Part I – QUIZ ON MATHEMATICAL SYSTEM:

Perform the following set of tests and write your answers on the answer sheet provided.

TASK 1 – Multiple Choice. (1 point each)

1. What do you call the logical structure composed of undefined terms, defined terms, definitions,
postulates, and theorems?
A. Mathematical Reasoning C. Mathematical System
B. Mathematical Investigation D. Mathematical Statement
2. These terms serve as bases to define other terms hence, these are the building blocks of other
mathematical terms.
A. Axioms B. Defined Terms C. Theorems D. Undefined Terms

3. Which of these statements does not need proof to be accepted as true?

A. An integer is a prime number.
B. A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides.
C. If you add two integers, the sum will have a bigger value.
D. The opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel.
4. Which of the following illustrates symmetric property/axiom?
A. a=a
B. If a=b , thenb=a .
C. a ∙ ( b+ c ) =( a ∙ b ) +(a ∙ c)
D. If a< b ,∧b <c ,then a< c.

5. Which of the following is not a part of a Mathematical System?

A. Expressions B. Axioms or Postulate C. Theorems D. Defined and Undefined Terms

TASK 2 – About Mathematical System. (2 points each)

TASK 4 – “What Axiom am I?” (2 points each)

Determine the Axiom for Real Numbers applied in the given situation.

1. Kendra has a debt to her Tita Tessy for loading her cellular phone number with a total of P150.00.
How much is her change if she pays her aunt P200.00?
Her change can be illustrated by this mathematical model:
Let c be the change she would get for paying her debt

150+c =200 ⇉ 150−150+c=200−150 ⇉ c=50

2. An employer needs to pay P500.00 to each of his 10 employees in one working day. If each of the
employees has additional P150.00 to be received, how much money shall the employer has to
dispense or distribute in total?

Apply this mathematical statement:

10 ( 500+150 ) =10 (500 )+ 10 (150 )=5000+1500=6500

This answer can also be obtained by adding 500 and 150, then multiplying the sum by 10,
500+150=650 then 10 ×650=6500.
