1.0 RATIONALE
Step 1: Find the critical points
Critical points are the points where the derivative of the function is either
equal to zero or undefined. These points could potentially be the maximum
or minimum values of the function.

Step 2: Test the critical points using the second derivative test
We can use the second derivative test to determine whether the critical
points are points of maximum, minimum, or neither. The second derivative
gives us information about the concavity of the function at a particular point.

If the second derivative is positive at a critical point, then the function has a
local minimum at that point.
If the second derivative is negative at a critical point, then the function has a
local maximum at that point.
If the second derivative is zero at a critical point, then the test is inconclusive
and we cannot determine whether it is a maximum, minimum, or neither.

Step 3: Check the endpoints, if applicable

If the function is defined on a closed interval, we also need to check the
endpoints of the interval, as they could potentially be the maximum or
minimum values of the function.

2.0 Aim/Benefits of micro-project:

Micro-Project helps student to develop social skills which
are necessary for team work. Students express their

7.0 Outputs of the Micro-Project

1. Guided Media:
It is also referred to as Wired or Bounded transmission
media. Signals being transmitted are directed and confined in a
narrow pathway by using physical links.

1. There are 3 major types of Guided Media:

(i) Twisted Pair Cable –

GROUP-08/IF2I Page 11
 It consists of 2 separately insulated conductor wires wound
about each other. Generally, several such pairs are bundled together in a
protective sheath. They are the most widely used Transmission Media.

Twisted Pair is of two types:

 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP):
UTP consists of two insulated copper wires twisted around one another. This
type of cable has the ability to block interference and does not depend on a
physical shield for this purpose. It is used for telephonic applications

 Advantages:
⇢ Least expensive
⇢ Easy to install
⇢ High-speed capacity
 Disadvantages:
⇢ Susceptible to external interference
⇢ Lower capacity and performance in comparison to STP
⇢ Short distance transmission due to attenuation

 Applications:
⇢Used in telephone connections and LAN networks

 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP):

This type of cable consists of a special jacket (a
copper braid covering or a foil shield) to block external

GROUP-08/IF2I Page 12
interference. It is used in fast-data-rate Ethernet and in voice and data
channels of telephone lines.

 Advantages:
⇢ Better performance at a higher data rate in comparison to UTP
⇢ Eliminates crosstalk
⇢ Comparatively faster

 Disadvantages:
⇢ Comparatively difficult to install and manufacture
⇢ More expensive
⇢ Bulky

 Applications:
The shielded twisted pair type of cable is most frequently
used in extremely cold climates.

(ii) Coaxial Cable –

It has an outer plastic covering containing an insulation layer
made of PVC or Teflon and 2 parallel conductors each having a separate
insulated protection cover. The coaxial cable transmits information in two
modes: Baseband mode(dedicated cable bandwidth) and Broadband
mode(cable bandwidth is split into separate ranges). Cable TVs and analog
television networks widely use Coaxial cables.

GROUP-08/IF2I Page 13
 Advantages:
⇢ High Bandwidth
⇢ Better noise Immunity
⇢ Easy to install and expand
⇢ Inexpensive

 Disadvantages:
⇢ Single cable failure can disrupt the entire network Applications:

 Applications:
⇢Radio frequency signals are sent over coaxial wire. It can be used for
cable television signal distribution, digital audio (S/PDIF), computer
network connections (like Ethernet), and feedlines that connect radio
transmitters and receivers to their antennas.

(iii) Optical Fiber Cable –

⇢It uses the concept of refraction of light through a core made up of
glass or plastic. The core is surrounded by a less dense glass or plastic
covering called the cladding. It is used for the transmission of large
volumes of data.
⇢The cable can be unidirectional or bidirectional. The WDM
(Wavelength Division Multiplexer) supports two modes, namely
unidirectional and bidirectional mode.

GROUP-08/IF2I Page 14
  Advantages:
⇢ Increased capacity and bandwidth
⇢ Lightweight
⇢ Less signal attenuation
⇢ Immunity to electromagnetic interference
⇢ Resistance to corrosive materials

 Disadvantages:
⇢Difficult to install and maintain
⇢High cost
⇢Fragile

 Applications:
⇢Medical Purpose: Used in several types of medical instruments.
⇢Defence Purpose: Used in transmission of data in aerospace.
⇢For Communication: This is largely used in formation of internet
cables.
⇢Industrial Purpose: Used for lighting purposes and safety measures
in designing the interior and exterior of automobiles
