4TH QUARTER, SY2020-2021 GED 102 WEEK 4
Task List
Week 4 lessons are all about problem solving, reasoning and applications of
mathematics. The lessons aim to develop the skills and the requisite knowledge for
more practical approaches to real-life problems with emphasis on logical reasoning
and well thought-out solutions.
Keep track of your progress in this lesson by checking the box corresponding to each
task. (5 POINTS)

Lesson 1. Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Highlights
A. Explain the inductive approach of mathematical inference. (7 POINTS)
Inductive Approach in Mathematical Inference is started with observation, pattern,

followed by Hypothesis, and finally Theory. An inductive process is one that uses observations
to reach a conclusion. In geometry, inductive reasoning is used in a similar manner.
When looking at certain specific rectangles, one may see that the diagonals are congruent.
B. Give an example of a situation where inductive reasoning is applied. (8 POINTS)
3 and 5 are odd and 3 + 5 = 8 is even

7 and 11 are odd and 7 + 11 = 18 is even
Therefore, the sum of two odd numbers is even
C. Explain the deductive approach of mathematical inference. (7 POINTS)
Deductive approach of mathematical inference is simply started with Theory, followed

by Hypothesis, pattern and finally, Observation. Deductive reasoning, unlike inductive
reasoning, is a legitimate way of substantiating one's ideas. Proving theorems in the
Euclidean manner, that is, as geometric proofs, is, in fact, the standard method of doing so.
Using previously known information to draw inferences is known as "deductive reasoning."
D. Give an example of a situation where deductive reasoning is applied. (8 POINTS)
The Sum of two integers in an even number

A and B are odd numbers
So, A + B is even
Answer Week HW 4A
Lesson 2. Tower of Hanoi Problem
Highlights
A. State the Tower of Hanoi Problem. (6 POINTS)
To begin with, all the disks are arranged in order of size on a vertical rod
with the largest disk put on top. This issue has one aim: moving the stack of disks
from the starting rod to another rod, as long as certain criteria are obeyed.
It is impossible to put a smaller disk on top of a larger disk.
B. At least how many moves are needed to solve the Tower of Hanoi problem with 4
chips, 5 chips and 6 chips? (7 POINTS)
To move the 4 chips starting the rof to the ending rod 2^4-1 = 15
For 5 chips, 2^5-1 = 31 steps
For 6 chips, 2^6= 63 steps
C. Give a generalized solution to the Tower of Hanoi problem. (7 POINTS)
Since one chip acan be move at a time, each move should consist of taking the upper chip
from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack, it can be only move
to its uppermost chip on a stack. There is a rule that no larger chip may be replaced on top
of a smaller chip
If we will be transferring Stack A to Stack C, supposed to be there is an intermediate point B
We can use the B to move.

Moving the 1st chip from A to C, moving the 1st from A to B, Moving the first chip from C to B,
Moving the 1st chip from A to C, B to A, B to C and A to C
Lesson 3. Problem-Solving Strategies
Highlights
A. Who is George Polya? What is his main contribution in Mathematics?

(8 POINTS)
The main contribution of George Polya are the probability theory, number theory,
Theory of Functions, and the Calculus of Variations
B. Enumerate and describe the 4 phases of Polya’s method of solving a problem.

(12 POINTS)
Understand the Problem- consists of knowing what is the unknown, what are the data,
what is the condition, or what no know about the problem
Devise a Plan- will technically see how they attempt to solve a problem. Questions like
Have you seen it before? Do oyu know the related problem pattern? And questions like that
can be seen
Carry Out the Plan - This is the process or the procedure tiself. Keeping record of every
result is a must. It is the methodology of the whole problem.
Review the Solution - the reviewsing of solution is the final process.
