Submission Format:

You are to submit an A4 word-processed document, or hand-written scanned

document. The choice of font face, font size and line spacing are left to your

discretion. However, as a professional report, clarity and readability are critically

important. You are encouraged to use diagrams, charts and graphics to help to

explain the topics. Any material (images, drawings, diagrams, text) that is derived from

other sources must be suitably referenced using a standard form of citation.

Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO Determine solutions of graphical examples using geometry and vector

3 methods.
LO Evaluate problems concerning differential and integral calculus.

 Assignment Brief and Guidance:

1- The following function represents the relation between C(x) (the cost of production in
JOD) and x (number of CPUs produced) in a startup CPU factory. ( 0< x <14 )

C ( x )=2 x 3−33 x 2+60 x +900

a. Estimate the marginal cost at a production level of 12 CPUs (Hint: The marginal
cost function is the instantaneous rate of change in cost function with respect to
the number of units produced).
b. Investigate the minimum and maximum costs of production.
c. Support your findings of the minimum cost found in part B, by providing
complete justification of the method by which you found this point, and the
reason it corresponds to a minimum.

2- You are working as an IT consultant for a graphical design company. A client sends you
two files containing two shapes to be used in the design of a logo. Your computer
could not recognize the format of the files sent in order to display them, so you
manually open the files on a text editor, and found the following content within each
file:

File A File B
(-2.5, -2) START (-3, -2)
(0.5, 4) <√34, 30.964°>
(2.5, 3) <√10, 71.565°>
(-0.5, -3) <-5, -3>
<-1, -3>

a. Based on this data, name the types of the two shapes, justifying your answer
by assessing the properties of each shape, and drawing a small sketch for each.
b. It can be seen that the two files use different computer drawing techniques.
Thoroughly assess these two techniques, mentioning their names, the method
by which each technique draws, and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
c. The client wants the second shape (from File B) to be printed on a large
billboard advertisement. To achieve this, a scaled version of the shape is
needed, where the length of the larger side of the shape would become
10.2042 units, and the lower left corner vertex of the shape would be placed
at coordinates (0, 0). Produce the scaled version of the shape based on those
requirements, listing the scaling base, scaling factor, and the final coordinates
of each vertex of the resulting scaled shape.

3- Shown below is the graph and equation of a function describing data rate of an
internet service provider's data line. D is the data transfer rate, measured in Kilobytes
per second, and t is time in seconds. Produce an estimation for the total amount of
data transmitted (in Kilobytes) during the first 4 seconds.

D=10 e1.15 t +t 3 +500 sin (1.2 t )+ 500
