Part 1: Application of Differentiation and Integration (10 Marks)
You are required to develop a piece of C++ program to perform the Differentiation and
Integration of a polynomial equation with 2 expressions.
For Example : 4𝑡 2 − 𝑡
Using the application on Motion as basis, your program should be able to calculate the
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration as requested by users based on the value of t supplied.
Equation: 4𝑡 2 − 𝑡 If Find Displacement (Integration):
4𝑡 3 𝑡 2
If Type of equation: Velocity 𝐷 (𝑡) = −
3 2
9 63
𝐷(3) = 36 − =
Coefficient of expression 1: 4 2 2
Power of expression 1: 2
Coefficient of expression 2: -1 If Find Velocity:
Power of expression 2: 1 𝑉(𝑡) = 4𝑡 2 − 𝑡
𝑉(3) = 108 − 3 = 105
Value of t = 3
If Find Acceleration:
𝐴(𝑡) = 8𝑡 − 1
𝐴(𝑡) = 24 − 1 = 23
As a general guideline,
1. You ask your users for the equation and type of equation (Displacement, Velocity or
Acceleration).
2. Ask your users for the value of t
3. Ask your users what they want to find: Displacement, Velocity or Acceleration
4. If user just want to know the value of the type of equation they input, then just calculate
based on t.
If they want to know value of other operations, then you need to perform differentiation or
integration based on the value of t.
For example:
User input displacement equation.
If they want to find displacement, then just calculate based on t.
If they want to find Velocity you need to perform differentiation on t then calculate t.

Part 2 Application of Linear Algebra (10 Marks)
You are required to develop a piece of C++ program to perform the Matrix algebra as stated
below:
1. Addition & Subtraction
2. Multiplication
You program should prompt user to select the Matrix algebra they wish to perform and input the
corresponding Matrices to calculate.
As a general guideline,
1. You should use a double array to represent the Matrix if possible, if you are not using array
make sure to display results as Matrix.
2. Check the conditions before performing the algebra, especially matrix dimension
compatibility.
3. You need to show test cases that demonstrate your program works to perform the algebra
and also capture any exceptions.
4. You can limit the size of the matrix to maximum 5x5 dimension
For some example of test cases, use your program to solve some real-life problems involving
matrix algebra as shown below:
