MATHEMATICAL REASONING

1 a Complete the following statement using the quantifier all or some to make it a false
statement.
__________________ even numbers are multiple of 2

b Write down Premise 2 to complete the following argument.

Premise 1 : If m > 8, then m 5 > 3
Premise 2 : _______________________________________
Conclusion : 6 5 < 3

c Make a general conclusion by induction for the sequence of numbers which follws the
following pattern.
2
7 = 8(1) - 1
2
30 = 8(2) - 2
2
69 = 8(3) - 3

d Write down two implications based on the following statement

M N = N if and only if M N

2 a State whwther the following statement is true or false

Some prime numbers are odd numbers

b Write down Premise 2 to complete the following argument.

Premise 1 : If a number is divesible by 5, then it is divisible by 10
Premise 2 : _______________________________________
Conclusion : 5023 is not divisible by 5
c Based on the information below, make a general conclusion by induction regarding the
sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides.

0
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon with 3 sides is (3-2) X 180
0
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon with 4 sides is (4-2) X 180
0
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon with 5 sides is (5-2) X 180

d Write down two implications based on the following statement

PQR is an isosceles triangle if and only if PQ = PR

3 a State whether the following statement is true or false
2
-3 > 4 and 4 = 8

b Complete the conclusion in the following argument

Premis 1 : All regular pentagons have 5 equal sides

Premis 2 : PQRST is a regular pentagon
Conclusion : ____________________________________

c Make a general conclusion by induction for the set of numbers 4, 7, 10, 13 ,in the
following pattern.
4 = 3(1) +- 1
7 = 3(2) +- 1
10 = 3(3) +- 1
13 = 3(4) +- 1

4 a State whether each of the following statement is true or false

(i) -3 X 2 = 6 and 9 = -3
(ii) 2 is an even number or = 75 minutes

b Write down Premise 2 to complete the following argument.

Premise 1 : If x is multiple of 5, then 5 is a factor of x .
Premise 2 : _______________________________________
Conclusion : 5 is a factor of 10

c Write down two implications based on the following statement

m 2 = 7 if and only if m = 9
