INTRODUCTION
We student taking additional mathematics are required to carry out a project work while we are in form 5. This year the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of education has prepared three tasks for us. We have to complete one task based on our interest. Upon completion of this Additional Mathematics Project work, we can gain valueable experiences and able to : Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies to solve routine and nonroutine problem. Experience classroom environments where expressing ones mathematical thinking, reasoning and communication are highly encouraged and expected. Realised that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real-life problems and hence develop positive attitude towards mathematics

APPRECIATION
First of all, Alhamdulillah and thank a lot to Allah for giving the will to me to complete this Additional Mathematics project. Secondly, I would like to thank to my principal, Tuan Haji Shaharuddin bin Haji Mydin for giving me the permission to do my this project work. I also like to thank my teacher, Puan Azizah binti Kamar for the guide and gave useful information to me completing this project. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents, friends and the community for their support and encouragement. Hopes that we would success together in our SPM.

PART I History of cake baking and decorating Although clear examples of the difference between cake and bread are easy to find, the precise classification has always been elusive. For example, banana bread may be properly considered either a quick bread or a cake.The Greeks invented beer as a leavener, frying fritters in olive oil, and cheesecakes using goat's milk. In ancient Rome, basic bread dough was sometimes enriched with butter, eggs, and honey, which produced a sweet and cake-like baked good. Latin poet Ovid refers to the birthday of him and his brother with party and cake in his first book of exile, Tristia.Early cakes in England were also essentially bread: the most obvious differences between a "cake" and "bread" were the round, flat shape of the cakes, and the cooking method, which turned cakes over once while cooking, while bread was left upright throughout the baking process. Sponge cakes, leavened with beaten eggs, originated during the Renaissance, possibly in Spain. Cake decorating is one of the sugar arts requiring mathematics that uses icing or frosting and other edible decorative elements to make otherwise plain cakes more visually interesting. Alternatively, cakes can be moulded and sculpted to resemble three-dimensional persons, places and things. In many areas of the world, decorated cakes are often a focal point of a special celebration such as a birthday, graduation, bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary. Mathematics are often used to bake and decorate cakes, especially in the following actions: Measurement of Ingredients Calculation of Price and Estimated Cost Estimation of Dimensions Calculation of Baking Times Modification of Recipe according to scale

b) i) h < 7 cm , h > 45 cm This is because any heights lower than 7 cm will result in the diameter of the cake being too big to fit into the baking oven while any heights higher than 45 cm will cause the cake being too tall to fit into the baking oven

b) ii) I would suggest the dimensions of the cake to be 29 cm in height and approximately 29 cm in diameter. This is because a cake with these dimensions is more symmetrical and easier to decorate.

c) i)

V = r2h V = 19000 cm3 r = d/2 19000 = 3.142 x (d/2)2 x h d2 = 19000 4 3.142 x (d2/4)

c) ii) a) When h = 10.5 cm, log10 h = 1.0212 According to the graph, log10 d = 1.7 when log10 h = 1.0212 Therefore, d = 50.12 cm b) When d = 42 cm, log10 d = 1.6232 According to the graph, log10 h = 1.2 when log10 d = 1.6232 Therefore, h = 15.85 cm

h = 29 cm r = 14.44 cm
14.44 cm

29 cm Diagram 1: Cake without Cream 1 cm 15.44 cm 1 cm 30 cm

Diagram 2: Cake with Cream

To calculate volume of cream used, the cream is symbolised as the larger cylinder and the cake is symbolised as the smaller cylinder. Vcream = 3.142 x 15.442 x 30 19000 = 22471 19000 = 3471 cm3

3) b) i) Square shaped cake

Estimated volume of cream used = 30 x 27.6 x 27.6 - 19000 = 22852.8 19000 = 3852.8 cm3 b) ii) Triangle shaped cake

Estimated volume of cream used = x 39.7 x 39.7 x 30 19000 = 23641.4 19000 = 4641.4 cm3 b) iii) Trapezium shaped cake

Estimated volume of cream used = x (28+42.5) x 22 x 30 - 19000 = 23265 19000 = 4265 cm3 * All estimations in the values are based on the assumption that the layer of cream is uniformly thick at 1 cm

c) Based on the values I have obtained, the round shaped cake requires the least amount of fresh cream (3471 cm3) PART III Method 1: By comparing values of height against volume of cream used
volume of cream used/cm3 19983.61 10546.04 7474.42 5987.37 5130.07 4585.13 4217.00 3958.20 3771.41 3634.38 3533.03 3458.02 3402.96 3363.28 3335.70 3317.73 3307.53 volume of cream used/cm3 3303.66 3304.98 3310.62 3319.86 3332.12 3346.94 3363.92 3382.74 3403.14 3424.89 3447.80 3471.71 3496.47 3521.98 3548.12 3574.81 3601.97 volume of cream used/cm3 3629.54 3657.46 3685.67 3714.13 3742.81 3771.67 3800.67 3829.79 3859.01 3888.30 3917.65 3947.04 3976.46 4005.88 4035.31 4064.72

According to the table above, the minimum volume of cream used is 3303.66 cm3 when h = 18cm. When h = 18cm, r = 18.3 cm

Method 2: Using differentiation Assuming that the surface area of the cake is proportionate to the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake.* Formula for surface area = r2 + 2rh h = 19000 / 3.142r2 Surface area in contact with cream = r2 + 2r(19000 / 3.142r2) = r2 + (38000/r) The values, when plotted into a graph will from a minimum value that can be obtained through differentiation. dy = 0 dx dy = 2r (38000/r2) dx 0 = 2r (38000/r2) 0 = 6.284r3 38000 38000 = 6.284r3 6047.104 = r3 18.22 = r When r = 18.22 cm, h = 18.22 cm The dimensions of the cake that requires the minimum amount of fresh cream to decorate is approximately 18.2 cm in height and 18.2 cm in radius. I would bake a cake of such dimensions because the cake would not be too large for the cutting or eating of said cake, and it would not be too big to bake in a conventional oven. * The above conjecture is proven by the following When r = 10, ~ the total surface area of the cake is 4114.2 cm2 ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 4381.2 cm3 ~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 When r = 20, ~ the total surface area of the cake is 3156.8 cm2 ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 3308.5 cm3 ~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 Therefore, the above conjecture is proven to be true.

FURTHER EXPLORATION

a) Volume of cake 1 = r2h = 3.142 x 31 x 31 x 6 = 18116.772 cm3 Volume of cake 3 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 0.9 x 31)2 x 6 = 3.142 x (25.11)2 x 6 = 11886.414 cm3

Volume of cake 2 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 31)2 x 6 = 3.142 x (27.9)2 x 6 = 14676.585 cm3 Volume of cake 4 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 31)2 x 6 = 3.142 x (22.599)2 x 6 = 9627.995 cm3

The values 118116.772, 14676.585, 11886.414, 9627.995 form a number pattern. The pattern formed is a geometrical progression. This is proven by the fact that there is a common ratio between subsequent numbers, r = 0.81. 14676.585 = 0.81 18116.772 9627.995 = 0.81 11886.414
.

11886.414 = 0.81 14676.585

b) Sn = a(1-rn) = 18116.772 ( 1-0.8n) 1-r 1-0.8 15 kg = 57000 cm3 57000 > 18116.772(1-0.8n) 0.2 11400 > 18116.772(1-0.8n) 0.629 > 1-0.8n -0.371 > - 0.8n 0.371 < 0.8n log 0.371 < n log 0.8 log 0.371 < n log 0.8 4.444 n=4 <n

Verification of answer If n = 4 Total volume of 4 cakes = 18116.772 cm3 + 14676.585 cm3 + 11886.414 cm3 + 9627.995 cm3 = 54307.766 cm3 Total mass of cakes = 14.29 kg If n = 5 Total volume of 5 cakes = 18116.772 cm3 + 14676.585 cm3 + 11886.414 cm3 + 9627.995 cm3 + 7798.676 cm3 = 62106.442 cm3 Total mass of cakes = 16.34 kg Total mass of cakes must not exceed 15 kg. Therefore, maximum number of cakes needed to be made = 4

Reflection In the process of conducting this project, I have learnt that perseverance pays off, especially when you obtain a just reward for all your hard work. For me, succeeding in completing this project work has been reward enough. I have also learnt that mathematics is used everywhere in daily life, from the most simple things like baking and decorating a cake, to designing and building monuments. Besides that, I have learned many moral values that I practice. This project work had taught me to be more confident when doing something especially the homework given by the teacher. I also learned to be a more disciplined student who is punctual and independent.
