General Guidelines
1. A Cover page or title page – You should always attach a title page to your assignment.
Use previous page as your cover sheet and be sure to fill the details correctly.
2. This entire brief should be attached in first before you start answering.
3. All the assignments should prepare using word processing software.
4. All the assignments should print in A4 sized paper, and make sure to only use one side
printing.
5. Allow 1” margin on each side of the paper. But on the left side you will need to leave
room for binging.
Word Processing Rules

1. Use a font type that will make easy for your examiner to read. The font size should be 12
point, and should be in the style of Time New Roman.
2. Use 1.5 line word-processing. Left justify all paragraphs.
3. Ensure that all headings are consistent in terms of size and font style.
4. Use footer function on the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject, Assignment
No, and Page Number on each page. This is useful if individual sheets become detached for any
reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to help edit
your assignment.
Important Points:
1. Check carefully the hand in date and the instructions given with the assignment. Late
submissions will not be accepted.
2. Ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment by the due date.
3. Don’t leave things such as printing to the last minute – excuses of this nature will not be
accepted for failure to hand in the work on time.
4. You must take responsibility for managing your own time effectively.
5. If you are unable to hand in your assignment on time and have valid reasons such as
illness, you may apply (in writing) for an extension.
6. Failure to achieve at least a PASS grade will result in a REFERRAL grade being given.

Page | 3
7. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic REFERRAL. You
will then be asked to complete an alternative assignment.
8. Take great care that if you use other people’s work or ideas in your assignment, you
properly reference them, using the HARVARD referencing system, in you text and any
bibliography, otherwise you may be guilty of plagiarism.
9. If you are caught plagiarising you could have your grade reduced to A REFERRAL or at
worst you could be excluded from the course.

b) The technique used to solve the problem in (a) above is as follows:

Step 1 - The numbers 120 and 30 are prime factorized.
120
120 = 2 x 60
120 = 2 x 6 x 10
120 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 5
30
30 = 2 x 15
30 = 2 x 3 x 5

The largest tile Maya can use is 8 x 8 inches.
Part 2
Q3
Total number of rows of seats = 40
There are 20 seats in the first row and the seats are increasing progressively in the next two rows.
Hence:
a1 (first term of the sequence) = 20
n (number of terms in the sequence) = 40
d (difference) = 21 – 20 = 1
Using the arithmetic series formula:

Sn = n/2 [ 2 a1 + (n-1) d]
S40 = 40/2 [ 2 x 20 + (40-1) x 1]
S40 =20 [ 40 + 39]
S40 = 1,580
There are 1,580 seats in all 40 rows.
Q4
Using the arithmetic rule:
an = a1 + (n-1) d
IF:- a1 = 2 km, d = ½ km, an = 8 km, n =?
a8 = 2 + (n-1) 0.5
8 = 2 + (n-1) 0.5
8 = 2 + 0.5n – 0.5
6.5 = 0.5n
n = 13
Hence, at week 13, 8 km will be run.
Q5
Using the Geometric rule:
an = a1r(n-1)
IF: - a1 (first term) = 100,000 rupees
Page | 20
n (number of terms to be determined) = 5 years
r (common ratio between terms) = 115/100 = 1.15
an = a1r(n-1)
a5 = 100,000 x 1.15(5-1)
a5 = 100,000 x 1.15(4)
a5 = 100,000 x 1.74900625
a5 = 174,900.625
Hence, Rs.174,900.625 will be owed to the bank over a period of 5 years.
Part 3
Question 6
Multiplicative inverse of 8 mod 11:
8x mod 11 ≡ 1
x=7
Hence, the multiplicative inverse of 8 mod 11 = 7
The Euclidean algorithm includes a set of instructions for finding the greatest common divisor of
any two positive integers. It makes use of repeated use of integer division.
The Euclidean formula is a = bq + r where a and b are two positive integers, q is the quotient
and r is the remainder. It is assumed that 0 < r < b.
Repeated division is used until the remainder is zero, as follows:
a = bq1 + r1 where 0 < r1 < b
b = r1q2 + r2 where 0< r2 < r1
r 1 = r2q3 + r3 where 0 < r3 < r2
The following process continues until remainder is zero.
Therefore, GCD(Greatest Common Divisor) (a,b) = last non-zero remainder in the division
process.
Hence, applying the Euclidean algorithm:
11=8(1)+3
8=3(2)+2
3=2(1)+1
Page | 21
2=1(2)
Re-arranging the equations above:
3 = 11-8(1)
2 = 8-3(2)
1 = 3-2(1)
GCD (8,11) = 1
If the above equations are reversed (using extended Euclidean algorithm):
1 = 3-2(1)
1 = 3-(8-3(2)) (1)
= 3-(8-(3(2))
= 3(3)-8
1 = (11-8(1)) (3)-8
= 11(3)-8(4)
= 11(3) +8(-4)
Hence, 1 = 11(3) + 8(-4) which is 1 = 8(-4) mod 11
Multiplicative inverse would be 1=8(7) mod 11
Part 4
Q7
Importance Of Prime numbers within the field of Computing
Are used in the following areas in computing.
Cryptography and Encryption
Most modern computer cryptography works by using the prime factors of large numbers.And
also Prime numbers are used in the RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) system in cryptography to
calculate public and private keys as a means of encrypting data within messages in a computer
system.
Hash codes
Prime numbers are also used in calculating hash codes in computing.

Q1
Conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has
already occurred. The concept is one of the quintessential concepts in probability theory. Note
that conditional probability does not state that there is always a causal relationship between the
two events, as well as it does not indicate that both events occur at the same time.
For example,
Two dies are thrown at once and the sum of the numbers obtained is found to be 7. What is the
probability that the number 3 has appeared at least once?
Solution: The sample space S would consist of all the numbers possible by the combination of
two dies. Hence, S consists of 6 × 6 i.e. 36 events.
Event A indicates the combination in which 3 has appeared at least once.
Event B indicates the combination of the numbers which sum up to 7.
A = {(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)(3, 4)(3, 5)(3, 6)(1, 3)(2, 3)(4, 3)(5, 3)(6, 3)}
B = {(1, 6)(2, 5)(3, 4)(4, 3)(5, 2)(6, 1)}
P(A) = 11/36
P(B) = 6/36
A∩B=2
P(A ∩ B) = 2/36
Applying the conditional probability formula we get,

n (s) = 100
P (B) = Probability that a student studies Biology
P (M) = Probability that a student studies Mathematics
P (B ∩ M) = Probability that a student studies both Biology and Mathematics Hence,
P (B) = 29/100
P (M) = 50/100
P (B ∩ M) = 13/100
Hence using Conditional probability,

P(M|B) = P (M ∩ B)

IF:-
G = Event that the student has a graphics calculator
H = Event that the student has a computer at home
D = Event that the student drives to college everyday
This information can be displayed using a Venn diagram as given below:-

G and D are equally exclusive events hence P (G ∩ D) = 0

a) The probability that the student either drives to college or has a graphics calculator.
P(G∪D)=P(G)+P(D)
= 5/15 + 2/15
= 7/15
= 0.4667
b) From the Venn diagram above, it can be deduced that:-

P(G∩H)=1/15
P (G) = 5/15 = 1/3
P (H) = 3/15 = 1/5
Hence, the events G and H are independent as P(G) x P(H) = P (G ∩ H)

a) Probability that they are all blue:
P (B1B2B3) = 6/15 * 5/14 * 4/13 = 4/91
= 0.0440
b) Probability that two are blue and one is green: P (B1B2G3) = 6/15 * 5/14 * 5/13 = 5/91
But there are three arrangements of two blues and one green as follows: -
{B1B2G3, B1G2B3, G1B2B3}
Hence, probability = 3 * 5/91 = 15/91
= 0.165
c) Probability that there is one of each color: P (B1G2R3) = 6/15 * 5/14 * 4/13 = 4/91
However, there are six arrangements of one blue, one green and one red as follows: -
{B1G2R3, B1R2G3, G1B2R3, G1R2B3, R1B2G3, R1G2B3}
Hence, probability = 6 * 4/91 = 24/91
= 0.264

Q6
A random variable is a variable whose value is unknown or a function that allocates values to
each of an experiment's outcomes. There are two types of random variables which are: -
Discrete variable
Discrete variables are numeric variables that have a countable number of values between any two
values. A discrete variable is always numeric.
Continuous variable
Continuous variables are numeric variables that have an infinite number of values between any
two values. A continuous variable can be numeric or date/time.

Probability of the surgery failing, q = 1 - p
= 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
Therefore, P (2) = nC2p2qn-2
= 3C2(0.75)2*(0.25)1
= 0.422
a) If X is the number of successes, then the possible values of X are 0,1,2,3

Colombo City typically has rain on about 16% days in November.
a) Assuming that the weather is independent from one day to the next, binomial
distribution can be used to calculate the probability that it will rain on exactly 5
days in November and in 15 days in November.
If the number of rainy days is X, then: -
Number of days in November, n = 30
Probability of success (rainy day), p = 0.16
Probability of failure (not a rainy day), q = 1 –p = 1-0.16 = 0.84
Hence,

Q 13
From past records, a supermarket finds that 26% of people who enter the supermarket will make
a purchase. 18 people enter the supermarket during a one-hour period.
a) Assuming that the customer’s decision to purchase are independent, binomial
distribution can be used to calculate the probability that exactly 10 customers, 18
customers and 3 customers will make a purchase.
If the number of customers who make a purchase is X, then: -
Total number of customers, n = 18
Probability of successful purchase (customer makes purchase), p = 0.26
Probability of failure to purchase (customer does not purchase), q = 1 –p = 1-0.26 = 0.74
Hence,
P (10) = nC10p10qn-10
= 18C10(0.26)10(0.74)8
= 0.00555
P (18) = nC18p18qn-18

= 0.157
b) The expected number of customers who make a purchase are: -
μ= n * p

= 4.68
c) The variance and standard deviation of the number of customers who make a purchase
are: -
Variance, 2= n*p*q

Q 15
The shelf life of a dairy product is normally distributed with a mean μ of 12 days and a
standard deviation of 3 days.
Let x = life of a dairy product.
a) In order to calculate the percent of products that last between 9 and 15 days, the z-
score of the two data points should be calculated to standardize the data. The
z-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean value μ.
z = − = 9 – 12 = -1 (value one standard deviation below the mean) 3
= 15–12 = 1 (value one standard deviation above the mean) 3
 Approximately 68% of the distribution will be within one standard deviation
of the mean. Here, the z-scores will be +1 and -1.
 Approximately 99.7% of the distribution will be within three standards
deviations of the mean. Here the z-scores will be +3 and -3.
The graph below shows application of the bell curve according to the empirical rule: -

Hence, the percent of the products that last between 9 and 15 days will be 68%according to the
empirical rule. This is shown graphically as follows: -

b) In order to calculate the percent of products that last between 12 and 15 days, the z-
score of the two data points should be calculated: -
12 – 12
= =0
3
= 15–12 = 1 (value one standard deviation above the mean) 3
Hence the z-score will be in the range 0 ≤ z ≤1
Hence, the percent of the products that last between 12 and 15 days will be 34% as
shown in the figure below: -
34%
c) In order to calculate the percent of products that last 6 days or less, the z-score of the
should be calculated: z = 6–12= -2 (value two standard deviations below the mean) 3

Page | 39
Hence the z-score will be z ≤ -2
Hence, the percent of the products that last 6 days or less will be 2.35% + 0.15% = 2.5%
This is shown graphically in the graph below: -
0.15% 2.35%
d) In order to calculate the percent of products that last 15 or more days, the z-score of
the should be calculated = 15–12= 1 (value one standard deviation above the mean) 3
Hence the z-score will be z ≥1
Hence, the percent of the products that last 15 or more days will be 13.5% + 2.35% +
0.15% = 16.0%
This is shown graphically in the figure below: -
13.5% 2.35%

Q 16
Using binomial distribution, let the number of who pass the drivers test is X, then: -
Total number of drivers, n = 120
Probability of passing the test, p = 0.78
Probability of failing the test, q = 1 –p = 1-0.78 =0.22
Required = P (X > 99)
Hence using the binomial formula, the following will need to be calculated: -
P(X=100) + P(X=101) +.... + P(X=120)
However, this is difficult to calculate as n is too large and p is not close to 0 or 1. Therefore, it
would be advisable to use the normal distribution.
Using the normal distribution, the mean and standard deviation can be calculated as follows: -
Mean, μ = n * p
= 120*0.78
= 93.6
Standard deviation, = √n*p*q
= √20.592

Using the distance formula, the distance between two points (x, y) and (h, k) on a circle given
as:-
D = √ (x-h)2+(y-k)2
(x,y)
r (h,k)
Where D is the radius of a circle, hence r = √ (x-h)2+(y-k)2

Hence, if the center of the circle is (2, -7) and a point on the circle is (5, 6) as shown in the figure
below, the radius of the circle can be obtained as follows: -

(2,-7)
r2= (5 –2 )2+ (6 – (-7))2

r2= 32+ 132
r = √ 9 + 169 = √ 178 = 13.34
If the original equation of the circle is expanded, it would be as follows: -
r = √ (x-h)2+(y-k)2
r2 = x2–2xh + h2+ y2–2yk + k2
If r and (h, k) are substituted into the equation, the formula of the circle can be obtained
as
follows: -
r2= x2–2xh + h2+ y2–2yk + k2
13.342= x2–2x*(2) + 22+ y2–2y*(-7) + (-7)2
178 = x2–4x + 4 + y2+ 14y + 49
178 = x2–4x + y2+ 14y + 53
178 -53 = x2–4x + y2+ 14y
Hence, formula of the circle with center (2, -7) and a point on the circle (5,6) will be: -
x2–4x + y2+ 14y = 125

Using the equation of a sphere r2= (x –a)2+ (y –b)2+ (z –c)2
x2+y2+z2+4x-6y+2z+6 = 0
x2+y2+z2+4x-6y+2z = -6
x2+4x+4+ y2-6y+ 9 + z2+2z + 1 = -6 + 4 + 9
+1 (x2+4x+4) + (y2-6y+ 9) + (z2+2z + 1) = 8
(x + 2) 2+ (y –3) 2+ (z + 1) 2=8

The x and y values in the equations 3y = 2x -5 and 2y = 2x + 7 can be graphically evaluated as
follows:
Letting x be zero in the first equation 3y = 2x –5 gives 3y = 2 *0 –5
y= -5/3
y = -1.67
Hence, one co-ordinate would be (0, -1.67)
If y = 0 in the first equation:
3y= 2x –5

2y = 0+7
y = 7/2 x y
y = 3.5 0 3.5

If y = 0,
2*0 = 2x + 7
0 = 2x + 7
x= -7/2
x= -3.5
Hence, another co-ordinate would be (-3.5,0)

A tetrahedron’s volume is 1/6 of the volume of a parallelepiped which is formed by vectors a,b,
c.
Volume of a parallelepiped (scalar triple product) = | (a * b) * c |
Hence, the volume of a tetrahedron with a, b. c as co-terminal edges is obtained as: -
Volume = 1/3 * (Area of base) * (height)
Where height = ||c|| * |cos θ|
Hence, Volume = 1/3 * (½* ||a*b||) * ||c||* |cos θ|
= 1/6 * ||a*b|| *|| c ||* |cos θ| Since | (a * b) * c | = ||a*b|| *|| c ||* |cos θ|,
Volume of the tetrahedron = 1/6 * | (a * b) * c |
= 1/6 * [(2i + 3j) * (4i-2j-) * (1i+4j)]

The slope of the tangent is the derivative of the function f.
Hence, f’(x) = 4x + 1 and f(x) is the indefinite integral f(x) = ∫ f’(x)
Hence, to find the function whose tangent has slope 4x + 1 for each value of x and whose graph
passes through the point (1,2) the integral of the function f(x) will be: -
f(x) = ∫ f ’(x)
f(x) = ∫ 4 + 1

Using the fact that the graph of f passes through the point (1,2), to find c, x = 1 and f (1) = 2 is
substituted into the equation, as the graph passes through the point (1,2)
f(x) = 2x2+ x + c

The desired function is f(x) = 2x2+ x–1

f’(x) = 3x2+ 6x –2 and f(x)is the indefinite integral f(x) = ∫ f’(x)
Hence, to find the function whose tangent has slope 3x 2+ 6x -2 for each value of x and whose
graph passes through the point (0,6) the integral of the function f(x) will be: -
f(x) = ∫ f ’(x)
f(x) = ∫ 3x2+6x –2

Using the fact that the graph of f passes through the point (0,6), to find c, x = 0 and f (0) = 6 is
substituted into the equation as follows: -
f(x) = x3+ 3x2–2x + c

It is estimated that t years from now the population of a certain lakeside community will be
changing at the rate of 0.6t2+ 0.2t + 0.5 thousand people per year. Environmentalists
have found that the level of pollution in the lakeside increases at the rate of approximately 5
units per 1000 people.
Let P(t) denote the population of the community t years from now.
Then the rate of change of the population with respect to time is the derivative
= P’ (t) = 0. 6t2+ 0.2t + 0.5
However, the population function P(t) is an anti-derivative of 0. 6t2+ 0.2t + 0.5 which
is given by: -
P(t) = ∫ P’(t) dt
=∫ (0. 6t2+ 0.2t + 0.5) dt
=0.2t3+ 0.1t2+ 0.5t + C
Where C is a constant
During the subsequent 2 years, the population will grow by: -
P (2) –P (0) = 0.2 * (2)3+ 0.1 * (2)2+ 0.5*2 + C –
C =1.6+0.4+1

(x) = x –3x2/3

x2/3(x1/3–3) = 0
Hence when f(x) = 0 (y co-ordinate will be 0),
x2/3= 0
x=0
x1/3= 3
x = ∛3= 27
Hence, the x-intercepts are (0,0) and (27,0)
Using the power rule, the first derivative of f(x) is calculated as:-
f ’(x) =(x -3x2/3)

0 = x1/3–2
x1/3
x1/3= 2
x = 23= 8
Also, when f ‘(x) is undefined, x = 0
As f(x) is continuous without any vertical asymptotes, f(x) = x –3x2/3should have A local
maximum at (0, f (0)) which is (0,0) and a local minimum at (8, f (8)) which is :-
(8, (8-3*(82/3) = (8, -4)
To check the concavity of the graph, the second derivative of f(x) which is f “(x) is calculated as
follows: -
f “(x) =(1 –2x-1/3)
=23x-4/32
=3 4/3
When f ‘ (0) does not exist, x = 0 but x ≠0 when f ’’(x) >0, so the curve is a concave up (slope

The graph of f(x) = 3x4–6x3+ 3x2can be drawn by first calculating the first derivative of the
function to locate the stationary points on the graph as follows: f(x) = 3x4–6x3+ 3x2
Factorization of f (x) = 3x2(x2-1) (x2-1)
f ‘(x) = 12x3–18x2+ 6x
According to Fermat’s theorem, if f(x) has a local extremum at x = a and f is differentiable at a,
then f ‘(a) = 0
So when f ‘(x) = 0,
0 = 12x3–18x2+ 6x
By factoring: 0 = 6x (2x2–3x + 1)
x=0

In order to find the positions of any local minima or maxima for the function f(x) = cos 2 , 0.1≤x
≤6, the first derivative of the function is calculated in order to locate stationary points, as
follows:
f(x) = cos 2
ⅆxⅆf= -2 sin 2x
Hence, the stationary points are at values of x in the range 0.1≤x ≤6 for which sin 2x = 0 which
will be at:
2x = π or 2x = 2π or 2x = 3π
The stationary points are at x = 2, x = π and x = 23
The second derivative of the function is then calculated as: ⅆ2

To determine the local maxima and or minima of the function y = 4−1/3 3, the positions of the
stationary points should be calculated by finding the first derivative of the function as follows:
f(x) =4 −1/3 3
ⅆx ⅆf= 4x3–x2= x2(4x –1)
Hence, the stationary points are when ⅆx ⅆf= 0, which are at x = 0 or when x = ¼
The second derivative of the function is then calculated as:
ⅆ2f = 12x2–2x
ⅆx2
The second derivative is evaluated at each stationary point to locate the local minima and
maxima as follows:
ⅆ2fⅆx2|x=0= 0 This is inconclusive

ⅆx2
Using the second derivative test, the second derivative at x = 12 1when f(x) =0 is 24 which is a
positive value. According to this test, if the second derivative is positive, then this is a local
minimum. Hence, x = 121 is a local minimum
Local minimum
y = x2+ 4x + 1
f ‘(y) = 2x + 4
By factoring 2(x + 2) = 0
Hence, the stationary points when y = 0 are at x = 0 and x = -2.

stationary point)
x = -2 f ‘(1) = 2 * (1) + 46 = 6 6 >0
(curving upwards)
f ‘(-3) = 2 * (-3) + 4 = -2 -2<0
(curving downwards)
x = -2 indicates a local minimum.

ⅆ2x = 2
Page | 58
ⅆx2
Using the second derivative test, the second derivative at x = -2 when f(x) =0 is 2 which is a
positive value. According to this test, if the second derivative is positive, then this is a local
minimum. Therefore, x = -2 is a local minimum.
Local minimum
y = 12x –2x2
f ‘(y) = 12x –4x

Hence, the stationary points when y = 0 are at x = 0 and x = 3.

stationary point)
x=3 f ‘(-1) = 12 –2 * (-1)2 = 10 10>0
(curving upwards)
f ‘(3) = 12 –2 * (3)2 = -6 -6<0
(curving downwards)
x = 3 indicates a local maximum.

ⅆ2x= −4
ⅆx2
Using the second derivative test, the second derivative at x = 3 when f(x) =0 is -4 which is a
negative value. According to this test, if the second derivative is negative, then this is a local
maximum. Therefore, x = 3 is a local maximum.

Local maximum
y = -3x2+ 3x + 1
f ‘(y) = -6x + 3
By factoring
3(−2x + 1) = 0
By dividing all by 4 (−2x+1 ) = 0
-2 -2
Therefore, the stationary points when y =0 are at x = 0 and x = ½

stationary point)
x=½ f ‘(-1) = -6 * (-1) + 3 = 9 9 >0
(curving upwards)
f ‘(1) = -6 * (1) + 3 = -3 -3<0
(curving downwards)
x = ½ indicates a local maximum.

ⅆ2x = −6
ⅆx2
Using the second derivative test, the second derivative at x = ½ when f(x) =0 is -6 which is a
negative value. According to this test, if the second derivative is negative, then this is a local
maximum. Therefore, x = ½ is a local maximum.
