The maximum value of y occurs when x = 4.
Plugging x = 4 into the equation for y gives:
y = -4sin60° + 80(4)sin60°
y = -4√3 + 320√3
y = 316√3
So the maximum area is 316√3 square units.

Additional Mathematics Project (form 5) 2016Teh Ming Yang
This document is a math project submitted by Teh Ming Yang for class 5C. It examines volume and surface area calculations for different shapes like cylinders and cones. Through experiments using cylinders made of paper, it demonstrates that cylinders with larger radii hold more popcorn even if they are shorter in height. This is because radius has a greater impact on volume than height due to how it is calculated in the volume formula. The project also explores maximizing volume for a given surface area, comparing cones and cubes. The objectives are to apply math concepts to solve problems and appreciate the importance and beauty of mathematics.
This document is a student project on price indexes. It includes an acknowledgements section thanking various people for their support. The objectives are to apply problem solving strategies and improve mathematical communication. Part 1 defines key terms like index number, weightage, and composite index. Part 2 shows a family's monthly expenditures for 2013 and calculates price indexes. Part 3 surveys television prices and chooses a Sony TV to purchase. Part 4 adjusts the family's budget to afford the TV and includes the student's own budget after getting a job. The conclusion reflects on learning about indexes in daily life.
The document discusses the application of mathematics in popcorn packaging. It begins with an introduction to popcorn and its history. It then presents the objectives and sections of the project. Section A involves an experiment comparing the volume of cylinders made from paper. Calculations show that a cylinder with a larger radius holds more popcorn. Section B discusses finding the container shape from given materials that can hold the most popcorn volume. A cuboid is determined to have the greatest volume. In conclusion, different container shapes are compared and a cuboid is found to hold the most popcorn.
This document summarizes a student's Additional Mathematics project on household expenditure. The project includes:

Mathematics has developed over thousands of years through contributions from many early civilizations. Key ideas emerged from cultures like the Babylonians with their number systems, Egyptians with practical applications of math, Indians who developed the base-10 system, and Greeks who made advances in geometry, astronomy, and formalizing math. Islamic mathematicians also made important contributions, especially in algebra. The study of math history can help students by putting a human face on the subject and showing how concepts developed to further understanding. It also provides motivation and opportunities to investigate. Philosophy of math examines questions around what math is, what is means for objects to exist in math, and how knowledge is acquired in the field.

Mathematics education is the practice of teaching and learning mathematics. It has developed into an extensive field of study with its own concepts, theories, and methods. The history of mathematics education dates back to ancient civilizations, where elementary mathematics was taught to some children. Over time, mathematics became a central part of the core curriculum in developed countries by the 20th century. During this time, mathematics education emerged as an independent field of research, with events like the establishment of mathematics education chairs and the founding of organizations focused on mathematical instruction. Objectives of mathematics education have included teaching basic numeracy skills, practical mathematics, and advanced mathematics depending on the time period and location. Common methods of teaching mathematics include classical education based on Eucl
Geometry Workshop for the first cycle of primary education which links the contents of Geometry, Math area, with the Arts and Creativity.
This is the first in a series, in which the objective is to relate in a dynamic and motivating way for children, art and creativity with all kinds of different content areas.
All workshops, as well as different topics about Education, will be introduced in my blog-curriculum "The Art of being a Teacher": http://artedesermaestro.blogspot.com.es/
This document discusses pedagogy for transferring mathematics learning from school to the workplace. It begins by defining numeracy and noting how definitions emphasize understanding mathematics in real-world contexts and as a tool for communication. The document then reviews different views of the nature of mathematics and how these influence teaching practices. It argues that developing numerate learners requires shifting curricula from views of mathematics as facts and skills to seeing it as problem-solving arising from human inquiry. A second theme is functional mathematics, which aims to bridge the gap between school and out-of-school mathematics by focusing on areas inherent to employment. The document aims to examine how curriculum and teaching can better serve the needs of students and other stakeholders in transferring meaningful mathematics learning

The document discusses the development of teaching and learning mathematics globally and locally through history. It covers theories and principles of mathematics education like constructivism and cooperative learning. It also profiles various mathematicians and educators who contributed to advancing mathematics education, such as Euclid, Pólya, Freudenthal, and 10 famous Filipino mathematicians including Raymundo Favila, Bienvenido Nebres, and Jose Marasigan.
Mathematics can be viewed in three ways: as an art of calculation, as a language, and as a way of thinking. It has inspired and been used in various art forms through concepts like symmetry and perspective. As a language, mathematics uses symbolic notation and formulas that are understood internationally, acting as sentences. As a way of thinking, mathematics teaches logical, analytical, and precise thinking that benefits everyone, though is not natural and requires education to fully develop.
Mathematics is defined in multiple ways throughout the document. It is summarized as the science of quantity, measurement, and spatial relationships. It involves both inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves making general conclusions from specific observations, while deductive reasoning involves drawing logical conclusions from initial assumptions or axioms. Teaching mathematics effectively uses both inductive and deductive methods, moving from specific examples to broader conclusions or from general principles to specific applications.
Mathematics can be viewed in three ways: as an art of calculation, as a language, and as a way of thinking. It has influenced art through concepts like perspective and symmetry. As a language, mathematics uses specialized symbols and notation to communicate ideas internationally. As a way of thinking, mathematics teaches logical, analytical, and quantitative thinking with precision, which benefits everyone.

Yesterday, March 14, International Mathematics Day was celebrated around the world, created by UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 2019 at the suggestion of the International Mathematical Union (IMU). Currently, Mathematics is the most important science in the modern world because it is present in all scientific areas. The Scientific Revolution, which began in the 15th century, made knowledge more structured and more practical, absorbing empiricism as a mechanism to consolidate findings. Amid all the effervescence favorable to the Scientific Revolution, Mathematics gained space and developed with great relevance for the development of a more rigorous and critical scientific method. Mathematics began to describe scientific truths applied to all branches of science.

4. INTRODUCTION
[History of Functions]
In the 18th and 19th centuries, scientists discovered that the
elementary functions--powers, roots, trigonometric functions and their
inverses--had their limitations. They found that solutions for some
important physical problems--like the orbital motion of planets, the
oscillatory motion of suspended chains, and the calculation of the
gravitational potential of nearly spherical bodies--could not always be
described in a closed form using only elementary functions. Even in the
realm of pure mathematics, some quantities--such as the
circumference of an ellipse--were also impossible to discuss in such
terms. Functions describing solutions to these problems were often
expressed as infinite series, as integrals, or as solutions to differential
equations.
On further investigation, scientists noted that a relatively small number
of these special functions turned up over and over again in different
contexts. What's more, they noted that many other problems could be
solved in the form of a comparatively simple combination of these
newer functions with the elementary functions known to the ancients.
Functions that cropped up most frequently in scientific calculations
were given names and notations which have come into common usage:
Bessel functions, Struve functions, Mathieu functions, the spherical
harmonics, the Gamma function, the Beta function, Jacobi functions,
and most of the others appearing on this website.
In the second half of the 19th century mathematicians also started to
investigate these special functions from a purely theoretical
perspective. Alternative representations--as differential equations,
4
5. series, integrals, continued fractions, or other forms--were found for
many. Important publications on the topic at the turn of the century
include the four-volume masterpiece on the elliptic functions by J.
Tannery and J. Molk (published 1893-1902), containing hundreds of
pages of collected formulas; I. Todhunter's treatise on Laplace, Lamé
and Bessel functions (1875); E. Heine's treatise on spherical harmonics
(1881) and A. Wangerin's work on the same topic (1904).
Large tables with numerical values for the special functions also began
to appear, along with three-dimensional "graphs" made of wood or
plaster--masterpieces of precision sculpting--showing the behavior of
functions such as P and the Jacobi functions. Many of these models are
still on display in math departments throughout the world, and the
graphics on this website can be thought of as their modern, computer-
drawn counterparts.
Charles Babbage, who designed but was unable to build the "difference
engine," planned a printing device allowing the machine to generate
large tables automatically. A Swedish publisher named Georg Scheutz
and his son Edvard later built a difference engine that could set type. In
1857, the Scheutzes produced a mechanically generated table of
common logarithms to five decimal places for the integers from 1 to
10,000; each value took about thirty seconds to calculate.
Funktionentafeln mit Formeln und Kurven, the first modern handbook
of special functions--that is, one containing graphs, formulas, and
numerical tables--was published in 1909 by Eugene Jahnke and Fritz
Emde. The first text dealing comprehensively with most of the named
special functions was E. T. Whittaker and G. N. Watson's A Course of
Modern Analysis, 2nd Edition (1915).
This popular text consisted of two parts; Part I is a textbook of complex
analysis, while Part II is a handbook of special functions.
5
6. In 1939, orthogonal polynomials were given their first detailed
treatment by Gábor Szegö. This work was followed in 1943 by Wilhelm
Magnus and Fritz Oberhettinger's Formeln und Lehrsätze für die
speziellen Funktionen der Mathematischen Physik, the most complete
collection of formulas involving special functions yet prepared.
The massive Bateman Manuscript Project--the editing for posthumous
publication of Harry Bateman's accumulated notes on special functions,
which he stored in shoe boxes--was carried out by Arthur Erdélyi,
Wilhelm Magnus, Fritz Oberhettinger, and Francesco Tricomi,
culminating in 1953 with the classic three-volume work Higher
Transcendental Functions. This monumental collection contains not
only formulas, but also derivations, proofs, and historical remarks.
(Along with the contents of Higher Transcendental Functions,
Bateman's shoe boxes held enough material for a two-volume set of
integral transform tables.)
In Higher Transcendental Functions, Erdélyi introduced a new emphasis
on the importance of hypergeometric functions as an underlying,
unifying basis for the development of many of the categories of special
functions. Although 2F1 had been extensively studied since the time of
Gauss, mathematicians were slow to appreciate the importance of the
generalized hypergeometric pFq and to recognize the many relations
between hypergeometric functions and the special functions
encountered most frequently. Another innovation in Higher
Transcendental Functions was the inclusion of number-theoretical
functions.
6
7. Parallel to the handbooks dealing with series expansions, differential
equations, functional identities, and so forth of special functions, many
integral tables were developed in the 20th century.
Among these, especially the tables of W. Gröbner, N. Hofreiter, A.
Erdelyi, W. Magnus, F. Oberhettinger, I. S. Gradshteyn, I.H. Ryshik, H.
Exton, H. M. Srivastava, A. P. Prudnikov, Ya. A. Brychkov, and O. I.
Marichev are noteworthy.
Application of the electronic computer resulted in many massive
volumes containing hundreds of pages of tables for Bessel functions,
elliptic integrals, Legendre functions, and so on. An important
handbook containing graphs, formulas, and compute-generated
numerical data was assembled by Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun.
This work was published in 1964 by the National Bureau of Standards as
the Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and
Mathematical Tables. Individual chapters were compiled by various
authors, leading to a certain unevenness in the quality of the material
and its presentation. Nevertheless, the Handbook of Mathematical
Functions remains a standard reference and is still in widespread use.
Ironically, the computer, that led to the creation of such mammoth
numeric tables is now eliminating the need for them. The ready
availability of computer processing time and technical software now
allows technical users to calculate the values of any needed function
without recourse to reference works. Mathematica can calculate every
special function on this website to any desired precision for any real or
complex values of the arguments and parameters.
Additionally, Mathematica can symbolically and numerically calculate
values for integrals or other operations and transformations involving
these functions, providing far more information than any single
handbook could possibly tabulate.
7
8. Thereby the need for an even more comprehensive collection of special
functions persists. And the Wolfram Functions Site is the most
complete such resource today. With tens of thousands of identities,
some extending over multiple pages if printed. The website is virtually
arbitrarily extensible and not bound to the limitations of a printed
book. Updating is easy, so new information can be quickly incorporated
into the website.

V=( (80)(75)) x 13

The structure built with minimum cost is structure 2
(b) If I am asked to choose the shape of sculpture to be built, I will
prefer to the structure 1. Of course, the main reason for me to choose
the shape is due to its beautifulness. For a, a parabolic shape give us a
sence of smoothness compare to other edges shape. Besides, most of
the memorial poles are made of this shape. Although use this shape is
not as cheap as using the shape structure 2 and 4, but for me RM 10
does not become a burden to our society.

17. PART C
The triangle ACE, ABD and BCF are equilateral triangle. (all angle = 60° )
y is the area of BDEF.
Using formula A = ab sin C,
y = [( x 80 x 80 sin 60°)-( x x sin 60°)-( x (80-x)(80-x) sin 60°)]
= (3200 - - ) sin 60°
= (3200 - - + 80x - 3200) sin 60°
= (- + 80x) sin 60°
= - sin 60° + 80x sin 60°
17
18. (b) y=- sin 60° + 80x sin 60°
÷ = -x sin 60° + 80 sin 60°
- sin 60° = m
x= X

The table above is used to plot the graph = -x sin 60° + 80 sin 60°.
The graph is shown on the graph paper next page.
From the graph,
When x = 5.5, = 64.5
y = 64.5 x 5.5
= 354.75

19. (c)Determine the maximum area of BDEF.
1st method,
Completing square of function,
y=a
y = (- + 80x) sin 60°
y = -1( - 80x + - ) sin 60°
y = -1 sin 60° + 1600 sin 60°
the maximum value of y
=q
= 1600 sin 60°
= 1385.64
2nd method,
Differentiation
y =- sin 60° + 80x sin 60°
= -2x sin 60° + 80 sin 60°
At turning point, =0
-2x sin 60° + 80 sin 60° = 0
-2x sin 60° = -80 sin 60°
x=
x = 40
When x = 40,
y=- sin 60° + 80(40) sin 60°
y = 1385.64

20. CONCLUSION
After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs and some
problem solving, I saw that the usage othe people who Functions is
important. Functions is commonly used to help to measure. Especially
in measure the area of the building. In conclusion, Functions is a daily
life nessecities. Without it, it is harder to measure something. So, we
should thankful of the people who contribute in the idea of making
Functions.
