The patch doubles in size every hour. If it takes 1 day (24 hours) to cover the entire lake, then it would take half a day (12 hours) to cover half the lake.

Assignment 5

Condino and Sigaya

1. Critical Thinking (3 pts)


Given the sequence below, determine what comes next.

SSS – SCC – C – SC – SSSS - SSS – CSS - ?

Let S be a Straight line and C as Curve line.

A = SSS
B = SCC
C=C
D = SC
E = SSSS
F = SSS
G = CSS
H = SSS

Therefore, SSS is the next answer in the sequence.

2. Bouncing Bullet (10 pts)


Problem:
Consider a 3-by-n matrix of dots and a bullet with a property that it bounces back from the
border with
mirror symmetry (45 degrees). Starting from the bottom-left dot, fire a bullet and count the
number of
times it bounces back before reaching a corner dot.
Tasks:
a. Explore the cases of 3-by-5, 3-by-6, 3-by-7, and 3-by-8. Provide an illustration for each
case.
b. Find the nth-term formula for the given sequence. Hint: Separate the case for even and
odd values of
n.
c. Then, use the formula to determine the number of times the bullet will bounce back for 3-
by-15 and
3-by-16.

a) 3x5

1 bounce
3x6
5 bounces

3x7
2 bounces

3x8
7 bounces

B) 3xn where n is odd


n 1 3 5 7

O(n) 0 1 3

3xn where n is even

n 2 4 6 8
O(n) 1 3 6 7

c. 3x15
15 = 15-3/2 = 12/2 = 6

3x16
16= 16-1 = 15

3. Dynamic Thinking (3 pts)


Six tiles numbered 1 to 6 are distributed among three students. The number of tiles each
student has is unknown. We only know the following information. Who could possibly have
the tile 3? Discuss your reasoning.

Possibility 1

- Since the tiles of Lukas are not consecutive therefore his tiles are 1 and 5
- Since Amella’s tiles is 12 when you multiply it, so Amalla’s tiles are 2 and 6.
-Since the tiles of Dagny are consecutive numbers therefore his tiles are 3 and 4.
- Dagny has the tile 3, but there are also possibility that the tile 3 is Amalla’s tile because if
you multiply 3 and 4 the product is 12.

Possibility 2

- Sinve Lukas tiles are not consecutive he can take tile 1 and 3.
- Since Amella’s tiles is 12 when you multiply it, so Amalla’s tiles are 2 and 6.
- Since the tiles of Dagny are consecutive numbers therefore his tiles are 4 and 5.

Therefore there is a high possibility that Lukas has the tile 3.


4. Problem Solving on Balancing Scales (5 pts)
Determine the figures to be placed on “?” to balance the scale. Use the information from the
first three balanced scales. Provide a justification.

By determining it, we labeled the value of each of the given shapes.

7 + 3 = 10 2 + 6 + 2 = 10
8 + 2 + 6 = 16 8 + 8 = 16

6 + 3 + 7 = 16 8 + 8 = 16

8 + 8 + 8 = 24 8 + 8 + 8 =24

5. Problem Solving on Geometry and Measurement (4 pts)


A bowl of negligible thickness is in the shape of a truncated circular cone, with height 4
in and upper and lower radii of 9 in and 6 in, respectively. What is the volume of the
bowl?

Given: r1 = 9 in
r2 = 6 in
h = 12
Find: V
Bonus (2 pts.): In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads with special property. Every hour,
the patch doubles in size. If it takes one day for the patch to cover the entire lake,
how long would it take the patch to cover half of the lake? Discuss.
