TRIVIA QUESTION:
1.) A FAMOUS GREEK MATHEMATICIAN WHO INVENTED THE “PHYTHAGOREAN
THEOREM”.._ PYTHAGORAS
2. A FAMOUS FRENCH MATHEMATICIAN WHO INVENTED THE CARTESIAN
COORDINATE SYSTEM.._ RENE DESCARTES
3. A Famous Filipino Mathematician who developed the DAMATH..JESUS HUENDA
The names of the 10 famous Filipino Mathematicians are listed randomly below. Let’s
get to know them.
1. Raymundo Favila: He was elected as Academician in 1979. He is one of the people
who initiated mathematics in the Philippines. He had extensive contributions to the
progression of mathematics in the country.
2. Amador Muriel: This mathematician was known due to his significant works and
contributions to theoretical physics. He has made new kinetic equation which is
essential for discovering problems on a statistical method that is non-equilibrium.
3. Bienvenido F. Nebres: Dr. Nebres contributed much to the development of higher
mathematics teaching in the nation being the president of Mathematical Society of
the Philippines for years. He has successfully published 15 documents about pure
mathematics and mathematics education.
4. Tito A. Mijares: This doctor performs studies in relation to multi-variety hypothesis
and analysis. These were published in the Annals of Mathematical Statistics, a
global journal.
5. Gregorio Y. Zara: He became famous for his two-way television telephone and the
Zara Effect or the electrical kinetic resistance.
6. Casimiro del Rosario: He was honored with the Presidential Award in 1965 for his
excellent works in physics, astronomy, and meteorology. His workings on soft x-
rays made him well-known.
7. Dr. Melecio S. Magno: He made researches on the absorption and fluorescence
spectroscopy of rare-earth crystals and how gravitation is affected by typhoons.
8. Apolinario D. Nazarea: He played important roles to the theories on biophysics and
recombinant biotechnology.  His own conceptual framework on the structure of
RNA/DNA investigation is also included.
9. Eduardo Padlan: He was elected as Academician in 2003. He has significant work on
humanized antibodies which have possible applications in the healing of different
diseases including cancer.
10. Jose A. Marasigan: He is a multi-awarded professor here and abroad. He has
received awards like Young Mathematician Grant of the International Mathematical
Union (IMU) to the International Congress of Mathematicians (Finland) and the
Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the National Academy of Science and
Technology. He also initiated the Program of Excellence in Mathematics for
mathematically gifted high school students in Ateneo de Manila.
FOR MATH QUIZ
EASY:
1. Mt. Everest, the highest elevation in Asia, is 29,028 feet above sea level. The Dead Sea, the lowest
elevation, is 1,312 feet below sea level. What is the difference between these two elevations?

2. A submarine was situated 800 feet below sea level. If it ascends 250 feet, what is its new position?
3.

HARD:

1. 1. Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $145. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer
describing how the raise will affect her paycheck. Answer (x+145).

2. Find the lengths of all sides of the right triangle below if its area is 400.
Area = (1/2)(2x)(x) = 400
Solve for x: x = 20 , 2x = 40

3.
DIFFICULT:

1. The distance light travels in one year is approximately 5,870,000,000,000

miles. The distance light travels in 100 years is:

The distance of the light travels in 100 years is:

5,870,000,000,000 × 100 miles.

= 587,000,000,000,000 miles.

= 587 × 1012 miles.

2. Karla is riding vertically in a hot air balloon, directly over a point P on the ground. Karla spots a parked
car on the ground at an angle of depression of 30°. The balloon rises 50 meters. Now the angle of
depression to the car is 35 degrees. How far is the car from point P?
Sin 30 = a/b b ( 0.98 = 50/b )b

0.98 = 50/b 0.98b = 50 b= 51.020 m

3.The angle of elevation of the top of the building at a distance of 50 m from its foot on a horizontal
plane is found to be 60°. Find the height of the building.

tanθ = Opposite side/Adjacent side

tan60° = AB/BC
√3 = AB/50
√3 x 50 = AB
AB = 50√3
Approximate value of √3 is 1.732

AB = 50 (1.732)

     AB = 86.6 m

So, the height of the building is 8
