Unit Task 3.3 (INDIVIDUAL)

Use inductive reasoning to decide whether the conclusion for each argument is correct. Write TRUE on
the space provided before each number if the conclusion is correct, otherwise, FALSE.
___TRUE_____ 1. The sum of any two even numbers is an even number.
___TRUE_____ 2. If a number with three or more digits is divisible by 4, then the number formed by the
last two digits of the number is divisible by 4.
____TRUE____ 3. The product of an odd integer and an even integer is always an even number.
____TRUE____ 4. The cube of an odd integer is always an odd number.
____FALSE____ 5. Pick any counting number. Multiply the number by 6. Add 8 to the product. Divide
the sum by 2. Subtract 4 from the quotient. The resulting number is twice the original number.

Solve the following problems:

1. Galileo used inclines similar to the one shown below to measure the distance balls of various weights
would travel in equal time intervals. The conclusions that Galileo reached from these experiments were
contrary to the prevailing Aristotelian theories on the subject, and he lost his post at the University of
Pisa because of them.
An experiment with an incline and three balls produced the following results. The three balls are each
the same size; however, ball A has a mass of 20 grams, ball B has a mass of 40 grams, and ball C has
a mass of 80 grams.

a.If the weight of a ball is doubled, what effect does this have on the distance it rolls in a given time
interval?
-It affects the distance of the ball because if you double the weight the speed will decrease .

b.How far will ball A travel in 5 seconds?


150 inches

c.If a particular time is doubled, what effect does this have on the distance a ball travels?
It only depends on the weight of the ball, so it does not affect it even if you double the time

d.How much time is required for one of the balls to travel 1.5 inches?
0.25 seconds
2. The Changs, Steinbergs, Ontkeans, and Gonzaleses were winners in the All-State Cooking Contest.
There was a winner in each of four categories: soup, entrée, salad, and dessert. From the following
clues, determine in which category each family was the winner.
a. The soups were judged before the Ontkeans’ winning entry.
b. This year’s contest was the first for the Steinbergs and for the winner in the dessert category. The
Changs and the winner of the soup category entered last year’s contest.
c.The winning entrée took 2 hours to cook, whereas the Steinberg’s entrée required no cooking at all.

Winner Soup Entrée Salad Dessert


Changs X2  X3 X2
Steinbergs X2 X3  X2
Ontkeans X1 X2 X2 
Gonzales  X2 X2 X2

Chang Family won the the Entrée category.


Steinberg Family won the Salad category.
Ontkean Family won the Dessert category.
Gonzales family won the soup category.

3.Nothing is known about the personal life of the ancient Greek mathematician Diophantus except for
the information in the following epigram. “Diophantus passed of his life in childhood, in youth, and
more as a bachelor. Five years after his marriage was born a son who died four years before his father,
at his father’s (final) age.”
How old was Diophantus when he died?
X= Diophantus age
X=1/6 x + 1/12 x + 1/7 x + 5 + ½ x +4
X=25/28 x + 9
X- 25/28 x= 9
1/1 – 25/28 x =9
3/28 x =9
X= 9 x 28/3
X=252/3
X=84 (Diophantus died at the age of 84 years old.)

4.In how many ways can you answer a 12-question true-false test if you answer each question with
either a “true” or a “false”?
It will be 4096 ways to answer it. Because in one question there are two ways to answer it . so
because it is a 12 question we can simply say 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 4096. Or 212

5.An airline flies from Manila to Davao with a stop-over in Cebu. It charges a fare of 1,800 pesos from
Manila to Cebu and a fare of 3,500 pesos from Manila to Davao. In one flight, a total pf 180 passengers
boarded the plane in Manila and the collected fare totaled 494,000 pesos. How many passengers got
off the plane in Cebu?
Solution:
a= Manila to Cebu
b= Manila to Davao
a+b= 180 Equation 1
1800a + 3500b = 494,000 Equation 2
B= 180 – a = equation 1
Substitute equation 1 to equation 2:

1800a+ 3500 (180- x)=494,000


1800a +630,000 – 3500a= 494,000
1800a – 3500a= 630,000 + 494,000
-1700a = -136,000
a= -136,000 / -1700
a= 80 passengers went to Cebu

1800(180-b) + 3500b= 494,000


524,000 -1800b + 3500b =494,000
-1800b + 3500b=494,000 – 324,000
1700b = 170,000
B= 170,000 / 1700
= 100 passengers went to Davao
