MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

- Monthly Examination –

A. In your own words explain the following:

1. Debunk or disprove about Mathematics.
- Some say mathematics is just a book, confined to the classroom and only
those who are gifted can understand it’s concept. On contrary, mathematics is
not just a book that is merely confined to the classroom. Mathematics existed
for its own purpose. We do learn how to solve problem thru math and count
numbers that we can use to our lives like buying groceries, budgeting money,
cooking and etc. Every person can learn and grow. It’s not just because
someone is better than you you're already looking down on yourself because
every person has its own abilities or gift. There is someone that is good in
math but can’t understands English and there are some whose good at
English but cannot solve numerical problems.
2. What is Mathematics?
- Mathematics is a study that deals with the numbers, patterns, shapes,
relation and etc. that involves counting, measuring, reasoning and many
more. It is all around us and in everything that we do. It serves as the building
block for everything in our daily lives including mobile devices, computers,
cooking, money budgeting, and even sports.
3. Mathematics for organization.
- We need mathematics and its tools for organization to help us make analysis
and decisions for the betterment of our lives. For example, I was a sari-sari
store owner and I can make use of data gathering, survey or observation on
the shopping habits of my customers to make necessary adjustments to help
me boost my sales.
4. Mathematics for prediction.
- In matters of prediction, we make use of mathematical models and its
existing data to generate an analysis and interpretations that can be used to
make predictions of the outcomes. For example, PAGASA predicting the
weather by applying the concept of statistics and probability to calculate the
chances of a rain to happen.
5. Mathematics for control.
- Mathematics can help us control nature and occurrences in the world for our
own ends. We make use of observations in our nature as well as the
interactions and relationships that can be described by mathematical
equations and some few symbols we can describe the occurring phenomena.
For example, I am driving a car therefore I am the one responsible to control
the car whether I should accelerate or slow down by looking at my
speedometer.
6. Mathematics is indispensable.
 - Mathematics is indispensable because it has numerous applications even in
our daily life. It helps our life in many more ways than we usually think
whether we buy groceries, budget of money, cook or even what type of work
we do it normally involves math because it helps us maintain the order and
prevent chaos to breakout.
B. Enumerate at least 7 types of patterns, explain, and give at least 2 example
each.
1. Symmetry – we can say that something is symmetrical when it has two
matching halves. We can check for symmetry in a shape by drawing a mirror
line down the middle and seeing if both halves are identical. To simply put,
symmetry means having one side that is the same as the other or mirror
images of each other. For example, a butterfly and a starfish. If we will
imagine that there’s a line in the middle of the butterfly it will show us a mirror
image. As well as for the starfish, which has five-fold symmetry.
2. Fractals – are objects with the same patterns repeat again and again at
different scales and sizes. Examples are everywhere in the forest. For
example, trees are natural fractals, patterns that repeat smaller and smaller
copies of themselves to create the biodiversity of a forest. Other examples are
mountains, ferns, clouds, leaves, lightning, snowflakes and many more.
3. Tessellation – are patterns that are formed by repeated cubes, tiles or a
regular polygon with no overlaps or gaps. For example, a honeycomb and a
snake skin.
4. Foam – is an object or pattern that is formed by the trapping of gas in either
liquid or solid. For example, bubbles in the bottle of soft drinks and a foam
created by the clashing and splashing of waves.
5. Stripe – are patterns of long narrow band or strip that is typically the same
width throughout its length but may have different color or texture from the
surface. For example, a zebra it has two different colors which is black and
white but it has the same pattern of stripes. Another example, is the finding
nemo character or what we call the clownfish which consist of orange, black
and white stripes.
6. Spiral – are patterns or shapes that wind in a gradually or tightening curve.
For example, a seed head of a sunflower and a snail shell.
7. Waves – are patterns or disturbances that carry energy as they move. One of
its examples of course are the waves on the beach. Another one is the waves
that are created in the sand in the desert by the wind.
C. Make a Fibonnaci sequence of ten terms out of the following two terms.
a. f₀ = 4; f₁ = 5
b. f₀ = 3; f₁ = 6
c. f₀ = 5; f₁ = 7
d. f₀ = 1; f₁ = 8
e. f₀ = 2; f₁ = 4
Answers:
a. f0 = 4; f1 = 5; f2 = 9; f3 = 14; f4 = 23; f5 = 37; f6 = 60; f7 = 97; f8 = 157; f9 = 254….
{4, 5, 9, 14, 23, 37, 60, 97, 157, 254…}
b. f0 = 3; f1 = 6; f2 = 9; f3 = 15; f4 = 24; f5 = 39; f6 = 63; f7 = 102; f8 = 165; f9 =
267…. {3,6, 9, 15, 24, 39, 63, 102, 165, 267…}
 c. f0 = 5; f1 = 7; f2 = 12; f3 = 19; f4 = 31; f5 = 50; f6 = 81; f7 = 131; f8 = 212; f9 =
343…. {5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 50, 81, 131, 212, 343…}
d. f0 = 1; f1 = 8; f2 = 9; f3 = 17; f4 = 26; f5 = 43; f6 = 69; f7 = 112; f8 = 181; f9 =
293…. {1, 8, 9, 17, 26, 43, 69, 112, 182, 293…}
e. f0 = 2; f1 = 4; f2 = 6; f3 = 10; f4 = 16; f5 = 26; f6 = 42; f7 = 68; f8 = 110; f9 = 178….
{2, 4, 6, 10, 16, 26, 42, 68, 110, 178…}
