- WHAT I HAVE LEARNED-
MODULE 1
LESSON 1 WIHL
Linear equations in two variables use the equal (=) symbol.
Linear inequalities in two variables use greater than (>), less than
(<), greater than or equal (≥) or less than or equal (≤).
A linear equation has only 1 solution or value for the variable while
linear inequality can have solutions more than 1.
LESSON 2 WIHL
In illustrating linear inequalities, if the slope is positive, the line is
inclined to the right but if the slope is negative, the line is inclined to
the left. If the symbol of inequality is ≥ or ≤ then the boundary line is
solid line and the points on the line are solutions of the inequality. If
the symbol of inequality used is > or < then the boundary line is
broken line and the points are NOT a solution of the inequality. The
shaded region shows the solutions of the inequality, as well.
LESSON 3 WIHL
Translating English phrases into Mathematical expression will be of
great help in solving word problems involving linear inequalities in 2
variables.

MODULE 2
LESSON 1 WIHL
The solution of a system of linear inequalities in two variables like Ax
+ By > C is an ordered pair (x, y) that produces a true statement
when the values of x and y are substituted both into the inequality.
Solutions of system of linear inequalities can be determined
algebraically and graphically.
The things to consider in solving word problems involving systems
of linear inequalities are given, asked, formula, solve the inequalities,
and answer.
MODULE 3
LESSON 1 WIHL
A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y), wherein x is related to y.
The 3 representations are mapping diagram, table of values, and
graphs. In mapping diagrams, there are 3 correspondences which are
one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one correspondences.
LESSON 2 WIHL
Functions are relations with a special case. If the value of x is not
repeated, then the relation is a function. The vertical line test is used
to determine if a graph is a function or simply a relation. To verify if
an equation is a function, just check out if the variable y has no
exponent aside from one.
LESSON 3 WIHL
Function means the dependent variable is determined by the
independent variable(s). The independent variable is denoted by x
while the dependent variable is often designated by y. We say y is a
function of x. This means y depends on or is determined by x.
MODULE 4
LESSON 1 WIHL
A linear function is a function in the first degree. It is written
using the symbol f(x) which is read as “f of x”.
The domain of a linear function when it is in the form f(x) = Ax + B
where A and B are intergers, is D = {x|x є ℝ} while it range is R = {y|y
є ℝ}.
If the function is a constant, then the domain is all real numbers.
The range is the constant itself.
When the function is written in fraction form, take the denominator
and add ≠ 0, solve for the value of x to get the domain. Its range is
always R = {y|y є ℝ}.
LESSON 2 WIHL
Linear function is a function whose domain (x-value) is paired
with one range (y-value) only and is represented by a line.
In graphing linear functions, consider the following:
A. Given the domain and range
The symbols ( ) mean that the number is approaching infinity. NO
SHADING
The symbols [ ] mean that the number ends to that number. WITH
SHADING
B. Given the table of values
Create table of values and plot the points
C. Given the x- and y-intercepts
x-intercept (x,0) is a point in the x-axis while y-intercept (0,y) is a
point in the y-axis where the line pass through.
D. Given the slope
Slope is the steepness of the line. It is denoted by rise/run where
rise is y2-y1 and run is x2-x1. If the slope is positive, then the line is
inclined to the right and if it is negative then the line is inclined to
the left.

MODULE 5
LESSON 1 WIHL
In solving word problems involving linear functions, you need to
identify the independent and dependent variables, the constant
change in a specific time frame, and the equation representing the
linear function.

MODULE 6
LESSON 1WIHL
Hypothesis is the condition in a given statement while conclusion is
the judgment reached by reasoning. Proportion is the equality
between two ratios.
To determine the validity of a statement, it must follow the
proportion Hypothesis: Conclusion = Hypothesis: Conclusion
 LESSON 2 WIHL
If-Then statements are also called as CONDITIONAL
STATEMENTS. The word “if” signals the condition or the hypothesis
while the term “then” states the outcome or the conclusion.
To make an if-then form, we must follow this format:
If (hypothesis), then (conclusion)

LESSON 1 WIHL

MODULE 8
LESSON 1 WIHL
The contrapositive of a converse statement is the inverse
STATEMENT.
The converse of an inverse statement is the contrapositive
STATEMENT.
The inverse of a contrapositive statements is the converse
STATEMENT.

MODULE 9
LESSON 1 WIHL
1.What is the major difference between Deductive and inductive
reasoning?
The main difference between inductive and deductive reasoning is
that inductive reasoning aims at developing a theory while deductive
reasoning aims at testing an existing theory.
2. If proving theorem activity is for deductive reasoning, then
scientific method is for inductive reasoning.
3. What is intuition? Do you believe that women are more intuitive
than men? Why?
Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without recourse to
conscious reasoning. No, because it depends on the person not the
gender.
4. Which do you think is more reliable reasoning; based on personal
experience or reasoning based on analogy? Explain.
Based on personal experience, because I only trust something if I
feel it with my own senses.
5. How do you determine whether the given situation involves
deductive or inductive reasoning?
Inductive reasoning Use conjecture as conclusion or
generalization. While, deductive reasoning uses logical arguments to
arrive at a valid conclusion.
MODULE 10
LESSON 1 WIHL
1. Deductive reasoning is a “tool” used to prove theorem. This type of
reasoning uses accepted facts to reason in a step- by- step manner
until the required proof is attained.
2. A proof is a logical argument in which each statement is supported
/ justified by given information, definitions, postulates and
previously proved theorems.
3. Flow – Chart Form is a way of writing proof where a series of
statements are organized in logical order using boxes and arrows.
4. Two - Column Form is the form of writing proofs in which each
statement in the logical argument is written in the left- hand column
and the reason for each statement is written directly across in the
right - hand column.
5. Paragraph Form this form of writing proof is where you write a
paragraph to explain why a statement in an argument is true.
LESSON 2 WIHL
1. Differentiate direct proof from indirect proof. Use a table for
comparison
2. Enumerate the steps in writing an indirect proof.
1. Assume that the negation of the conclusion of the theorem to be
true.
2. Show that the assumption leads to a contradiction of the
hypothesis.
3. Make a conclusion that the original conclusion must be true
because the assumption has been shown to be false.
