Introduction to Mathematics Modelling There is huge part of compromise in mathematical modelling. Most of interacting systems in the real life are very complicated to model in their entirety. The first thing is to identify the important parts of the system which will be included in the model, the rest will be excluded. The second thing is to concerns the amount of mathematical manipulation which is valuable. Since mathematics has potential to prove general results, these results depend on the form of equations. Model equations can also be handle by using computers but it may never lead to elegant results. Mathematical modelling can be used for different objectives. Following are some examples: ▷ Development of scientific understanding. …show more content…

The Terrifier coaster is modelled by .for eight seconds. 1.1) which coaster is bigger? Area of Traumatiser roller coaster: Area of Traumatiser roller coaster: Above calculation shows that Traumatiser roller coaster is bigger. 1.2) Use factor theorem to confirm when the Terrifier coaster is at ground level. Factor Theorem: + 1.3) Find maximum and minimum heights using first and second derivatives with appropriate explanations. Traumatiser roller coaster: When t = 1.92, is positive means at this time, height is minimum = -12.09 When t = 6.08, is negative means at this time, height is maximum = 60.08 The Terrifier coaster: When t = 6.12, is positive means at this time, height is minimum = -4.06 When t = 3.21, is negative means at this time, height is maximum = 8.21 1.4) Draw graphs by hand – title, axes labelled, in pencil, appropriate scale, maximum and minimum labelled and include tables of values for …show more content…

It is concluded from section 1.1 and 1.4 that Terrifier coaster has larger underground as it travel underground for 4 seconds (from 0 to 2 and 5 to 7 seconds) while traumatizer coaster travel underground for only 2 seconds (from 1 to 3 seconds). Task 2: Find the maximum speed (5 marks) The velocity of a lorry, between motorway junctions, is modelled by For 0 ≤ t ≤ 30 Where t is the time in seconds after it sets off from the first junction. Find the maximum speed. Solution: Speed is maximum at We know that If we put t=15 in We get the maximum speed = 22.5. Task 3: Find the minimum area (10 marks) A paint manufacturer wants to design a cylindrical can to hold 5 liters of paint (5000).Find the minimum area of material that can be used to make the can and the dimensions of the can. Solution: If r (cm) is radius and h (cm) is height, then volume V = πr2h So if V = 5000 then πr2h = 5000 And the metal used M = 2πr2 + 2πrh M = 2πr2 + 2πrh = 2πr2 + 2πr × ………. (Using ) =2πr2 + 10000r-1 So, =4πr −
