Foundations of Math 11 Section 4.1 Patterns 167 4.1 Patterns We have stated in chapter 2 that patterns are widely used in mathematics to reach logical conclusions. This type of reasoning is called inductive reasoning. This section will expand inductive reasoning to not only mathematics, but everyday life reasoning. Remember, your conclusion may be, but is not necessarily, true. Example 1 Find the patterns. a) 1 1 = 1 11 11 = 121 111 111 = 12321 1111 1111 = 11111 11111 = b) 1 9 + 2 = 11 12 9 + 3 = 111 123 9 + 4 = 1234 9 + 5 = = Solution: a) 1234321, 123454321 b) 1111, 11111, 12345 9 + 6 = 111111 Example 2 Sixty-four teams enter the NCAA basketball championship. If a team loses, it is eliminated. How many games are played in the tournament? Solution: 32 +16 + +1 = 63 games Example 3 Draw the next shape in the pattern, and predict the number of pieces in the next two patterns. 3 pieces 9 pieces 18 pieces Solution: The next pattern would look like this: The next two patterns should have 30 and 45 pieces. 3 9 18 30 45 +6 +9 +12 +15

168 Chapter 4 Analyze Puzzles and Games Foundations of Math 11 Example 4 Find the next two numbers in the following patterns: a) 3, 6, 8, 16, 18, 36, 38,, b) 2, 4, 5, 10, 12, 24, 27,, Solution: a) 3, 6, 8, 16, 18, 36, 38, 76, 78 (Number of terms is multiplied by 2 then 2 is added) b) 2, 4, 5, 10, 12, 24, 27, 54, 58 (Number is multiplied by 2, then 1 is added, then multiplied by 2 and 2 is added, then multipled by 2 and 3 is aded, ) Example 5 Which number(s) in the last group are zuts? 3 81 48 36 27 108 2 13 25 10 17 32 19 43 30 93 Zuts Not zuts Which are zuts? Solution: Zuts are divisible by 3, thus 30 and 93 are zuts. Example 6 1 = 1 1+ 2 = 3 1+ 2 + 3 = 6 1+ 2 + 3+ 4 = 10 1+ 2 + 3+ +100 = 1+ 2 + 3+ + n = Solution: 1+ 2 + 3+ +100 = 1+100 = 101, 2 + 99 = 101, 3+ 98 = 101,,50+ 51 = 101 There are 50 groups of 101, thus 50 101 = 5050. 1+ 2 + 3+ + n = 1+ n,2+ (n 1), 3 + (n 2),(1+ n) = 1+ n,1+ n,1+ n,,1+ n (each pair adds to 1+ n, and there are n 2 pairs) The sum of n terms is n(n +1) 2.

Foundations of Math 11 Section 4.1 Patterns 169 4.1 Exercise Set 1. Study the pattern, and predict the missing values. a) 9 9 + 7 = 88 98 9 + 6 = 888 987 9 + 5 = 9876 9 + 4 = 98765 9 + 3 = b) 9 2 = 81 99 2 = 9 801 999 2 = 998 001 9999 2 = 99999 2 = c) 1 2 + 1 + 2 = 4 2 2 + 2 + 3 = 9 3 2 + 3 + 4 = 16 4 2 + 4 + 5 = 5 2 + 5 + 6 = d) 1 = 1 1+ 2 = 3 1+ 2 + 3 = 6 1+ 2 + 3+ 4 = 10 1+ 2 + 3+ +10 = e) 1 = 1 1+ 3 = 4 1+ 3+ 5 = 9 1+ 3+ 5+ +15 = f) 2 = 2 2 + 4 = 6 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 2 + 4 + +16 = g) 1 = 1 1+ 3 = 4 1+ 3+ 5 = 9 1+ 3+ 5+ 7 = 16 1+ 3+ 5+ + 59 = h) 2 = 2 2 + 4 = 6 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20 2 + 4 + 6 + + 60 = i) 1 + 9 0 = 1 2 + 9 1 = 11 3 + 9 12 = 4 + 9 123 = = 11111 j) 8 + 9 0 = 8 7 + 9 9 = 88 6 + 9 98 = 5 + 9 987 = =

174 Chapter 4 Analyze Puzzles and Games Foundations of Math 11 4.2 Inductive Reasoning When we reach conclusions by observing diagrams and figures, we are using inductive reasoning. We will use inductive reasoning to establish, if possible, a general equation for different patterns. Example 1 Predict the n th term of the pattern 3, 6, 12, 24, Solution: 1 st term 2 nd term 3 rd term 4 th term 3 6 12 24 3 2 3 2 6 2 12 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 3 The n th term is 3 2 n 1. Example 2 Predict the n th term of the pattern 2, 8, 14, 20, Solution: 1 st term 2 nd term 3 rd term 4 th term 2 8 14 20 2 2 + 6 2 + 12 2 + 18 2 2 + 6 2 + 2 6 2 + 3 6 The pattern has a constant increase of 6. The n th term is 2 + (n 1)6= 2 + 6n 6= 6n 4. Example 3 Predict the n th term of the pattern 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, Solution: 1 st term 2 nd term 3 rd term 4 th term 5 th term 6 th term 2 6 12 20 30 42 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 The pattern does not have a constant increase, thus the n th term is not linear. The n th term is n(n + 1).

Foundations of Math 11 Section 4.2 Inductive Reasoning 175 Example 4 A Lazy S has a vertical line drawn through it. Guess how many pieces will be formed............ 1 cut 4 pieces 2 cuts 7 pieces 3 cuts pieces 4 cuts pieces 100 cuts pieces n cuts pieces Solution: 3 cuts = 10 pieces 4 cuts = 13 pieces 100 cuts = 1 + 3 100 = 301 pieces n cuts = 3n + 1 piece Counterexample If a statement is found for which the assumption is wrong by showing an example is called a counterexample. To show something is not true, it is sufficient to show one example that is not true. It is possible that the conclusion you reach in a statement might be proved incorrect if a counterexample were found. Thus, we must be cautious about reaching conclusions by inductive reasoning. Example 1 If possible, find a counterexample for each of the following assumptions: a) Every prime number is odd. b) A triangle drawn from two corners of a rectangle is half the area of the rectangle. Solution: a) 2 is a prime number. b) True Not true Example 2 Solution: Multiplying leads to larger number. Multiplying by zero leads to zero. Multiplying by 1 leads to the same number. Multiplying by a number between 0 and 1 leads to a smaller number.

Foundations of Math 11 Section 4.3 Deductive Reasoning 181 4.3 Deductive Reasoning As stated in the last chapter, when doing two-column proofs, in deductive reasoning you arrive at conclusions from accepted facts. Each step in deductive reasoning represents a conclusion from the previous statement. If any statement has an error in it, the final conclusion is not correct. Here is an example of deductive reasoning. Premise All the planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Mars is a planet. Conclusion: Mars moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Premise If n is a prime number greater than 3, then (n 1)(n + 1) is divisible by 24. 47 is a prime number greater than 3. Conclusion: 2208 is divisible by 24. Draw a conclusion from the following: Premise All English teachers like to read. Sam does not like to read. Conclusion: Answer: Sam is not an English teacher. Premise If a quadrilateral is a square, it is a regular polygon. A regular polygon has all sides and angles equal. Conclusion: Answer: A square has all sides and angles equal.

182 Chapter 4 Analyze Puzzles and Games Foundations of Math 11 Write whether each statement is true or false. If false, show a counterexample. Premise Every even number divisible by 6 is divisible by 3. Solution: True. Premise A number greater than 12 is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. Solution: False. (18 is divisible by 2 and 3 but 18 is not divisible by 12.) What deduction, if possible, can be made about each person? Premise A person must be 16 years old to have a driver s license. a) Tom has a driver s license. b) Sue drives a car. c) Sally is 20 years old. d) Bill is 12 years old. e) Len does not drive a car. Solution: a) Tom is 16 years or older. b) Nothing; we cannot say definitively that Sue has a driver s license. c) Nothing. d) Bill does not have a driver s license. e) Nothing. Which one(s) of the following statements are true? Premise a) If two angles are right angles, then they are equal. b) If two angles are equal, then they are right angles. c) If two angles are not right angles, then they are not equal. d) If two angles are not equal, then they are not right angles. Solution: a) True. b) False; angles could be both 70. c) False; angles cold be both 30. d) True.

Foundations of Math 11 Section 4.3 Deductive Reasoning 183 4.3 Exercise Set 1. Tell whether each statement is true or false. If false, give a counterexample. a) If a triangle has two equal sides, then it has equal angles. b) All diagonals of a regular polygon are equal. c) If two triangles have equal perimeters, then they have equal sides. d) If the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, then they are equal. e) If x 2 > 0 then x > 0. f) The diagonals of an equilateral quadrilateral are perpendicular. g) The diameter is the axis of symmetry of a circle. h) A parallelogram can be formed from two equal triangles. i) A number is divisible by 4 if the last digit is divisible by 4. j) A number is divisible by 18 if it is an even number divisible by 9. k) A number is divisible by 12 if it is an even number divisible by 3. l) A number is divisible by 15 if it is an odd number divisible by 5.

192 Chapter 4 Analyze Puzzles and Games Foundations of Math 11 4.4 Puzzles and Games of Strategy The peculiar beauty of mathematics lies in deduction, in the dependency of one fact upon another. The less expected a dependency is, the simpler the facts on which the deduction is based the more beautiful the result. Alexander Bogomolny This section will show the beauty of both inductive and deductive reasoning in solving puzzles and games of strategy. Some of the questions are not very difficult, and some are very challenging. Do not look at the solution right away; allow your thought process to develop! Example 1 Put the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in the circles so that each edge adds up to the same number. Solution: There are many solutions to this problem. Here is one of them: 8 7 Put the three largest numbers in the 3 corners. The six remaining numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21, 7 + 8 = 15, 7 + 9 = 16, 8 + 9 = 17. 3 1 Thus, we must pick 3 pairs of numbers that differ in sums by one or 5 6 two; 6 + 7 + 8 = 21. Now, choose pairs from numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: 2 + 4 = 6, 1 + 6 = 7, 3 + 5 = 8. 2 4 9 Example 2 If this pattern continues, what is the last number in the 10 th row? Solution: 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10. First row has 1 number. Second row has 2 numbers. The last number in each row is the sum of how many numbers were in each row (e.g., 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10). Thus, the last number in the 10 th row is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + + 10 = 55.
