Exercise 1
2.Where do you apply the principles of mathematics?
- I use mathematical principles in my daily life, such as when I am shopping at
the grocery store and the cashier figures out the price of what I buy or counts the
change to see if it is complete or incorrect.
4. What have you learned from school on mathematics so far?
- I've learned to graph, calculate angles, multiply, divide, add, subtract, and solve
problems, among other things, in math class so far. I'm aware that math is a challenging
subject, but I still want to learn a lot about it, despite how challenging it may be.
6. Did you ever perform well in mathematics? Why or why not?
-I believe I do well in math, even though I don't think the subject is as simple as I
make it out to be. However, I worked hard, listened to my teacher, watched some
YouTube videos, and did my best to figure out formulas and the right answers while
also working hard to solve problems that required math.
8. Why did Fibonacci become famous?
- The contributions Fibonacci made to number theory have made him well
known. Prior to this, the numerator had quotation marks around it. He introduces the
fractional bar that is used today. A certain number sequence known as the Fibonacci
sequence was also presented to the world by him. The Arabic system was created by
Fibonacci, who is also credited with this.
10. The following rules give a simple model for the population growth of rabbits.
a. The rabbits are always in pairs for reproduction.
b. A rabbit pair must grow one generation to maturity and then begets one baby pair
at every generation thereafter.
c. No rabbit pairs die off.
under these rules,
Let:
F1 be the baby pair 1st generation.
F2 since it takes one generation to maturity, there is an adult pair for the 2nd generation
which is ready for reproduction.
F3 So, there are two rabbit pairs, the parent and baby pairs, of the 3rd generation.
F4 Next, the adult pair begets a baby pair but the baby pair simply matures, so a family
of three rabbit pairs for the 4th generation, and so on.
In particular,
F1 =1 for the 1st generation,
F2 =1 for the 2nd generation,
F3 =2 for the 3rd generation,
F4 =3 for the 4th generation and so on.
Find a formula for the number of rabbits (including offspring) in the (m+n) generation,
Use the figure on page 10.
Answer:
Formula: (m + n) thgeneration
Let m = matured pair.
Then n = newborn pair.
F1 = (0 + 1) = 1
F2 = (1 + 0) = 1
F 3 = (1 + 1) = 2
F4 = (2 + 1) = 3
12. Find the greatest common divisor, god (F n, F n+1)
Answer:
1 is the greatest common divisor.
14. Dr. Kendra Schmidt, an assistant professor of biostatistics, uses the golden
ratio to study the facial sex appeal. She conjectures that beauty or sex appeal is
related to the proportions of facial features which happen to follow the golden
ratio. Based on this conjecture, check how close your facial proportions are to
the golden ratio. Measure the length and width of your face. Then divide the
length by the width. Is the result roughly the golden ratio? If yes, then you are
beautiful by Dr. Schmidt's conjecture.
Answer:
Length = 8.5
Width = 7
8.5/7 = 1.214
16. Cut out the golden rectangle of different dimensions and show that a
considerable number of cutouts give out the golden ratio. An example is the
figure below.
