom is parabolic in shape. The concrete structure is supported by two
vertical pillars at both ends.
The distance between the two pillars is 4 metres and the height of the pillar is 5 metres. The
height of the concrete structure is 1 metre. The shortest distance from point A of the concrete
structure to pointB, that is the highest point on the parabolic shape, is 0.5 metres.
(a) The parabolic shape of the concrete structure can be represented by various functions
depending on the point of reference. Based on different points of reference, obtain at
least three different functions which can be used to represent the curve of this concrete
structure.

Answer (a) ~(ii)
As the president of the Arts Club, I will decide Structure 4 as the shape of the gate to be
constructed. It is because Structure 4 will cost the minimum and it is easier to be
constructed compared to Structure 1 which is a curve.

Question :
(b) The following questions refer to the concrete structure in the diagram below.
If the value ofkincreases with a common difference of 0.25 m;
(i) Complete Table 1 by finding the values ofkand the corresponding areas of the
concrete structure to be painted.
(ii) Observe the values of the area to be painted from Table 1. Do you see any pattern?
Discuss.
Answer : b ~(i)
k(m) Area to be painted()

Answer : b ~(ii)
There is a pattern in the area to be painted.
The area to be painted decreases as thek
increases 0.25m and form a series of numbers:
3, 2.9375, 2.875, 2.8125, 2.75, 2.6875, 2.625, 2.5625, 2.5
We can see that the difference between each term and the next term is the same.
We can deduce that this series of numbers is an Arithmetic Progression (AP), with acommon difference,
In conclusion, when kincreases 0.25m, the area to be painted decreases by
-0.0625

Question :
(c) Express the area of the concrete structure to be painted in terms ofk. Find the area
when kapproaches the value of 4 and predict the shape of the concrete structure.
Answer :
(c)
The shape of the concrete structure will be a rectangle with length 4m and breadth 0.5m,
which may look like this:

Conclusion
After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs and some
problem solving, I saw that the usage of calculus is important in daily life.It is not
just widely used in science, economics but also in engineering. In conclusion,
calculus is a daily life nessecities. Without it, marvelous buildings cant be built,
human beings will not lead a luxurious life and many more. So, we should be
thankful of the people who contribute in the idea of calculus.
