ASSIGNMENT 4
Galfo, Requilme and Roa
1. Critical Thinking (3 pts)

Given the sequence below, determine what comes next.
SSS – SCC – C – SC – SSSS - SSS – CSS - ?
Let S represent the straight line.
Let C represent the curved line.
Straight/Curved Lines Alphabets

SSS 3 straight lines A
SCC 1 straight line, 2 curve lines B
C 1 curve line C
SC 1 straight line, 1 curve line D
SSSS 4 straight lines E
SSS 3 straight lines F
SC 1 straight line, 1 curve line G
SSS 3 straight lines H
Therefore, SSS is the next 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
ASSIGNMENT 4

3x7
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
● ● ● ● ● ● ● 2 bounces
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
3x8
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 7 bounces

b. 3xn where n is odd 3xn where n is even
n 2 4 6 8
E(n) 1 3 5 7
n 1 3 5 7
O(n) 0 1 2
0(n) = n-3/2 E(n) = n-1
c. 3x15 3x16
15 = 15-3/2 = 12/2 = 6 16= 16-1 = 15

ASSIGNMENT 4
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.
LUKAS AMALLA DAGNY
“My two tiles are NOT “The product of my “My two tiles ARE
consecutive numbers” tiles is 12” consecutive
numbers”.
Possibility 1
1 2 3 4 5 6
LUKAS X X X X
AMALLA X X X X
DAGNY X X X X
- LUKAS’s tiles are 1 and 5

- AMALLA’s tiles are 2 and 6 which are the product of 12
- DAGNY’s tiles are 3 and 4
- This shows that Dagny have the tile 3 but have the product of 12 that should be only the tiles of
Amalla.
Possibility 2
1 2 3 4 5 6
LUKAS X X X X
AMALLA X X X X
DAGNY X X X X
- LUKAS has the tiles of 1 and 3 since they are not consecutives numbers.
- AMALLA has the tiles of 2 and 6 which are the product of 12.
- DAGNY has a tiles of 4 and 5 which are consecutive numbers.
Therefore, LUKAS have the tile 3

ASSIGNMENT 4
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.
*Since the equivalent of the second balanced scale

to the left is 16, we determine that the value of the
right side is 8 and gets the sum of 16 when added.
Therefore, the three shaded oval with a value of 8 each Is

equals to 24. The answer to the missing scale should be three
diamonds since they have the same value with the three
shaded ovals.
ASSIGNMENT 4
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?
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.
Answer: If the lily pads double in size every hour, they will cover the entire lake in 24 hours.
If you deduct 1 hour from 24 hours, the lily pads will be half their original size.

1. Critical Thinking (3 pts)

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

Let S represent the straight line.

Let C represent the curved line.

Straight/Curved Lines Alphabets

Therefore, SSS is the next sequence.

2. Bouncing Bullet (10 pts)

b. 3xn where n is odd 3xn where n is even

0(n) = n-3/2 E(n) = n-1

15 = 15-3/2 = 12/2 = 6 16= 16-1 = 15

3. Dynamic Thinking (3 pts)

LUKAS AMALLA DAGNY

- LUKAS’s tiles are 1 and 5

Therefore, LUKAS have the tile 3
