MATH101 Flashcards
_____It is the study of pattern and structure.
Mathematics
______It is the study of quantity.
Mathematics
_______These are regular, repeated, or recurring forms or design.
Patterns
______ a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion or an object is invariant to any various transformations (reflection rotation, or scaling).
Symmetry:
______a symmetry in which the left and right sides of the organism can be divided into approximately mirror image of each other along the midline.
Bilateral symmetry:
Ex: butterfly, seashells. Dapat pantay ang left ug right
Bilateral symmetry:
_______: a symmetry around a fixed point known as the center.
Radial Symmetry
Ex: starfish, snowflakes
Radial Symmetry
________ A curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as a whole.
Fractals:
Ex: branches of trees, animal circulatory systems, snowflakes, lightning and electricity, plants and leaves, geographic terrain and river systems, clouds, crystals.
Fractals:
______ it is a curved pattern that focuses on a centre point and a series of circular shapes that revolve around it.
Spirals:
Ex: Snail shells, flower petals, pine cones, snakes, storms, DNA, curly hair, even galaxies
Spirals:
_______: It is a pattern of numbers where a number is found by adding up two numbers before it.
Fibonacci Sequence
______ the sequence of numbers starting with 0 and 1, th sequence goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55…, and so forth, each of which, after the second, is the sum of the two previous numbers; that is, the nth Fibonacci number Fn = Fn − 1 + Fn − 2.
Fibonacci sequence,
The ______ can also be seen in the way tree branches form or split. A main trunk will grow until it produces a branch, which creates two growth points. Then, one of the new stems branches into two, while the other one lies dormant. This pattern of branching is repeated for each of the new stems.
Fibonacci sequence
TRUE OR FALSE: Finding the nth term in the Fibonacci Sequence using Binet’s Formula
Fn = φ^n/√5 , where n = nth term, φ = 1.618 (golden ration) √5 = 2.236
TRUE
The _____ , also known as the golden number, golden proportion, or the divine proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. Usually written as the Greek letter phi, it is strongly associated with the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers wherein each number is added to the last.
golden ratio
______: is a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols

10 divided 2 is less than 3.
2x + 7 = 13
5x < 9
Mathematical Sentences
______ – is a declarative sentence which can be regarded as true or false. To represent a statement, we use lower case letters p, q, and r.
Statement/Proposition
______ involve terms such as all, each, every, no, none, some, here exists, and at least one.
Quantified statements
_____, either include or exclude every element of the universal set. These includes all, each, every, no and none.
Universal Quantifiers
_____, claim the existence of something but don’t include the entire universal set. These are some, there exists, at least one.
Existential Quantifiers
The ______of a statement or proposition is a corresponding statement with the opposite truth value. This means that if a statement is true, its negation is false, and if a statement is false, its negation is true.
negation
The _____ of the propositions p and q is the compound statement “p and q.” denoted as 𝒑 ∧ 𝒒 which is true only when both p and q are true.
conjunction
