Now. Let us test your intuition. We have here a set of problems. Make your
own conclusion based on the given problem without solving it
mathematically.
1.) Which of the two have the largest value? Explain it accurately towards
to correct conclusion.
10³ ; 3¹⁰
EXPLANATION:
34 x 12 = ; 21 x 43= ; 54 x 31=
EXPLANATION:
34 x 12 = 408
21 x 43 = 903
54 x 31 = 1674
3.) Look at the figure below. Are two line straight line? What is your
intuition?
EXPLANATION:
Actually , these two lines are straight loine. But intuitirely, they are not.
And this is caused by optical illusion

Next, if a was odd, a^2 must also be odd. This is because if a^2 = a*a
and if a is odd, aka not divisible by 2, then there is no 2 within the prime
factorization of a*a to make the number even. For example, if a was 9,
a^2 would be 81, or 9*9, or 3*3*3*3. Since 2 is not among the prime
factors, it can’t be even and therefore must be odd (or 0).
ANSWER: true; ¿
An odd number multiplied by another odd number is still an
odd number thus, ( xy )3 are odd number. Its true.
So if (n-m) = 2k then
Furthermore, if (n-m) is even, n and m are both even, or they are both
odd. In both cases (n-m) and (n + m) are even, so their product is even.
x=2m+1…(1)
x2−1=(2m+1)2−1=4m2+4m+1−1=4m2+4m=4m(m+1)...(2)
Second proof:
Let us assume that for x= odd, x2−1 is not divisible by 4 . Then, since
x2−1 is even, we have only one case for x2−1 . This case is:
x2−1≡2mod4…(1)
By (1) , it follows that there exist positive integer p , such that:
x2−1=4p+2=>x2=4p+3=>x2≡3mod4…(2)
For x≡1mod4=>x2≡1mod4…(3)
For x≡3mod4=>x2≡1mod4…(4)
ANSWER: As x is odd, both x-1 and x+1 are even. Among two nearest
even integers, one must be a multiple of 4. Hence
SELF LEARNING
2m+2n+1=(2m+2n)+1
⟹2(m+n)+1
2k+12=k+12
2k+1 cannot be evenly halved. k is the sum of m+n which are both
integers, so k is an integer. The only way that 2k+1 could be even
is if k is a non-integer such as 0.5 or 1.5, but two integers cannot
sum to a non-integer, so the sum of a+b=2k+1 must be odd.
ANSWER: As x is odd, both x-1 and x+1 are even. Among two
nearest even integers, one must be a multiple of 4. Hence
1. y is even
if y is even, then xy is even
{“even” x “uneven” = “ even}
2. y is “0”
x ,y = 0 = even
3. y is uneven
x, y = even
{“even” x “ uneven”= “even}
So if x is , then xy is even

Suppose there is a number x is a multiples of 6.

The nature of division
So. For ll inbteger n which is a multiples of 3 are multiples of 6
You can see this by looking at the case for n = 3. 26=64 and
64+1=65 which is divisible by 5, then noting that, 22n+4=22n∗16 ,
which will still end in 4 and, then, adding 1, will still be divisible
by 5.
SELF LEARNING
x^2 - y^2 = 1
Then
So
(x + y) = 1, (x - y) = 1
x+y=x-y
y = -y, and so y = 0.
But this contradicts our assumption that y does not equal 0
ANSWER:
a proof by contraposition
b a proof by contradiction
Suppose that n
3 + 5 is odd and that n is odd. Since n is odd, the product of
odd numbers
is odd. So we can see that n
3
is odd. But if we subtract 5, then the difference between
the two odd numbers n
3 + 5 and n
3
is even. Thus, our assumption was wrong and it is a
contradiction.

1. The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 27. Find the three integers.
Hence
27=x+x+2+x+4
3x+ 6 = 27
3x = 27-6
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x=7
x+2 = 7+2 = 9
x+4=7+4=11
Answer
The three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 27 are 7, 9 and 11.
2. If the perimeter of a tennis court is 228 feet and the length is 6 feet longer
than twice the width, then what are the length and the width?
ANSWER: If the perimeter of tennis court is 228 feet and the length is 6 feet
longer than twice the width, then what are the length and the width?
B +2B+6 = 114
3B = 108, or
B = 36 ft.
3. There are 364 first-grade students in park elementary school. If there are
26 more girls than boys, how many girls are there?
ANSWER: There are a number of approaches to find this, but I’m going to
try this one.
Girl students minus boy students 195–169=26 more girl students than boy
students.
And as a double check girl students plus boy students 195+169=364 total
students.
4. If two ladders are placed end to end, their combined heights is 31.5 feet.
One ladder is 6.5 feet shorter than the other ladder. What are the heights of
the two ladders?
ANSWER: Understand the Problem — To calculate the lengths of the two
ladders
Plan — Find and expression to fit the problem
Let L be the length of the long ladder.
We are told that:
L + (L - 6.5) = 31.5
Carry out the plan
2L = 38 or L = 19
Therefore the length of the short ladder is L - 6.5 = 12.5
Review
19 + 12.5 = 31.5 QED

2. Oswald is trying to cut down on drinking coffee. His goals is to cut down to
6 cups per week. If he starts with 24 cups the first week, then cuts down to
21 cups the second week and 18 cups the third week, how many week will
it take him to reach his goal?
ANSWER: 9 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
n = an-a1/d + 1
n = 0 - 24/ -3 + 1
n= -24/-3 + 1
n = 8+1
n= 9
3. A new theme parks open in Milford. On opening day, the park has 120
visitors; on each of the next three days, the park has 10 more visitors than
the day before; and on each of the three days after that, the park has 20
more visitors that the days before.
How many visitors does the park have on the seventh day? How many total
visitors does the park have all week?
ANSWER: : 1110
4. Mark is three years older than Janet, and the sum of their ages is 15.
How old are Mark and Janet?
ANSWER: Let the age of Janet be j. Thus, the age of Mark is j + 3. Also,
given that the sum of their ages is 15. Thus, the equation becomes:
j + j + 3 = 15
2j + 3 = 15
2j = 12
Thus, j = 6.

1. Place 10 coins in five straight lines so that each line contains exactly four
coins. Can you arrange four coins so that if you choose any three of them
(i.e., no matter which three of the four you pick), the three coins you chose
form the corners of an equilateral triangle?
ANSWER:
Assumptions:
We want to place 10 coins on a 2 -dimensional plane. We must ensure
that we can form 5 distinct straight lines, each of which goes through
≥4 coins. The criteria of distinct straight lines means that no 2 of the 5
formed lines can share ≥2 same coins.
Answer:
2. If you add the square of Tom’s age to the age of Mary, the sum is 62; but if
you add the square of Mary’s age to the age of Tom, the result is 176. Can
you say the what the ages of Tom and Mary are?
equation 1: t2+m=62
equation 2: m2+t=176
Rewriting equation 1,
m=62−t2
(62−t2)2+t=176
622–124t2+t4+t=176
t4–124t2+t+3844–176=0
t4–124t2+t+3688=0
m=62–49=13
To double check,
plug in both numbers in equation 2,
132+7=169+7=176 .
ANSWER: Let d be the difference between the father's and the mother's
ages,
which is also the difference between John's and Ben's ages, and
also the difference between Ben's and and Mary's ages.
We can only tell that Bill is the middle child, but we cannot tell
which of John and Mary is the oldest and youngest.
4. Refers to example number three. Look for another remaining six (6) 3 x 3
magic square number.
ANSWER: The ages of John and Ben, multiplied together, equals the age of
the father.
The ages of Ben and Mary multiplied together equals the age of the mother.
The product of Bill's age and the older child's age = the older parent's age
The product of Bill's age and the younger child's age = the younger
parent's age
x(x-d) + d = x(x+d)
x�-dx+d = x�+dx
d = 2dx
0 = 2dx - d
0 = d(2x-1)
d=0, or 2x-1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1%2F2
That means all three children are the same age, and the two parents are
the same age.
John, Bill, and Mary are the same age, x. They are either triplets or
adopted children.
x + x + x + x� + x� = 90
2x� + 3x - 90 = 0
That factors as
(x - 6)(2x + 15) = 0
x - 6 = 0; 2x + 15 = 0
x=6 2x = -15
x = -15/2, which we ignore.
