 Ackowledgement

The success and the final outcome of this assignment required a lot of
guidance and assistance from many people, including my teacher, parents and
my fellow friends. The Add Math project work 2017 does not only test my
capabilities to just solve an equation but makes me realise the variation in each
and every question. Thank you Pn. Ong for giving me this amazing assignment
and for all the guidance you have given which made me complete the
assignment on time.

I am really grateful because I have managed to complete the assignment

within the given time by Pn. Ong. This assignment cannot be completed
without the cooperation and support of my group members. Last but not least,
I would like to express my gratitude to all of those who have lend their support
and help upon completing the assignment.

 Introduction
We students, taking Additional Mathematics are required to carry out a project
work while we are in Form 5. This year , the school has prepared a few tasks
for us. We are to complete the tasks, assignments to be more specific. We are
assigned into groups to complete the given tasks.
1) Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving
2) Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through
problem solving
3) Cultivate creativity towards additional mathematics.
4) Prepare ourselves for the demands of the future undertakings
5) Use technology , especially ICT appropriately and properly
We are expected to submit the project work within one week from the first
day the task is being administered to us.
Assignment NO.1
COMPANY A
Starting monthly pay: RM900.00 a=900
Monthly increament: RM50.00 d=50

COMPANY B
Starting monthly pay: RM750.00 a=750
Monthly increament : RM60.00 d=60

a) Method 1
𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎 + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑

Company A Company B
𝑇𝑛 = 900 + n − 1 50 𝑇𝑛 = 750 + 𝑛 − 1 60

900 + 𝑛 − 1 50 = 750 + 𝑛 − 1 60
900 + 50𝑛 − 50 = 750 + 𝑛 − 1 60
850 + 50𝑛 = 690 + 60𝑛
850 − 690 = 60𝑛 − 50𝑛
160 = 10𝑛
𝑛 = 16
Company A(Ali) Company B(Ahmad)
𝑇16 = 900 + 16 − 1 50 𝑇16 = 750 + 16 − 1 60
= RM1650 = RM1650

Monthly salary of Ali and Ahmad will be the same at the 16th month of working
when both their salaries reach RM1650
Method 2
Ali Ahmad
900 + 50n = 750 + 60n
900 + 50𝑛 = 750 + 60𝑛
900 − 750 = 60𝑛 − 50𝑛
150 = 10𝑛
150
𝑛=
10
𝑛 = 15
Including first year = 15+1
=16

Company A(Ali) Company B(Ahmad)

𝑇16 = 900 + 16 − 1 50 𝑇16 = 750 + 16 − 1 60
= RM1650 = RM1650

On the 16th month of working , Ali and Ahmad will obtain the same salary
which is RM1650

17 1700 1710
18 1750 1770
19 1800 1830
20 1850 1890

Based on the table above, Ali and Ahmad will obtain the same salary at the 16th
month of working when both salaries in company A and company B is RM1650
b) Justification
Salary scale ofcompany B is a better deal. The monthly increament in
company B is higher than in company A. Thus, in a short period
of time company A provides a higher salary than comapany B.
Yet, in a longer period of time company B offers higher salary
than company A and prooving that company B is the better
salary deal

 Conclusion
After doing research, answering the questions, planning a table , drawing
graphs and some problem solving, I realised that progressions is important in
our daily lives and business activities. It is not only used in the business facility
but also widely used in banking account skills. I learnt a lot through the
Additional Mathematics project work such as the golden ratio and the
fibronacci sequence which are widely used on the products in the market
today.
 Reflection
Add Math
You are a killer subject
Yet with hard work,
Youre nothing else than just
Satisfying

Add Math,
Intergration, Diffrentiation,
You Roar,
Yet I can tame,
The almighty roar you claim,
Progression.

Arithmetic, Geometric,
All in my veins,
Giuding me with knowledge,
More to attain

Add Math,
You’re a companion, you’re a friend
Above all, you’re the knowledge I crave,
To attain
