Chapter 4 Mathematical Reasoning (1) - 4A

- Farmer Taylor has two water tanks - a 100kL tank to collect water from his farmhouse roof and a 25kL tank to collect water from his barn roof. The farmhouse roof has a collecting area of 200 sqm and the barn roof an area of 80 sqm. - Currently there is 35kL in the farmhouse tank and 13kL in the barn tank. Rain is forecast. - To collect as much water as possible, Farmer Taylor should pump 10kL from the farmhouse tank (which has more storage capacity) into the barn tank before the rain.

Answer

4.2a Statements using All and Some


1. Quantifiers are words that denote the
number of objects or cases referred to in a
given statement.

Exercise 4.1a

2. The words all, any and ever are


quantifiers which illustrate that each and
every object or case satisfies the given
condition.
3. The words some, several, one of and
part of are quantifiers that illustrate that
not all but at least one object or case
satisfies the given condition.

Exercise 4.1b

Exercise 4.2a
1.Complete each of the following statements
using the quantifiers all or 'some' to make the
statement true.
(a) ________polygons have the sum of all me
exterior angles that equals 360.
(b) _______polygons have 15 sides.
(c) _______ numbers that can be divided
exactly by 2 are prime numbers.

2.

Based on the above Venn diagram, complete


255334428.doc

each of the following statements using the


quantifiers all or some to make the
statement:
(a) true
______ elements of H are elements of G.

(d) All factors of 2 are factors of 20.


(b) false
_______ elements of G are elements of H.

3. Determine whether the following statements


are true or false.
(a) All cubes of negative numbers are
negative.

(e) All multiples of 2 are multiples of 20.

(b) Some numbers divisible by 3 are prime


numbers.

(c) Some polygons have straight sides.


255334428.doc

(f) Some multiples of 2 are multiples of 20.

(g) Some factors of 2 are factors of 20.

3. The product of a whole number multiplied


by two is an even number.

4.2b Generalising Statements using All

4. Pyramid PQRST has 5 faces.

1 When a statement is generalised using the


quantifier all its truth value may change.
Example
(a) Even numbers are divisible by 2.
This statement can be generalised to All
even numbers are divisible by 2.
(b) Polygon ABC has 3 sides
This statement cannot be generalised to
All polygons have 3 sides.

5. Factors of 9 are factors of 18.

Exercise 4.2b
Determine whether each of the following
statements can be generalised using the
quantifier all without changing its truth value.
1. Rhombus ABCD has diagonals that bisect at
90.
6. Multiples of 9 are multiples of 18.

2. 8, an even number, is not divisible by 16.

4.2c Constructing True Statements using


All and Some
255334428.doc

Notes:a) All is used when each and every object


has the given property.
b) Some is used when several or at least
one object has the given property.

Exercise 4.2c
Write a true statement using the quantifiers 'all'
or 'some', given an object and a property.
1. Object: fraction
Property: has a numerator and a denominator

4. Object: polygons
Property: exterior angles add up to 360

2. Object: positive numbers


Property: integers

5. Object: multiples of 12
Property: multiples of 6

3. Object: equilateral triangle


Property: each interior angle equals 60

6. Object: factors of 4
Property: factors of 3

in the barn tank.
Rain is forecast and he wants to collect as
much water as possible. He should:
(a) empty the barn tank into the farmhouse
tank
(b) fill the barn tank from the farmhouse
tank
(c) pump 10 kL from the farmhouse tank
into the barn tank
(d) pump 10 kL from the barn tank into the
farmhouse tank
