    Lesson 1. Inductive and Deductive Reasoning

    Highlights

    A. Explain the inductive approach of mathematical inference.

    Inductive reasoning makes broad generalizations from specific observations. It flows


    from observation to pattern, then hypothesis and lastly theory.

    B. Give an example of a situation where inductive reasoning is applied.

    You can use inductive reasoning to observe and predict using the past data. For
    example, in predicting the future population, you will need to observe the past
    population data.

    C. Explain the deductive approach of mathematical inference.

    Deductive reasoning makes conclusion from generalizations. From theory, you will
    make hypothesis, and from that you’ll conduct an observation, and lastly make a
    confirmation.

    D. Give an example of a situation where deductive reasoning is applied

    A deductive reasoning is applied when you need to prove a research or need to find
    a conclusion of the data gathered. For example, you’ve conducted research about
    how single mother employees spent their days after work. In order to get the
    conclusion you wanted, you will need to create a hypothesis then observe the data.

    Answer Week HW 4A

    Lesson 2. Tower of Hanoi Problem

    Highlights

    A. State the Tower of Hanoi Problem.

    The Tower of Hanoi asks for the minimum number of moves required to move the
    stack from one rod to another, where moves are allowed only if they place smaller
    disks on top of larger disks.

    B. At least how many moves are needed to solve the Tower of Hanoi problem with 4
    chips, 5 chips and 6 chips?

    According to the formula in finding the minimum number of moves, 2𝑛 − 1, where n


    is the number of disks.

    4 chips: 24 − 1 = 15 moves.

    5 chips: 25 − 1 = 31 moves.

    6 chips: 26 − 1 = 63 moves.

    C. Give a generalized solution to the Tower of Hanoi problem.

    The generalized solution for the Tower of Hanoi is 2𝑛 − 1, where n is the number of
    disks.

    Lesson 3. Problem-Solving Strategies

    Highlights

    A. Who is George Polya? What is his main contribution in Mathematics?

    George Polya is a Hungarian Mathematician who made seminal contributions to


    probability, combinational theory, and conflict analysis. He also made fundamental
    contributions to combinatorics, number theory, numerical analysis, and probability
    theory.

    B. Enumerate and describe the 4 phases of Polya’s method of solving a problem.

    Polya’s 4-step approach includes the following:

    1. Devise a plan. This is to use a variety of techniques in attempting to solve the


    problem.
    2. Carry out the plan. Perform each step of the plan with care and precision, while
    keeping a record of the results obtained. Once you get an affirmative result,
    then you can proceed to the next step. If not, you can use other alternative
    plans.
    3. Reviewing the solution. Finally, review your solution. Go back and check the
    original problem to see if the obtained solution is sufficient and consistent with
    what is asked. Check also the soundness of the argument and if the obtained
    solution still applies at a larger scale.
