Direction: Read and answer the questions carefully. Kindly write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
Strictly, no erasure on the theory part.

I. Fill in the blanks with the correct answer.

_____________ 1. Curve which emanates from a point, moving farther away as it resolves around the point.
_____________ 2. Is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter of space, with little or no associated mass
transport.
_____________ 3. The tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps or no gaps.
_____________ 4. In mathematics, it means that an object is invariant to any of various transformations including
reflection, rotating or scaling.
_____________ 5. It is produced by a stream or river swinging from side to side as it flows across its floodplain or shifts its
channel within valley.
_____________ 6. Is a substance formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid.
_____________ 7. Infinitely complex patters that are self-similar across different scales.
_____________ 8. Characteristic of mathematics that able to make very fine distinctions, e.g. the use of mathematical
symbols is only done on its meaning and purpose.
_____________ 9. Is a collection of well-defined objects that contains no duplicate.
_____________ 10. List names of elements of a set, separate them by commas and enclose them in braces.
_____________ 11. A set that contains all the elements considered in a particular situation.
_____________ 12. A subset that is not equal to the original set.
_____________ 13. Is a calculation involving two elements of the set to produce another element of the set.
_____________ 14. A rule that pairs each element in one set.
_____________ 15. With exactly one element from a second set.

II. True or False: True or False. Write AGREE if the statement is true and DISAGREE if the if the statement is false. (2
pts)
1. Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence.
2. The weather is a fantastically complex system, with millions of molecules interacting.
3. In financial mathematics, traders can buy or sell stocks in a company, commodities like oil and gold, or derivatives,
which are virtual goods whose prices are derived from the change of other things.
4. In addition to providing the framework for designing new technologies and weapons, or solutions to logistical problems
like the transportation of soldiers, weapons and food, mathematical models can be used to develop and simulate
complex military strategies.
5. Tessellation is a never-ending pattern.
6. Wave is produced by a stream or river swinging from side to side as it flows across its floodplain or shifts its channel
within valley.
7. Symmetry is agreement in dimensions, due proportion and arrangement.
8. A one-to-one correspondence and may-to-one correspondence are called functions while one-to-many
correspondence is not.
9. Union is a set consists of all elements in the universal set that are not in the given set.
10. Intersection of the two sets denotes the elements that the sets have in common, or the “overlap” of the two sets.
11. Cardinality of the set is the number of distinct elements belonging to a finite set.
12. Function is a calculation involving two elements of the set to produce another element of the set.
13. Union of two sets denotes the elements that the sets have in common, or the overlap of two sets.
14. Universal set contains all the elements all the elements considered in a particular situation.
15. Complement of a set consists of all elements in the universal set that are not given in the given set.
 III. Enumerate
a. Characteristics of Language of Mathematics (3pts)
b. Patterns in Nature (7pts)
c. Enumerate the difference sets

GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS! ☺
