SELF ASSESSMENT ASSIGNMENT A

DO NOT SUBMIT

This assignment covers all the study material

This assignment is one of the past exam paper. The exam paper will be available for download on the
myUnisa site under Additional Resources. The duration of the paper was two hours. It is a good idea for you
to try to answer the questions as though you were in an exam, with no interruptions and no assistance, within
the given time limit.
Since the assignment is self-assessed (i.e. you will mark it yourself)

• you will not be sending it to Unisa to be marked, and thus

• you may use any writing paper for answering the questions, i.e.

• you do not need to use your assignment writing pad to answer the questions.

It is very important to do this assignment.

• It covers all the work.

• It gives you practice in

– writing out a mathematical argument or calculation

– staying within the time limit set for the exam.

• It helps you to identify sections of the work you should study again.

Note that the use of a calculator is not permitted in the MAT1510 exam. The total number of marks
might be more than 100, but 100 is considered to be full marks.
