Describing

Mathematical
System
QUARTER 3
 The mathematical system known as
Euclidian Geometry attributed to Euclid,
was described in his textbook the
“Elements” as a structure formed from
one or more sets of undefined objects,
various concepts which may or may not
be defined, and a set of axioms relating
these objects and concepts.
 Undefined terms are terms that do not
require a definition but can be described.
 Defined Terms are the terms of
mathematical system that can be defined
using undefined terms. Examples of
defined terms are angle, line segment,
and circle.
 Axioms and Postulates are the
statements assumed to be true and no
need for further proof. Consider the
statements:
1. The sun sets in the west.
2. The Philippines is found in Asia.
3. There are 7 days in a week.
 Postulates are assumptions specific to
Geometry.
 Axioms are generally statements used
throughout mathematics. The axioms
often used in Algebra and Geometry are
the Axioms for Real Numbers
 Postulates or axioms are statements that
may be used to justify the statements in
a proof.
 Theorems are statements accepted after they
are proven true deductively. Theorems are
derived from the set of axioms in an axiomatic
mathematical system. Below is the flow on
how to arrive to the theorems.
1. Given: -2 = n
Prove: n = -2
2. Given: 15x – 30 = 5x
Prove: x = 3
3. Given: 𝟓𝒙 – 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟑𝒙 – 2
Prove: x = 4
4. Given: 2𝑥 – 5 = −𝑥 + 10
Prove: x = 5
