10. 1,4,9, 16, 25 36, 49, 64, 81, 100

B.Use inductive reasoning to decide whether the following is correct or not.

 11. The sum of any two even numbers is always an even counting number.

⮚ Set : 2n is an even number

2n + 2n = 4n

4n = 2n { 4n = 2n }
2 2

The sum of any two even numbers is always an even counting number.
{ 2n is an even number}

The given statement is correct.

12.The product of an odd counting number and an even counting number is always an even
counting number.

⮚ Odd number = 2n + 1

Even number = 2n

n is a integer

{ 2n + 1} 2n

4n2 , 2n are even number { 4n2 , 2n can aliquot 2}

{ 2n + 1 } 2n is even number

The given statement is correct.

13.The sum of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.

⮚ The sum of two odd numbers is always even.

5 + 5 ( Both are odd ) = 10 ( sum is even )

3 + 7 = 10 ( even )

7 + 11 = 18 ( even )

The given statement is Not Correct

 14.The product of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.

⮚ Assume the two odd numbers are 2n + 1 and 2m + 1

( 2n + 1 ) ( 2m + 1 ) = 4mn + 2 ( m + n ) +1

4mn + 2 ( m + n ) + 1 + 2 = 2mn + m + n + 1

The given statement is correct.

15.The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is always an odd number.

C.Use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture of the following:

Pick any counting number. Multiply by 6. Add 8 to the product. Divide the sum by 2.
Subtract 4 from the quotient.

⮚ My example counting number is 3.

⮚ Multiply 3 to 6.

⮚ Hence, the answer will be 18.

⮚ Add 8 to the product ,18+8 making it 26.

⮚ Divide by 2 by 26.

⮚ Making the quotient 13.

⮚ Subtract 4 from the quotient which is 13.

⮚ The resulting number is twice the original number, so 3×2 = 9. Match.

Choose any counting number. Multiply the number by 8. Subtract 4 from the product.
Divide the difference by 2. Add 2 to the quotient. The resulting number is four times the original
number.

⮚ Number 1 as a counting number.

⮚ Multiply 1 to 8.

⮚ Hence, the answer will be 8.

 ⮚ Subtract 4 from 8 making it 4.

⮚ Divide by 4 by 2.

⮚ Making the quotient 2.

⮚ Add 2 making it 4.

⮚ Then when multiplied to the original number 1, we get the final answer of 4.
