INSTRUCTIONS: Write your answers on the space provided.
UNIVERSAL STATEMENT 1. It says that a certain property is true for all elements in a set.
EXISTENTIAL STATEMENT 2. It says that there is at least one thing for which the property is true.
CONDITIONAL STATEMENT 3. It says if one thing is true then some other thing also has to be true.
SET 4. It is a well-defined collection of distinct objects, usually numbers.
SEQUENCE 5. It is an ordered list of numbers, called terms that may have repeated value.
RELATION 6. Is any set of ordered-pair numbers.
FUNCTION 7. It can be defined as a rule that relates every element in one set,
DOMAIN 8. It is a set of all input or first values of a function
RANGE 9. It is a collection of all output or second values
VARIABLE 10. It is sometimes thought of as a mathematical “John Doe” because you can use it a
placeholder when you want to talk about something but either you imagine that is has one or more values
but you don’t know what they are.
II. TRUE OR FALSE (2 points each)
INSTRUCTIONS: Write T is the statement is true, and write the correct answer if the statement is false
and underline the word/s that makes the statement false.
UNIVERSAL 1. A statement is existential because it says that a certain property is true for all elements
in a set.
T 2. A statement is universal because its second part asserts the existence of something
PISA 3. Fibonacci sequence was named after an Italian mathematician Leonardo of Casa.

3. {8, 4}, {-9, 2}, {7, 1}, {0,-6}, {6,-5}, {2,-5}, {4,-7} =FUNCTION
VI. SUBSTITUTE THE GIVEN VALUES IN THE FORMULA A= PERT TO FIND THE
MISSING QUANTITY. (10 points each)
NOTE: use only the 3 digits after the decimal point
1. The population of the world in 1987 was 5000 and the relative growth rate was estimated 2% per
year. Assuming that the world population follows an exponential growth model, find the
projected world population in 1995.
WHERE
P=5000
R=0.02/2%
T=8
A=P e^(r)(t) 1995-1987= 8
A=5000 e^ (0.02) (8)
A=5000 e^ (0.16)
A=5000 (1.17351087099)
=5867.554
5867.554*1000= 5,867,554
Therefore, there are 5,867,554 world population in 1995.
2. The number of lilies in a certain pond is 20. It doubles the number every 24 hours in hundreds;
A. What is its growth rate?
WHERE:
P=20
T1=24 HOURS
R=?
A=2P
A= P e^(r)(t)
2(20) = 20e^(r)(24)
20 20
2=e^(r)(24)
ln2=lne
ln2=(24)r*1
ln2=(24)r
ln2=(24)r
24
ln2=r
24
0.02888113252=r
B. how many lilies will be there in 3 days?
WHERE:
P=20
T2= 72 HOURS
R=0.02888113252
A=2
A=P e^(r)(t)
A=20 e^(0.02888113252)(72)
A3days=20 e^(8.0)
A3days=20(2980.95798704)
=59619.160
59619.160*1000=59,619,160
Therefore, there are 59,619,160 lilies in 3 days.
VII. ESSAY (10 points each)
1. Why are numbers important in our life? Explain your answer.
Numbers are very important in our lives. Almost everything we do is based on
numbers and mathematics. Whether we like it or not, our lives have been governed
by numbers since the day we were born. Numerous numbers are directly or
indirectly related to our lives. From ancient times to the present, people have used
numbers for calculations and other purposes. Numbers are used everywhere, from
our ages to weighing things in the market. When we wake up, the first thing we do is
look at the clock, which contains numbers. And even when we buy something, such
as food, we use numbers. If there are no numbers, we will encounter numerous
challenges as all fields require them.
2. Identify and describe at least one pattern that you observe in your locality or within your nearby
environment.
Grid, the grid pattern can be found in building structural elements such as columns,
electrical distribution systems, and surveying methods. Grids are simple to
understand and manage because they are regular and systematic. They can also
provide you with a great deal of flexibility when confronted with a problem due to
the system's inherent redundancy.
3. Is math relevant during pandemic? Justify your answer.
Yes, math is relevant during pandemic as mathematical functions can be used to
describe the dynamics of how infectious diseases spread among humans.
Mathematical modeling creates a visual representation of the disease's dynamics in
the form of graphs, charts, and comparative tables. Several factors influence the
spread of infection from affected to unaffected people. The pathogen can be spread
through direct contact or through water, air, or surfaces containing the pathogen.
Furthermore, disease dynamics can be studied at various scales, including the
individual, small groups of people, and entire populations. Various models are
selected based on the complexity of the available data. In their modern avatar,
models are simulated by computers, which generate infection numbers and
distribution patterns. These equations can then be solved to determine how the
number of people infected changes over time. Occasionally, new categories are
added to the basic model. For example, an infected person who exhibits no
symptoms may form a new category. Additional factors, such as age, must
sometimes be taken into account. However, reality has many more levels of
complexity. People socialize and mix at random, which has a significant impact on
disease transmission. The basic model excludes critical aspects such as infection
progression, a person's susceptibility level, or demographic factors, necessitating the
development of more comprehensive models.
