MIP1502
Assignment 3 2023
Unique Number: 787060
Due Date: 04 July 2023
QUESTION 1

1.1.1.

The pattern is increasing by 5 each time. To find the 100th number, we can use the formula:

aᵣ = a₁ + (ᵣ - 1)d

where aᵣ is the term we want to find (the 100th term), a₁ is the first term (3), ᵣ is the position
number of the term we want to find (100), and d is the common difference (5).

Substituting the values, we get:

a₁₀₀ = 3 + (100 - 1)5

a₁₀₀ = 3 + 495

a₁₀₀ = 498

Therefore, the 100th number that Lize will count is 498.

QUESTION 1

1.1.1.

The pattern is increasing by 5 each time. To find the 100th number, we can use the formula:

aᵣ = a₁ + (ᵣ - 1)d

where aᵣ is the term we want to find (the 100th term), a₁ is the first term (3), ᵣ is the position
number of the term we want to find (100), and d is the common difference (5).

Substituting the values, we get:

a₁₀₀ = 3 + (100 - 1)5

a₁₀₀ = 3 + 495

a₁₀₀ = 498

Therefore, the 100th number that Lize will count is 498.

1.1.2.

No, Lize will not count 996. This can be determined by checking if 996 is a term in the
pattern. The common difference is 5 and the first term is 3. We can find the nth term using
the formula aᵣ = a₁ + (ᵣ - 1)d, where r is the position number of the term we want to find.

If we solve for n in aᵣ = 996, we get:

996 = 3 + (n - 1)(5)

993 = 5n - 5

199.6 = n

Since n is not a whole number, 996 is not a term in the pattern.

1.1.3.

To find the position number of 1003, we can use the same formula as earlier:

aᵣ = a₁ + (ᵣ - 1)d

We want to find the value of r when aᵣ = 1003. The common difference is still 5, and the
first term is 3. Substituting the values, we get:

1003 = 3 + (r - 1)(5)

1000 = 5(r - 1)

r - 1 = 200

r = 201

Therefore, the position number of 1003 is 201.

1.2

Seeing a pattern means that you identify a repeated structure or order in a set of numbers
or shapes. It allows you to make predictions about future numbers in a series and
understand the relationship between them.

1.3

Numerical patterns involve a sequence of numbers that follow a specific rule or pattern,
while geometrical patterns involve the repetition of shapes or designs in a certain way.

For example, the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... is a numerical pattern that increases by 2 each
time. A geometrical pattern could be a repeating tile design that forms a certain shape or
image.

1.4

Learning patterns in mathematics is important because it helps develop critical thinking

and problem-solving skills. When students are able to identify and understand patterns,
they can use that knowledge to make predictions, solve problems, and create their own
patterns. It also helps students see the relationships between numbers and shapes, which
can lead to a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

1.5

Three possible numerical expressions for 13 using the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4 are:

 4 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 13
 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 13
 4 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 13

Note: There are many possible expressions using these digits, but they must follow the
rules given in the question.
