National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Principles for School Mathematics • EQUITY. Excellence in mathematics education requires equity — high expectations and strong support for all students. • CURRICULUM. A curriculum is more than a collection of activities: it must be coherent, focused on important mathematics, and well articulated across the grades. • TEACHING. Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well.

• LEARNING. Students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge. • ASSESSMENT. Assessment should support the learning of important mathematics and furnish useful information to both teachers and students. • TECHNOLOGY. Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning.

About the Authors GARY L. MUSSER is Professor Emeritus from Oregon State University. He earned both his B.S. in Mathematics Education in 1961 and his M.S. in Mathematics in 1963 at the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. in Mathematics (Radical Theory) in 1970 at the University of Miami in Florida. He taught at the junior and senior high, junior college, college, and university levels for more than 30 years. He served his last 24 years teaching prospective teachers in the Department of Mathematics at Oregon State University. While at OSU, Dr. Musser developed the mathematics component of the elementary teacher program. Soon after Professor William F. Burger joined the OSU Department of Mathematics in a similar capacity, the two of them began to write the first edition of this book. Professor Burger passed away during the preparation of the second edition, and Professor Blake E. Peterson was hired at OSU as his replacement. Professor Peterson joined Professor Musser as a coauthor beginning with the fifth edition. Professor Musser has published 40 papers in many journals, including the Pacific Journal of Mathematics, Canadian Journal of Mathematics, The Mathematics Association of America Monthly, the NCTM’s The Mathematics Teacher, the NCTM’s The Arithmetic Teacher, School Science and Mathematics, The Oregon Mathematics Teacher, and The Computing Teacher. In addition, he is a coauthor of two other college mathematics books: College Geometry—A Problem-Solving Approach with Applications (2008) and A Mathematical View of Our World (2007). He also coauthored the K–8 series Mathematics in Action. He has given more than 65 invited lectures/workshops at a variety of conferences, including NCTM and MAA conferences, and was awarded 15 federal, state, and local grants to improve the teaching of mathematics. While Professor Musser was at OSU, he was awarded the university’s prestigious College of Science Carter Award for Teaching. He is currently living in sunny Las Vegas, where he continues to write, ponder the mysteries of the stock market, and entertain both his wife and his faithful yellow lab, Zoey. BLAKE E. PETERSON is currently a Professor in the Department of Mathematics Education at Brigham Young University. He was born and raised in Logan, Utah, where he graduated from Logan High School. Before completing his B.A. in secondary mathematics education at Utah State University, he spent two years in Japan as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. After graduation, he took his new wife, Shauna, to southern California, where he taught and coached at Chino High School for two years. In 1988, he began graduate school at Washington State University, where he later completed a M.S. and Ph.D. in pure mathematics. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Peterson was hired as a mathematics educator in the Department of Mathematics at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, where he taught for three years. It was at OSU that he met Gary Musser. He has since moved his wife and four children to Provo, Utah, to assume his position at Brigham Young University where he is currently a full professor. As a professor, his first love is teaching, for which he has received a College Teaching Award in the College of Science. Dr. Peterson has published papers in Rocky Mountain Mathematics Journal, The American Mathematical Monthly, The Mathematical Gazette, Mathematics Magazine, The New England Mathematics Journal, and The Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education as well as NCTM’s Mathematics Teacher, and Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. After studying mathematics student teachers at a Japanese junior high school, he implemented some elements he observed into the student teaching structure at BYU. In addition to teaching, research, and writing, Dr. Peterson has done consulting for the College Board, founded the Utah Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, is on the editorial panel for the Mathematics Teacher, and is the associate chair of the department of mathematics education at BYU. Aside from his academic interests, Dr. Peterson enjoys spending time with his family, fulfilling his church responsibilities, playing basketball, mountain biking, water skiing, and working in the yard.

About the Cover The checkered figure on the cover, which is called Costa’s minimal surface, was discovered in 1982 by Celso Costa. It is studied in the field of mathematics called differential geometry. There are many different fields of mathematics and in each field there are different tools used to solve problems. Particularly difficult problems, however, may require reaching from one field of mathematics into another to find the tools to solve it. One such problem was posed in 1904 by Henri Poincaré and is in a branch of mathematics called topology. The problem, stated as a conjecture, is that the three-sphere is the only compact threemanifold which has the property that each simple closed curve can be contracted. While this conjecture is likely not understandable to one not well versed in topology, the story surrounding its eventual proof is quite interesting. This conjecture, stated in three dimensions, had several proof attempts in the early 1900s that were initially thought to be true only to be proven false later. In 1960, Stephen Smale proved an equivalent conjecture for dimensions 5 and higher. For this he received the Fields medal for it in 1966. The Fields medal is the equivalent of the Nobel prize for mathematics and to receive it, the recipient must be 40 years of age or younger. The medal is awarded every 4 years to between two and four mathematicians. In 1983, Michael Freedman proved the equivalent conjecture for the 4th dimension and he also received a Fields Medal in 1986. In 2003, Grigory “Grisha” Perelman of St. Petersburg, Russia, claimed to have proved the Poincaré conjecture as stated for three-dimensions when he posted three short papers on the internet. These postings were followed by a series of lectures in the United States discussing the papers. Typically, a proof like this would be carefully written and submitted to a prestigious journal for peer review. The brevity of these papers left the rest of the mathematics community wondering if the proof was correct. As other

vi

mathematicians have filled in the gaps, their resulting papers (3 in total) were about 1000 pages long of dense mathematics. One of the creative aspects of Perelman’s proof is the tools that he used. He reached beyond the field of topology into the field of differential geometry and used a tool called a Ricci flow. In August of 2006, Dr. Perelman was awarded the Fields medal along with three other mathematicians. However, he did not attend the awards ceremony in Spain and declined to accept the medal along with its $13,400 stipend. In the 70-year history of the Fields medal, there have only been 48 recipients of the award and none have refused it before Perelman. His colleagues indicate that he is only interested in knowledge and not in awards or money. Such an attitude is even more remarkable when you consider the $1,000,000 award that is also available for proving the Poincaré conjecture. In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, identified seven historic, unsolved mathematics problems that they would offer a $1 million prize for the proof of each. The Poincaré conjecture is one of those 7 historic unsolved problems. Each proof requires a verification period before the prize would be awarded. As of this writing, it is unknown if Dr. Perelman would accept the $1 million prize. There is one other interesting twist to this story. Because of the brevity of Perelman’s proofs, other mathematicians filled in some details. In particular, two Chinese mathematicians, Professors Cao and Zhu, wrote a paper on this subject entitled “A Complete Proof of the Poincaré and Geometrization Conjectures—Application of the Hamilton-Perelman Theory of Ricci Flow”. This paper was 327 pages long! But what about the $1,000,000? If you are interested, search the internet periodically to see if Perelman accepts all or part of the $1,000,000. The image on the cover was created by Miao Jin, Junho Kim and Xianfeng David Gu.

Preface elcome to the study of the foundations of elementary school mathematics. We hope you will find your studies enlightening, useful, and fun. We salute you for choosing teaching as a profession and hope that your experiences with this book will help prepare you to be the best possible teacher of mathematics that you can be. We have presented this elementary mathematics material from a variety of perspectives so that you will be better equipped to address the broad range of learning styles that you will encounter in your future students. This book also encourages prospective teachers to gain the ability to do the mathematics of elementary school and to understand the underlying concepts so they will be able to assist their students, in turn, to gain a deep understanding of mathematics. We have also sought to present this material in a manner consistent with the recommendations in (1) The Mathematical Education of Teachers prepared by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences; and (2) the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and Curriculum Focal Points. In addition, we have received valuable advice from many of our colleagues around the United States through questionnaires, reviews, focus groups, and personal communications. We have taken great care to respect this advice and to ensure that the content of the book has mathematical integrity and is accessible and helpful to the variety of students who will use it. As always, we look forward to hearing from you about your experiences with our text.

Unique Content Features Number Systems The order in which we present the number systems in this book is unique and most relevant to elementary school teachers. The topics are covered to parallel their evolution historically and their development in the elementary/middle school curriculum. Fractions and integers are treated separately as an extension of the whole numbers. Then rational numbers can be treated at a brisk pace as extensions of both fractions (by adjoining their opposites) and integers (by adjoining their appropriate quotients) since students have a mastery of the concepts of reciprocals from fractions (and quotients) and opposites from integers from preceding chapters. Longtime users of this book have commented to us that this whole numbers-fractions-integers-rationals-reals approach is clearly superior to the seemingly more efficient sequence of whole numbers-integers-rationals-reals that is more appropriate to use when teaching high school mathematics.

Approach to Geometry Geometry is organized from the point of view of the five-level van Hiele model of a child’s development in geometry. After studying shapes and measurement, geometry is approached more formally through Euclidean congruence and similarity, coordinates, and transformations. The Epilogue provides an eclectic approach by solving geometry problems using a variety of techniques.

Preface

Additional Topics

• •

Topic 1, “Elementary Logic,” may be used anywhere in a course. Topic 2, “Clock Arithmetic: A Mathematical System,” uses the concepts of opposite and reciprocal and hence may be most instructive after Chapter 6, “Fractions,” and Chapter 8, “Integers,” have been completed. This section also contains an introduction to modular arithmetic.

Underlying Themes Problem Solving An extensive collection of problem-solving strategies is developed throughout the book; these strategies can be applied to a generous supply of problems in the exercise/problem sets. The depth of problem-solving coverage can be varied by the number of strategies selected throughout the book and by the problems assigned.

Deductive Reasoning The use of deduction is promoted throughout the book. The approach is gradual, with later chapters having more multistep problems. In particular, the last sections of Chapters 14, 15, and 16 and the Epilogue offer a rich source of interesting theorems and problems in geometry. Technology Various forms of technology are an integral part of society and can enrich the mathematical understanding of students when used appropriately. Thus, calculators and their capabilities (long division with remainders, fraction calculations, and more) are introduced throughout the book within the body of the text. In addition, the book companion Web site has eManipulatives, spreadsheets, and sketches from Geometer’s Sketchpad®. The eManipulatives are electronic versions of the manipulatives commonly used in the elementary classroom, such as the geoboard, base ten blocks, black and red chips, and pattern blocks. The spreadsheets contain dynamic representations of functions, statistics, and probability simulations. The sketches in Geometer’s Sketchpad® are dynamic representations of geometric relationships that allow exploration. Exercises and problems that involve eManipulatives, spreadsheets, and Geometer’s Sketchpad® sketches have been integrated into the problem sets throughout the text.

Course Options We recognize that the structure of the mathematics for elementary teachers course will vary depending upon the college or university. Thus, we have organized this text so that it may be adapted to accommodate these differences. Basic course: Chapters 1–7 Basic course with logic: Topic 1, Chapters 1–7 Basic course with informal geometry: Chapters 1–7, 12. Basic course with introduction to geometry and measurement: Chapters 1–7, 12, 13

Summary of Changes to the Eighth Edition

• • •

Exercise sets have been revised and enriched, where necessary, to assure that they are closely aligned with and provide complete coverage of the section material. In addition, the exercises are in matched pairs between Part A and Part B. New problems have been added and Problems for Writing/Discussion at the end of the sections in the Seventh Edition have been appended to the end of the problem sets. All Spotlights in Technology that were in Seventh Edition, other than those involving calculators, have been converted to exercises or problems.

Sections 10.2 and 10.3 have been interchanged. NCTM’s “Curriculum Focal Points” are listed at the beginning of the book and cited in each chapter introduction. A set of problems based on the NCTM Standards and Focal Points has been added to the end of each section. Several changes have been made in the body of the text throughout the book based on recommendations of our reviewers. New Mathematical Morsels have been added where appropriate. The Table of Contents now includes a listing of resources on the Web site. Topic 3, “Introduction to Graph Theory,” has been moved to our Web site. Complete reference lists for both Reflections from Research and Children’s Literature are located in the Web site.

Pedagogy The general organization of the book was motivated by the following mathematics learning cube:

Applications Problem solving Understanding

Goal of Mathematics Instruction

Skill Knowledge START

Concrete Pictorial Abstract Measurement Number systems Geometry

The three dimensions of the cube—cognitive levels, representational levels, and mathematical content—are integrated throughout the textual material as well as in the problem sets and chapter tests. Problem sets are organized into exercises (to support knowledge, skill, and understanding) and problems (to support problems solving and applications). We have developed new pedagogical features to implement and reinforce the goals discussed above and to address the many challenges in the course.

Preface

Key Features Problem-Solving Strategies are integrated throughout the book. Six strategies are introduced in Chapter 1. The last strategy in the strategy box at the top of the second page of each chapter after Chapter One contains a new strategy.

Problem-Solving Strategies 1. Guess and Test

STRATEGY

3. Use a Variable 4. Look for a Pattern 5. Make a List 6. Solve a Simpler Problem 7. Draw a Diagram 8. Use Direct Reasoning

One’s point of view or interpretation of a problem can often change a seemingly difficult problem into one that is easily solvable. One way to solve the next problem is by drawing a picture or, perhaps, by actually finding some representative blocks to try various combinations. On the other hand, another approach is to see whether the problem can be restated in an equivalent form, say, using numbers. Then if the equivalent problem can be solved, the solution can be interpreted to yield an answer to the original problem.

9. Use Indirect Reasoning 10. Use Properties of Numbers 11. Solve an Equivalent Problem

Following recess, the 1000 students of Wilson School lined up for the following activity: The first student opened all of the 1000 lockers in the school. The second student closed all lockers with even numbers. The third student “changed” all lockers that were numbered with multiples of 3 by closing those that were open and opening those that were closed. The fourth student changed each locker whose number was a multiple of 4, and so on. After all 1000 students had entered completed the activity, which lockers were open? Why?

section. These Starting Points can be used in a variety of ways. First, they can be used by an instructor at the beginning of class to have students engage in some novel thinking and/or discussion about forthcoming material. Second, they can be used in small groups where students discuss the query presented. Third, they can be used as an advanced organizer homework piece where a class begins with a discussion of what individual students have discovered.

Technology Problems appear in the Exercise/Problem sets through the book. 8. Using the Chapter 6 eManipulative activity Dividing Fractions on our Web site, construct representations of the following division problems. Sketch each representation. a. 74 , 12 b. 34 , 23 c. 214 , 58

These problems rely on and are enriched by the use of technology. The technology used includes activities from the eManipulatives (virtual manipulatives), spreadsheets, Geometer’s Sketchpad®, and the TI-34 II calculator. Most of these technological resources can be accessed through the accompanying book companion Web site.

8. The Chapter 11 dynamic spreadsheet Roll the Dice on our Web site simulates the rolling of 2 dice and computing the sum. Use this spreadsheet to simulate rolling a pair of dice 100 times and find the experimental probability for the events in parts a–e. a. The sum is even. b. The sum is not 10. c. The sum is a prime. d. The sum is less than 9. e. The sum is not less than 9. f. Repeat parts a–e with 500 rolls.

17. The Chapter 12 Geometer’s Sketchpad® activity Name That Quadrilateral on our Web site displays seven different quadrilaterals in the shape of a square. However, each quadrilateral is constructed with different properties. Some have right angles, some have congruent sides, and some have parallel sides. By dragging each of the points on each of the quadrilaterals, you can determine the most general name of each quadrilateral. Name all seven of the quadrilaterals.

Student Page Snapshots have been updated. Each chapter has a page from an elementary school textbook relevant to the material being studied.

22. The fraction 12 18 is simplified on a fraction calculator and the result is 23. Explain how this result can be used to find the GCF(12, 18). Use this method to find the following. a. GCF(72, 168) b. GCF(234, 442)

Exercise/Problem Sets are separated into Part A (all answers are provided in the back of the book and all solutions are provided in our supplement Hints and Solutions for Part A Problems) and Part B (answers are only provided in the Instructors Resource Manual). In addition, exercises and problems are distinguished so that students can learn how they differ. Problems for Writing/Discussion have been integrated into the problem sets throughout the book and are designated by a writing icon. They are also included as part of the chapter review.

Preface

Problems Relating to the NCTM Standards and Curriculum Focal Points 1. The Focal Points for Grade 3 state “Developing an understanding of and fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions and decimals.” Based on the discussions in this section, explain at least one main concept essential to understanding addition and subtraction of fractions. 2. The NCTM Standards state “All students use visual models, benchmarks, and equivalent forms to add and subtract commonly used fractions and decimals.” Explain what is

meant by “visual models” when adding and subtracting fractions. 3. The NCTM Standards state “All students should develop and use strategies to estimate computations involving fractions and decimals in situations relevant to students’ experience.” List and explain some examples of strategies to estimate fraction computations.

Problems from the NCTM Standards and Curriculum Focal Points To further help students understand and be aware of these documents from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, new problems have been added at the end of every section. These problems ask students to connect the mathematics being learned from the book with the K–8 mathematics outlined by NCTM.

Reflections from Research Extensive research has been done in the mathematics education community that focuses on the teaching and learning of elementary mathematics. Many important quotations from research are given in the margins to support the content nearby.

FOCUS ON

Famous Unsolved Problems

umber theory provides a rich source of intriguing problems. Interestingly, many problems in number theory are easily understood, but still have never been solved. Most of these problems are statements or conjectures that have never been proven right or wrong. The most famous “unsolved” problem, known as Fermat’s Last Theorem, is named after Pierre de Fermat who is pictured below. It states “There are no nonzero whole numbn cn, for n a whole number bers a, b, c, where an greater than two.”

N

Fermat left a note in the margin of a book saying that he did not have room to write up a proof of what is now called Fermat’s Last Theorem. However, it remained an unsolved problem for over 350 years because mathematicians were unable to prove it. In 1993, Andrew Wiles, an English mathematician on the Princeton faculty, presented a “proof ” at a conference at Cambridge University. However, there was a hole in his proof. Happily, Wiles and Richard Taylor produced a valid proof in 1995, which followed from work done by Serre, Mazur, and Ribet beginning in 1985.

Reflection from Research Given the proper experiences, children as young as eight and nine years of age can learn to comfortably use letters to represent unknown values and can operate on representations involving letters and numbers while fully realizing that they did not know the values of the unknowns (Carraher, Schliemann, Brizuela, & Earnest, 2006).

Historical vignettes open each chapter and introduce ideas and concepts central to each chapter.

The following list contains several such problems that are still unsolved. If you can solve any of them, you will surely become famous, at least among mathematicians. 1. Goldbach’s conjecture. Every even number greater than 4 can be expressed as the sum of two odd primes. For example, 6 3 3, 8 3 5, 10 5 5, 12 5 7, and so on. It is interesting to note that if Goldbach’s conjecture is true, then every odd number greater than 7 can be written as the sum of three odd primes. 2. Twin prime conjecture. There is an infinite number of pairs of primes whose difference is two. For example, (3, 5), (5, 7), and (11, 13) are such prime pairs. Notice that 3, 5, and 7 are three prime numbers where 5 3 2 and 7 5 2. It can easily be shown that this is the only such triple of primes. 3. Odd perfect number conjecture. There is no odd perfect number; that is, there is no odd number that is the sum of its proper factors. For example, 6 1 2 3; hence 6 is a perfect number. It has been shown that the even perfect numbers are all of the form 2 p 1 (2p 1), where 2 p 1 is a prime. 4. Ulam’s conjecture. If a nonzero whole number is even, divide it by 2. If a nonzero whole number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. If this process is applied repeatedly to each answer, eventually you will arrive at 1. For example, the number 7 yields this sequence of numbers: 7, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. Interestingly, there is a whole number less than 30 that requires at least 100 steps before it arrives at 1. It can be seen that 2n requires n steps to arrive at 1. Hence one can find numbers with as many steps (finitely many) as one wishes.

Mathematical Morsels end every section with an interesting historical tidbit. One of our students referred to these as a reward for completing the section.

MATHEMATIC AL MORSEL The University of Oregon football team has developed quite a wardrobe. Most football teams have two different uniforms: one for home games and one for away games. The University of Oregon team will have as many as 384 different uniform combinations from which to choose. Rather than the usual light and dark jerseys, they have 4 different colored jerseys: white, yellow, green, and black. Beyond that, however, they have 4 different colored pants, 4 different colored pairs of socks, 2 different colored pairs of shoes and 2 different colored helmets with a 3rd one on the way. If all color combinations are allowed, the fundamental counting principle would suggest that they have 4 ⫻ 4 ⫻ 4 ⫻ 2 ⫻ 3 ⫽ 384 possible uniform combinations. Whether a uniform consisting of a green helmet, black jersey, yellow pants, white socks and black shoes would look stylish is debatable.

Preface

People in Mathematics John Von Neumann (1903–1957) John von Neumann was one of the most remarkable mathematicians of the twentieth century. His logical power was legendary. It is said that during and after World War II the U.S. government reached many scientific decisions simply by asking von Neumann for his opinion. Paul Halmos, his one-time assistant, said, “The most spectacular thing about Johnny was not his power as a mathematician, which was great, but his rapidity; he was very, very fast. And like the modern computer, which doesn’t memorize logarithms, but computes them, Johnny didn’t bother to memorize things. He computed them.” Appropriately, von Neu-

Julia Bowman Robinson (1919–1985) Julia Bowman Robinson spent her early years in Arizona, near Phoenix. She said that one of her earliest memories was of arranging pebbles in the shadow of a giant saguaro—”I’ve always had a basic liking for the natural numbers.” In 1948, Robinson earned her doctorate in mathematics at Berkeley; she went on to contribute to the solution of “Hilbert’s tenth problem.” In 1975 she became the first woman mathematician elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences. Robinson also served as president of the American Mathematical Society, the main professional organization for research mathematicians. “Rather than

Introduction to Problem Solving

FOCUS ON

CHAPTER

1

George Pólya—The Father of Modern Problem Solving

eorge Pólya was born in Hungary in 1887. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Budapest. In 1940 he came to Brown University and then joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1942.

G

In his studies, he became interested in the process of discovery, which led to his famous four-step process for solving problems: 1. Understand the problem. 2. Devise a plan. 3. Carry out the plan. 4. Look back. Pólya wrote over 250 mathematical papers and three books that promote problem solving. His most famous

book, How to Solve It, which has been translated into 15 languages, introduced his four-step approach together with heuristics, or strategies, which are helpful in solving problems. Other important works by Pólya are Mathematical Discovery, Volumes 1 and 2, and Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning, Volumes 1 and 2. He died in 1985, leaving mathematics with the important legacy of teaching problem solving. His “Ten Commandments for Teachers” are as follows: 1. Be interested in your subject. 2. Know your subject. 3. Try to read the faces of your students; try to see their expectations and difficulties; put yourself in their place. 4. Realize that the best way to learn anything is to discover it by yourself. 5. Give your students not only information, but also know-how, mental attitudes, the habit of methodical work. 6. Let them learn guessing. 7. Let them learn proving. 8. Look out for such features of the problem at hand as may be useful in solving the problems to come—try to disclose the general pattern that lies behind the present concrete situation. 9. Do not give away your whole secret at once—let the students guess before you tell it—let them find out by themselves as much as is feasible. 10. Suggest; do not force information down their throats.

Problem-Solving Strategies 1. Guess and Test 2. Draw a Picture 3. Use a Variable 4. Look for a Pattern 5. Make a List

Because problem solving is the main goal of mathematics, this chapter introduces the six strategies listed in the Problem-Solving Strategies box that are helpful in solving problems. Then, at the beginning of each chapter, an initial problem is posed that can be solved by using the strategy introduced in that chapter. As you move through this book, the ProblemSolving Strategies boxes at the beginning of each chapter expand, as should your ability to solve problems.

The Problem-Solving Process and Strategies

3

INTRODUCTION nce, at an informal meeting, a social scientist asked of a mathematics professor, “What’s the main goal of teaching mathematics?” The reply was, “Problem solving.” In return, the mathematician asked, “What is the main goal of teaching the social sciences?” Once more the answer was “Problem solving.” All successful engineers, scientists, social scientists, lawyers, accountants, doctors, business managers, and so on have to be good problem solvers. Although the problems that people encounter may be very diverse, there are common elements and an underlying structure that can help to facilitate problem solving. Because of the universal importance of problem solving, the main professional group in mathematics education, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), recommended in its 1980 An Agenda for Action that “problem solving be the focus of school mathematics in the 1980s.” The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ 1989 Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics called for increased attention to the teaching of problem solving in K–8 mathematics. Areas of emphasis include word problems, applications, patterns and relationships, open-ended problems, and problem situations represented verbally, numerically, graphically, geometrically, or symbolically. The NCTM’s 2000 Principles and Standards for School Mathematics identified problem solving as one of the processes by which all mathematics should be taught. This chapter introduces a problem-solving process together with six strategies that will aid you in solving problems.

Children’s Literature www.wiley.com/college/musser See “The Math Curse” by Jon Sciezke.

Pólya’s Four Steps In this book we often distinguish between “exercises” and “problems.” Unfortunately, the distinction cannot be made precise. To solve an exercise, one applies a routine procedure to arrive at an answer. To solve a problem, one has to pause, reflect, and perhaps take some original step never taken before to arrive at a solution. This need for some sort of creative step on the solver’s part, however minor, is what distinguishes a problem from an exercise. To a young child, finding 3 ⫹ 2 might be a problem, whereas it is a fact for you. For a child in the early grades, the question “How do you divide 96 pencils equally among 16 children?” might pose a problem, but for you it suggests the exercise “find 96 ⫼ 16.” These two examples illustrate how the distinction between an exercise and a problem can vary, since it depends on the state of mind of the person who is to solve it. Doing exercises is a very valuable aid in learning mathematics. Exercises help you to learn concepts, properties, procedures, and so on, which you can then apply when solving problems. This chapter provides an introduction to the process of problem solving. The techniques that you learn in this chapter should help you to become a better problem solver and should show you how to help others develop their problem-solving skills. A famous mathematician, George Pólya, devoted much of his teaching to helping students become better problem solvers. His major contribution is what has become known as Pólya’s four-step process for solving problems.

Reflection from Research

Step 1

Many children believe that the answer to a word problem can always be found by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing two numbers. Little thought is given to understanding the context of the problem (Verschaffel, De Corte, & Vierstraete, 1999).

• • • • • • •

Do you understand all the words? Can you restate the problem in your own words? Do you know what is given? Do you know what the goal is? Is there enough information? Is there extraneous information? Is this problem similar to another problem you have solved?

Step 2 Developing Algebraic Reasoning www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Mathematizing.”

Understand the Problem

Devise a Plan

Can one of the following strategies (heuristics) be used? (A strategy is defined as an artful means to an end.) 1. Guess and test. 2. Draw a picture. 3. Use a variable. 4. Look for a pattern. 5. Make a list. 6. Solve a simpler problem. 7. Draw a diagram. 8. Use direct reasoning. 9. Use indirect reasoning. 10. Use properties of numbers. 11. Solve an equivalent problem.

12. Work backward. 13. Use cases. 14. Solve an equation. 15. Look for a formula. 16. Do a simulation. 17. Use a model. 18. Use dimensional analysis. 19. Identify subgoals. 20. Use coordinates. 21. Use symmetry.

The first six strategies are discussed in this chapter; the others are introduced in subsequent chapters.

Step 3

• • •

Implement the strategy or strategies that you have chosen until the problem is solved or until a new course of action is suggested. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time in which to solve the problem. If you are not successful, seek hints from others or put the problem aside for a while. (You may have a flash of insight when you least expect it!) Do not be afraid of starting over. Often, a fresh start and a new strategy will lead to success.

Carry Out the Plan

Look Back

Is your solution correct? Does your answer satisfy the statement of the problem? Can you see an easier solution? Can you see how you can extend your solution to a more general case?

Usually, a problem is stated in words, either orally or written. Then, to solve the problem, one translates the words into an equivalent problem using mathematical symbols, solves this equivalent problem, and then interprets the answer. This process is summarized in Figure 1.1.

Reflection from Research Researchers suggest that teachers think aloud when solving problems for the first time in front of the class. In so doing, teachers will be modeling successful problemsolving behaviors for their students (Schoenfeld, 1985).

NCTM Standard Instructional programs should enable all students to apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.

Learning to utilize Pólya’s four steps and the diagram in Figure 1.1 are first steps in becoming a good problem solver. In particular, the “Devise a Plan” step is very important. In this chapter and throughout the book, you will learn the strategies listed under the “Devise a Plan” step, which in turn help you decide how to proceed to solve problems. However, selecting an appropriate strategy is critical! As we worked with students who were successful problem solvers, we asked them to share “clues” that they observed in statements of problems that helped them select appropriate strategies. Their clues are listed after each corresponding strategy. Thus, in addition to learning how to use the various strategies herein, these clues can help you decide when to select an appropriate strategy or combination of strategies. Problem solving is as much an art as it is a science. Therefore, you will find that with experience you will develop a feeling for when to use one strategy over another by recognizing certain clues, perhaps subconsciously. Also, you will find that some problems may be solved in several ways using different strategies. In summary, this initial material on problem solving is a foundation for your success in problem solving. Review this material on Pólya’s four steps as well as the strategies and clues as you continue to develop your expertise in solving problems.

Problem-Solving Strategies The remainder of this chapter is devoted to introducing several problem-solving strategies.

Strategy 1

Guess and Test

Problem Place the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the circles in Figure 1.2 so that the sum of the three numbers on each side of the triangle is 12. We will solve the problem in three ways to illustrate three different approaches to the Guess and Test strategy. As its name suggests, to use the Guess and Test strategy, you guess at a solution and test whether you are correct. If you are incorrect, you refine your guess and test again. This process is repeated until you obtain a solution.

Figure 1.2

Step 1


Each number must be used exactly one time when arranging the numbers in the triangle. The sum of the three numbers on each side must be 12.

First Approach: Random Guess and Test Step 2

Devise a Plan

Tear off six pieces of paper and mark the numbers 1 through 6 on them and then try combinations until one works.

Step 3

Carry Out the Plan

Arrange the pieces of paper in the shape of an equilateral triangle and check sums. Keep rearranging until three sums of 12 are found.

Second Approach: Systematic Guess and Test Step 2

Devise a Plan

Rather than randomly moving the numbers around, begin by placing the smallest numbers—namely, 1, 2, 3—in the corners. If that does not work, try increasing the numbers to 1, 2, 4, and so on.

Step 3

1 11

11

Carry Out the Plan

With 1, 2, 3 in the corners, the side sums are too small; similarly with 1, 2, 4. Try 1, 2, 5 and 1, 2, 6. The side sums are still too small. Next try 2, 3, 4, then 2, 3, 5, and so on, until a solution is found. One also could begin with 4, 5, 6 in the corners, then try 3, 4, 5, and so on.

Third Approach: Inferential Guess and Test Step 2

Figure 1.3

Devise a Plan

Start by assuming that 1 must be in a corner and explore the consequences. 2 10

Figure 1.4

Step 3 10

Carry Out the Plan

If 1 is placed in a corner, we must find two pairs out of the remaining five numbers whose sum is 11 (Figure 1.3). However, out of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, only 6 ⫹ 5 ⫽ 11. Thus, we conclude that 1 cannot be in a corner. If 2 is in a corner, there must be two pairs left that add to 10 (Figure 1.4). But only 6 ⫹ 4 ⫽ 10. Therefore, 2

cannot be in a corner. Finally, suppose that 3 is in a corner. Then we must satisfy Figure 1.5. However, only 5 ⫹ 4 ⫽ 9 of the remaining numbers. Thus, if there is a solution, 4, 5, and 6 will have to be in the corners (Figure 1.6). By placing 1 between 5 and 6, 2 between 4 and 6, and 3 between 4 and 5, we have a solution.

Look Back

Notice how we have solved this problem in three different ways using Guess and Test. Random Guess and Test is often used to get started, but it is easy to lose track of the various trials. Systematic Guess and Test is better because you develop a scheme to ensure that you have tested all possibilities. Generally, Inferential Guess and Test is superior to both of the previous methods because it usually saves time and provides more information regarding possible solutions.

Figure 1.6 NCTM Standard Instructional programs should enable all students to monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.

Additional Problems Where the Strategy “Guess and Test” Is Useful 1. In the following cryptarithm—that is, a collection of words where the letters represent numbers—sun and fun represent two three-digit numbers, and swim is their four-digit sum. Using all of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 in place of the letters where no letter represents two different digits, determine the value of each letter. sun + fun swim

Step 1


Each of the letters in sun, fun, and swim must be replaced with the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9, so that a correct sum results after each letter is replaced with its associated digit. When the letter n is replaced by one of the digits, then n ⫹ n must be m or 10 ⫹ m, where the 1 in the 10 is carried to the tens column. Since 1 ⫹ 1 ⫽ 2, 3 ⫹ 3 ⫽ 6, and 6 ⫹ 6 ⫽ 12, there are three possibilities for n, namely, 1, 3, or 6. Now we can try various combinations in an attempt to obtain the correct sum.

Step 2

Devise a Plan

Use Inferential Guess and Test. There are three choices for n. Observe that sun and fun are three-digit numbers and that swim is a four-digit number. Thus we have to carry when we add s and f. Therefore, the value for s in swim is 1. This limits the choices of n to 3 or 6.

Step 3

Carry Ot the Plan

Since s ⫽ 1 and s ⫹ f leads to a two-digit number, f must be 9. Thus there are two possibilities: (a)

1u3 + 9u3 1wi6

(b)

1u6 + 9u6 1wi2

In (a), if u ⫽ 0, 2, or 7, there is no value possible for i among the remaining digits. In (b), if u ⫽ 3, then u ⫹ u plus the carry from 6 ⫹ 6 yields i ⫽ 7. This leaves w ⫽ 0 for a solution.

Look Back

The reasoning used here shows that there is one and only one solution to this problem. When solving problems of this type, one could randomly substitute digits until a solution is found. However, Inferential Guess and Test simplifies the solution process by looking for unique aspects of the problem. Here the natural places to start are n ⫹ n, u ⫹ u, and the fact that s ⫹ f yields a two-digit number. 2. Use four 4s and some of the symbols ⫹, ⫻, ⫺, ⫼, ( ) to give expressions for the whole numbers from 0 through 9: for example, 5 ⫽ (4 ⫻ 4 ⫹ 4) ⫼ 4. 3. For each shape in Figure 1.7, make one straight cut so that each of the two pieces of the shape can be rearranged to form a square. (NOTE: Answers for these problems are given after the Solution of the Initial Problem near the end of this chapter.) Figure 1.7

CLUES The Guess and Test strategy may be appropriate when

• • • • • •

There is a limited number of possible answers to test. You want to gain a better understanding of the problem. You have a good idea of what the answer is. You can systematically try possible answers. Your choices have been narrowed down by the use of other strategies. There is no other obvious strategy to try.

Review the preceding three problems to see how these clues may have helped you select the Guess and Test strategy to solve these problems.

Strategy 2 Reflection from Research Training children in the process of using pictures to solve problems results in more improved problem-solving performance than training students in any other strategy (Yancey, Thompson, & Yancey, 1989).

Draw a Picture

Often problems involve physical situations. In these situations, drawing a picture can help you better understand the problem so that you can formulate a plan to solve the problem. As you proceed to solve the following “pizza” problem, see whether you can visualize the solution without looking at any pictures first. Then work through the given solution using pictures to see how helpful they can be.

Problem Can you cut a pizza into 11 pieces with four straight cuts?

Step 1


Do the pieces have to be the same size and shape?

Step 2

Devise a Plan

An obvious beginning would be to draw a picture showing how a pizza is usually cut and to count the pieces. If we do not get 11, we have to try something else (Figure 1.8). Unfortunately, we get only eight pieces this way. NCTM Standard All students should describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric patterns.

Look Back

Were you concerned about cutting equal pieces when you started? That is normal. In the context of cutting a pizza, the focus is usually on trying to cut equal pieces rather than the number of pieces. Suppose that circular cuts were allowed. Does it matter whether the pizza is circular or is square? How many pieces can you get with five straight cuts? n straight cuts?

Additional Problems Where the Strategy “Draw a Picture” Is Useful Not a tetromino

1. A tetromino is a shape made up of four squares where the squares must be joined along an entire side (Figure 1.10). How many different tetromino shapes are possible?

A tetromino

The solution of this problem is easier if we make a set of pictures of all possible arrangements of four squares of the same size.

Look Back

Many similar problems can be posed using fewer or more squares. The problems become much more complex as the number of squares increases. Also, new problems can be posed using patterns of equilateral triangles. 2. If you have a chain saw with a bar 18 inches long, determine whether a 16-foot log, 8 inches in diameter, can be cut into 4-foot pieces by making only two cuts. 3. It takes 64 cubes to fill a cubical box that has no top. How many cubes are not touching a side or the bottom?

CLUES The Draw a Picture strategy may be appropriate when

• • • •

A physical situation is involved. Geometric figures or measurements are involved. You want to gain a better understanding of the problem. A visual representation of the problem is possible.

Review the preceding three problems to see how these clues may have helped you select the Draw a Picture strategy to solve these problems. NCTM Standard All students should represent the idea of a variable as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol.

Strategy 3

Use a Variable

Observe how letters were used in place of numbers in the previous “sun ⫹ fun ⫽ swim” cryptarithm. Letters used in place of numbers are called variables or unknowns. The Use a Variable strategy, which is one of the most useful problem-solving strategies, is used extensively in algebra and in mathematics that involves algebra.

Developing Algebraic Reasoning

Problem

www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Variable.”

What is the greatest number that evenly divides the sum of any three consecutive whole numbers? By trying several examples, you might guess that 3 is the greatest such number. However, it is necessary to use a variable to account for all possible instances of three consecutive numbers.

Reflection from Research Given the proper experiences, children as young as eight and nine years of age can learn to comfortably use letters to represent unknown values and can operate on representations involving letters and numbers while fully realizing that they did not know the values of the unknowns (Carraher, Schliemann, Brizuela, & Earnest, 2006).

Step 1


The whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , so that consecutive whole numbers differ by 1. Thus an example of three consecutive whole numbers is the triple 3, 4, and 5. The sum of three consecutive whole numbers has a factor of 3 if 3 multiplied by another whole number produces the given sum. In the example of 3, 4, and 5, the sum is 12 and 3 ⫻ 4 equals 12. Thus 3 ⫹ 4 ⫹ 5 has a factor of 3.

Step 2

Devise a Plan

Since we can use a variable, say x, to represent any whole number, we can represent every triple of consecutive whole numbers as follows: x, x ⫹ 1, x ⫹ 2. Now we can proceed to see whether the sum has a factor of 3.

Step 3

Carry Out the Plan

The sum of x, x ⫹ 1, and x ⫹ 2 is x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 3x + 3 = 3(x + 1).

c01.qxd

9/13/07

Chapter 1

Page 12


Thus x ⫹ (x ⫹ 1) ⫹ (x ⫹ 2) is three times x ⫹ 1. Therefore, we have shown that the sum of any three consecutive whole numbers has a factor of 3. The case of x ⫽ 0 shows that 3 is the greatest such number.

Step 4

Look Back

Is it also true that the sum of any five consecutive whole numbers has a factor of 5? Or, more generally, will the sum of any n consecutive whole numbers have a factor of n? Can you think of any other generalizations?

Additional Problems Where the Strategy “Use a Variable” Is Useful 1. Find the sum of the first 10, 100, and 500 counting numbers.

Step 1


Since counting numbers are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , the sum of the first 10 counting numbers would be 1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3 ⫹ . . . ⫹ 8 ⫹ 9 ⫹ 10. Similarly, the sum of the first 100 counting numbers would be 1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3 ⫹ . . . ⫹ 98 ⫹ 99 ⫹ 100 and the sum of the first 500 counting numbers would be 1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3 ⫹ . . . 498 ⫹ 499 ⫹ 500.

Step 2

Rather than solve three different problems, the “Use a Variable” strategy can be used to find a general method for computing the sum in all three situations. Thus, the sum of the first n counting numbers would be expressed as 1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3 ⫹ . . . ⫹ (n ⫺ 2) ⫹ (n ⫺ 1) ⫹ n. The sum of these numbers can be found by noticing that the first number 1 added to the last number n is n ⫹ 1, which is the same as (n ⫺ 1) ⫹ 2 and (n ⫺ 2) ⫹ 3. Adding up all such pairs can be done by adding up all of the numbers twice.

Step 3

Carry Out the Plan

Reflection from Research “Students’ problem-solving performance was highly correlated with their problemposing performance.” Compared to less successful problem solvers, good problem solvers generated problems that were more mathematical, and their problems were more mathematically complex (Silver & Cai, 1996).

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + (n - 2) + (n - 1) + n + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + . . . + 3 + 2 + 1 (n + 1) + (n + 1) + (n + 1) + . . . + (n + 1) + (n + 1) + (n + 1) = n # (n + 1) Since each number was added twice, the desired sum is obtained by dividing n 䡠 (n ⫹ 1) by 2 which yields 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + (n - 2) + (n - 1) + n =

n # (n + 1) 2

The numbers 10, 100, and 500 can now replace the variable n to find our desired solutions: 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 8 + 9 + 10 =

10 # (10 + 1) = 55 2

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 98 + 99 + 100 =

100 # (101) = 5050 2

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . 498 + 499 + 500 =

500 # 501 = 125,250 2

Look Back

Since the method for solving this problem is quite unique could it be used to solve other similar looking problems like: i. 3 ⫹ 6 ⫹ 9 ⫹ . . . ⫹ (3n ⫺ 6) ⫹ (3n ⫺ 3) ⫹ 3n ii. 21 ⫹ 25 ⫹ 29 ⫹ . . . ⫹ 113 ⫹ 117 ⫹ 121 2.

The measure of the third angle is equal to the difference of the largest and the smallest. What are the measures of the angles? (Recall that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180⬚.)

CLUES The Use a Variable strategy may be appropriate when

• • • • • • • •

A phrase similar to “for any number” is present or implied. A problem suggests an equation. A proof or a general solution is required. A problem contains phrases such as “consecutive,” “even,” or “odd” whole numbers. There is a large number of cases. There is an unknown quantity related to known quantities. There is an infinite number of numbers involved. You are trying to develop a general formula.

Review the preceding three problems to see how these clues may have helped you select the Use a Variable strategy to solve these problems.

Using Algebra to Solve Problems

NCTM Standard All students should develop an initial conceptual understanding of different uses of variables.

To effectively employ the Use a Variable strategy, students need to have a clear understanding of what a variable is and how to write and simplify equations containing variables. This subsection addresses these issues in an elementary introduction to algebra. There will be an expanded treatment of solving equations and inequalities in Chapter 9 after the real number system has been developed. A common way to introduce the use of variables is to find a general formula for a pattern of numbers such as 3, 6, 9, . . . 3n. One of the challenges for students is to see the role that each number plays in the expression. For example, the pattern 5, 8, 11, . . . is similar to the previous pattern, but it is more difficult to see that each term is two greater than a multiple of 3 and, thus, can be expressed in general as 3n ⫹ 2. Sometimes it is easier for students to use a variable to generalize a geometric pattern such as the one shown in the following example. This type of example may be used to introduce seventh-grade students to the concept of a variable. Following are four typical student solutions.

Example 1.1

Describe at least four different ways to count the dots in Figure 1.11.

S O LU T I O N The obvious method of solution is to count the dots—there are 16. Another student’s method is illustrated in Figure 1.12. Figure 1.11

4 * 3 + 4 f ¡ 4 * (5 - 2) + 4

Figure 1.12

The student counts the number of interior dots on each side, 3, and multiplies by the number of sides, 4, and then adds the dots in the corners, 4. This method generates the expression 4 ⫻ 3 ⫹ 4 ⫽ 16. A second way to write this expression is 4 ⫻ (5 ⫺ 2) ⫹ 4 ⫽ 16 since the 3 interior dots can be determined by subtracting the two corners from the 5 dots on a side. Both of these methods are shown in Figure 1.12. A third method is to count all of the dots on a side, 5, and multiply by the number of sides. Four must then be subtracted because each corner has been counted twice, once for each side it belongs to. This method is illustrated in Figure 1.13 and generates the expression shown.

4 * 5 - 4 = 166 ¡

Figure 1.13 Reflection from Research Sixth-grade students with no formal instruction in algebra are “generally able to solve problems involving specific cases and showed remarkable ability to generalize the problem situations and to write equations using variables. However they rarely used their equations to solve related problems” (Swafford & Langrall, 2000).

In the two previous methods, either corner dots are not counted (so they must be added on) or they are counted twice (so they must be subtracted to avoid double counting). The following fourth method assigns each corner to only one side (Figure 1.14).

4 * 4 = 16 s ¡ 4 * (5 - 1) = 16

Figure 1.14

Thus, we encircle 4 dots on each side and multiply by the number of sides. This yields the expression 4 ⫻ 4 ⫽ 16. Because the 4 dots on each side come from the 5 total dots on a side minus 1 corner, this expression could also be written as 4 ⫻ (5 ⫺ 1) ⫽ 16 (see Figure 1.14). ■

There are many different methods for counting the dots in the previous example and each method has a geometric interpretation as well as a corresponding arithmetic expression. Could these methods be generalized to 50, 100, 1000 or even n dots on a side? The next example discusses how these generalizations can be viewed as well as displays the generalized solutions of seventh-grade students. = n dots

Suppose the square arrangement of dots in Example 1.1 had n dots on each side. Write an algebraic expression that would describe the total number of dots in such a figure (Figure 1.15).

Example 1.2

Figure 1.15

S O LU T I O N It is easier to write a general expression for those in Example 1.1 when you understand the origins of the numbers in each expression. In all such cases, there will be 4 corners and 4 sides, so the values that represent corners and sides will stay fixed at 4. On the other hand, in Figure 1.15, any value that was determined based on the number of dots on the side will have to reflect the value of n. Thus, the expressions that represent the total number of dots on a square figure with n dots on a side are generalized as shown next.

4 * 3 + 4 f ¡ 4(n - 2) + 4 4 * (5 - 2) + 4

Connection to Algebra In algebra, the letter “x” is most commonly used for a variable. However, any letter (even Greek letters, for example) can be used as a variable.

Developing Algebraic Reasoning www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Variable” and “Equations.”

Connection to Algebra Variable is a central concept in algebra. Students may struggle with the idea that the letter x represents many numbers in y ⫽ 3x ⫹ 4 but only one or two numbers in other situations. For example, the solution of the equation x2 ⫽ 9 consists of the numbers 3 and ⫺3 since each of these numbers squared is 9. This means, that the equation is true whenever x ⫽ 3 or x ⫽ ⫺3.

4 * 5 - 4

¡ 4n - 4

4 * 4 f 4 * (5 - 1)

¡ 4(n - 1)

■

Since each expression on the right represents the total number of dots in Figure 1.15, they are all equal to each other. Using properties of numbers and equations, each equation can be rewritten as the same expression. Learning to simplify expressions and equations with variables is one of the most important processes in mathematics. Traditionally, this topic has represented a substantial portion of an entire course in introductory algebra. An equation is a sentence involving numbers, or symbols representing numbers where the verb is equals (⫽). There are various types of equations: 3 + 4 = 7 3 + 4 = 9 2x + 5x = 7x x + 4 = 9

True equation False equation Identity equation Conditional equation

A true or false equation needs no explanation, but an identity equation is always true no matter what numerical value is used for x. A conditional equation is an equation that is only true for certain values of x. For example, the equation x ⫹ 4 ⫽ 9 is true when x ⫽ 5, but false when x is any other value. In this chapter, we will restrict the variables to only whole numbers. For a conditional equation, a value of the variable that makes the equation true is called the solution. To solve an equation means to find all of the solutions. The following example shows three different ways to solve equations of the form ax ⫹ b ⫽ c.

Example 1.3

Suppose the square arrangement of dots in Example 1.2 had 84 total dots (Figure 1.16). How many dots are there

on each side? Reflection from Research Even 6-year-olds can solve algebraic equations when they are rewritten as a story problem, logic puzzle, or some other problem with meaning (Femiano, 2003).

— 84 total dots Figure 1.16 SOLUTION From Example 1.2, a square with n dots on a side has 4n ⫺ 4 total dots.

Thus, we have the equation 4n ⫺ 4 ⫽ 84. Three elementary methods that can be used to solve equations such as 4n ⫺ 4 ⫽ 84 are Guess and Test, Cover Up, and Work Backward.

Guess and Test As the name of this method suggests, one guesses values for the variable in the equation 4n ⫺ 4 ⫽ 84 and substitutes to see if a true equation results. Try n ⫽ 10: 4(10) ⫺ 4 ⫽ 36 ⫽ 84 Try n ⫽ 25: 4(25) ⫺ 4 ⫽ 96 ⫽ 84 Try n ⫽ 22: 4(22) ⫺ 4 ⫽ 84. Therefore, 22 is the solution of the equation.

Cover Up In this method, we cover up the term with the variable: ×4 22 ÷4 Figure 1.17

n - 4 = 84. To make a true equation, the n must be 88. Thus 4n = 88. Since 4 # 22 = 88, we have n = 22.

–4 84

88 +4

Work Backward The left side of the equation shows that n is multiplied by 4 and then 4 is subtracted to obtain 84. Thus, working backward, if we add 4 to 84 and divide by 4, we reach the value of n. Here 84 ⫹ 4 ⫽ 88 and 88⫼4 ⫽ 22 so n ⫽ 22 (Figure 1.17). ■

Strategy 4

Look for a Pattern

When using the Look for a Pattern strategy, one usually lists several specific instances of a problem and then looks to see whether a pattern emerges that suggests a solution to the entire problem. For example, consider the sums produced by adding consecutive odd numbers starting with 1: 1, 1 ⫹ 3 ⫽ 4 (⫽ 2 ⫻ 2), 1 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 5 ⫽ 9 (⫽ 3 ⫻ 3),

1 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 5 ⫹ 7 ⫽ 16 (⫽ 4 ⫻ 4), 1 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 5 ⫹ 7 ⫹ 9 ⫽ 25 (⫽ 5 ⫻ 5), and so on. Based on the pattern generated by these five examples, one might expect that such a sum will always be a perfect square. The justification of this pattern is suggested by the following figure.

1

1 + 3

1 + 3 + 5

1 + 3 + 5 + 7

Each consecutive odd number of dots can be added to the previous square arrangement to form another square. Thus, the sum of the first n odd numbers is n2. Generalizing patterns, however, must be done with caution because with a sequence of only 3 or 4 numbers, a case could be made for more than one pattern. For example, consider the sequence 1, 2, 4, . . . . What are the next 4 numbers in the sequence? It can be seen that 1 is doubled to get 2 and 2 is doubled to get 4. Following that pattern, the next four numbers would be 8, 16, 32, 64. If, however, it is noted that the difference between the first and second term is 1 and the difference between the second and third term is 2, then a case could be made that the difference is increasing by one. Thus, the next four terms would be 7, 11, 16, 22. Another case could be made for the differences alternating between 1 and 2. In that case, the next four terms would be 5, 7, 8, 10. Thus, from the initial three numbers of 1, 2, 4, at least three different patterns are possible:

A

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, . . . 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, . . . 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, . . . B

a point beneath the pair 1 and 2, the paths to 1 and 2 are extended downward, resulting in 1 ⫹ 2 ⫽ 3 paths to that point. The resulting number pattern is shown in Figure 1.21. Notice, for example, that 4 ⫹ 6 ⫽ 10 and 20 ⫹ 15 ⫽ 35. (This pattern is part of what is called Pascal’s triangle. It is used again in Chapter 11.) The surrounded portion of this pattern applies to the given problem; thus the answer to the problem is 20.

NCTM Standard All students should analyze how both repeating and growing patterns are generated.

Reflection from Research In classrooms where problem solving is valued, where instruction reflects the spirit of the Standards (NCTM, 1989), and where teachers have knowledge of children’s mathematical thinking, children perceive engaging in mathematics as a problemsolving endeavor in which communicating mathematical thinking is important (Franke & Carey, 1997).

A pattern of numbers arranged in a particular order is called a number sequence, and the individual numbers in the sequence are called terms of the sequence. The counting numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , give rise to many sequences. (An ellipsis, the three periods after the 4, means “and so on.”) Several sequences of counting numbers follow. SEQUENCE

NAME

2, 4, 6, 8, . . . 1, 3, 5, 7, . . . 1, 4, 9, 16, . . . 1, 3, 32, 33, . . . 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, . . .

The even (counting) numbers The odd (counting) numbers The square (counting) numbers The powers of three The Fibonacci sequence (after the two 1s, each term is the sum of the two preceding terms)

Inductive reasoning is used to draw conclusions or make predictions about a large collection of objects or numbers, based on a small representative subcollection. For example, inductive reasoning can be used to find the ones digit of the 400th term of the sequence 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, . . . . By continuing this sequence for a few more terms, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, . . . , one can observe that the ones digit of every fifth term starting with the term 24 is a four. Thus, the ones digit of the 400th term must be a four.

Additional Problems Where the Strategy “Look for a Pattern” Is Useful 1. Find the ones digit in 399.

Step 1


The number 399 is the product of 99 threes. Using the exponent key on one type of scientific calculator yields the result 1.71792506547 . This shows the first digit, but not the ones (last) digit, since the 47 indicates that there are 47 places to the right of the decimal. (See the discussion on scientific notation in Chapter 4 for further explanation.) Therefore, we will need to use another method.

Step 2

Devise a Plan 1

Consider 3 , 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. Perhaps the ones digits of these numbers form a pattern that can be used to predict the ones digit of 399.

Step 3

Carry Out the Plan

3 ⫽ 3, 3 ⫽ 9, 33 ⫽ 27, 34 ⫽ 81, 35 ⫽ 243, 36 ⫽ 729, 37 ⫽ 2187, 38 ⫽ 6561. The ones digits form the sequence 3, 9, 7, 1, 3, 9, 7, 1. Whenever the exponent of the 3 has a factor of 4, the ones digit is a 1. Since 100 has a factor of 4, 3100 must have a 1

ones digit of 1. Therefore, the ones digit of 399 must be 7, since 399 precedes 3100 and 7 precedes 1 in the sequence 3, 9, 7, 1.

Step 4

Ones digits of other numbers involving exponents might be found in a similar fashion. Check this for several of the numbers from 4 to 9. 2. Which whole numbers, from 1 to 50, have an odd number of factors? For example, 15 has 1, 3, 5, and 15 as factors, and hence has an even number of factors: four. 3.

A list of data is given. A sequence of numbers is involved. Listing special cases helps you deal with complex problems. You are asked to make a prediction or generalization. Information can be expressed and viewed in an organized manner, such as in a table.

Review the preceding three problems to see how these clues may have helped you select the Look for a Pattern strategy to solve these problems. Reflection from Research Problem-solving abililty develops with age, but the relative difficulty inherent in each problem is grade independent (Christou & Philippou, 1998).

Strategy 5

Make a List

The Make a List strategy is often combined with the Look for a Pattern strategy to suggest a solution to a problem. For example, here is a list of all the squares of the numbers 1 to 20 with their ones digits in boldface. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400 The pattern in this list can be used to see that the ones digits of squares must be one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9. This list suggests that a perfect square can never end in a 2, 3, 7, or 8.

Problem The number 10 can be expressed as the sum of four odd numbers in three ways: (i) 10 ⫽ 7 ⫹ 1 ⫹ 1 ⫹ 1, (ii) 10 ⫽ 5 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 1 ⫹ 1, and (iii) 10 ⫽ 3 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 1. In how many ways can 20 be expressed as the sum of eight odd numbers?

Step 1


Recall that the odd numbers are the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, . . . . Using the fact that 10 can be expressed as the sum of four odd numbers, we can form various combinations of those sums to obtain eight odd numbers whose sum is 20. But does this account for all possibilities?

Step 4

Correct answers are not a safe indicator of good thinking. Teachers must examine more than answers and must demand from students more than answers (Sowder, ThreadgillSowder, Moyer, & Moyer, 1983).

Could you have used the three sums to 10 to help find these 11 sums to 20? Can you think of similar problems to solve? For example, an easier one would be to express 8 as the sum of four odd numbers, and a more difficult one would be to express 40 as the sum of 16 odd numbers. We could also consider sums of even numbers, expressing 20 as the sum of six even numbers.

Assume that all three darts hit the board. Since there are four different numbers on the board, namely, 0, 1, 4, and 16, three of these numbers, with repetitions allowed, must be hit.

Solve a Simpler Problem

Like the Make a List strategy, the Solve a Simpler Problem strategy is frequently used in conjunction with the Look for a Pattern strategy. The Solve a Simpler Problem strategy involves reducing the size of the problem at hand and making it more manageable to solve. The simpler problem is then generalized to the original problem.

Problem In a group of nine coins, eight weigh the same and the ninth is heavier. Assume that the coins are identical in appearance. Using a pan balance, what is the smallest number of balancings needed to identify the heavy coin?

Step 1


Coins may be placed on both pans. If one side of the balance is lower than the other, that side contains the heavier coin. If a coin is placed in each pan and the pans balance, the heavier coin is in the remaining seven. We could continue in this way, but if we missed the heavier coin each time we tried two more coins, the last

Chapter 1

Page 26


coin would be the heavy one. This would require four balancings. Can we find the heavier coin in fewer balancings?

Step 2

Devise a Plan

To find a more efficient method, let’s examine the cases of three coins and five coins before moving to the case of nine coins.

Step 3 Figure 1.24

Figure 1.25

Figure 1.26

Carry Out the Plan

Three coins: Put one coin on each pan (Figure 1.24). If the pans balance, the third coin is the heavier one. If they don’t, the one in the lower pan is the heavier one. Thus, it only takes one balancing to find the heavier coin. Five coins: Put two coins on each pan (Figure 1.25). If the pans balance, the fifth coin is the heavier one. If they don’t, the heavier one is in the lower pan. Remove the two coins in the higher pan and put one of the two coins in the lower pan on the other pan. In this case, the lower pan will have the heavier coin. Thus, it takes at most two balancings to find the heavier coin. Nine coins: At this point, patterns should have been identified that will make this solution easier. In the three-coin problem, it was seen that a heavy coin can be found in a group of three as easily as it can in a group of two. From the five-coin problem, we know that by balancing groups of coins together, we could quickly reduce the number of coins that needed to be examined. These ideas are combined in the nine-coin problem by breaking the nine coins into three groups of three and balancing two groups against each other (Figure 1.26). In this first balancing, the group with the heavy coin is identified. Once the heavy coin has been narrowed to three choices, then the three-coin balancing described above can be used. The minimum number of balancings needed to locate the heavy coin out of a set of nine coins is two.

Step 4

Look Back

In solving this problem by using simpler problems, no numerical patterns emerged. However, patterns in the balancing process that could be repeated with a larger number of coins did emerge.

Combining Strategies to Solve Problems Reflection from Research The development of a disposition toward realistic mathematical modeling and interpreting of word problems should permeate the entire curriculum from the outset (Verschaffel & DeCorte,1997).

As shown in the previous four-step solution, it is often useful to employ several strategies to solve a problem. For example, in Section 1.1, a pizza problem similar to the following was posed: What is the maximum number of pieces you can cut a pizza into using four straight cuts? This question can be extended to the more general question: What is the maximum number of pieces you can cut a pizza into using n straight cuts? To answer this, consider the sequence in Figure 1.9: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11. To identify patterns in a sequence, observing how successive terms are related can be helpful. In this case, the second term of 2 can be obtained from the first term of 1 by either adding 1 or multiplying by 2. The third term, 4, can be obtained from the second term, 2, by adding 2 or multiplying by 2. Although multiplying by 2 appears to be a pattern, it fails as we

9/13/07

move from the third term to the fourth term. The fourth term can be found by adding 3 to the third term. Thus, the sequence appears to be the following: Sequence

Starting with 1 in the sequence, dropping down to the difference line, then back up to the number in the sequence line, we find the following: 1st term: 1 ⫽ 1 2nd Term: 2 ⫽ 1 ⫹ 1 3rd Term: 4 ⫽ 1 ⫹ (1 ⫹ 2) 4th Term: 7 ⫽ 1 ⫹ (1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3) 5th Term: 11 ⫽ 1 ⫹ (1 ⫹ 2 ⫹ 3 ⫹ 4), and so forth (n - 1)n . Thus, the nth 2 (n - 1)n . Notice that term in the sequence is 1 + 31 + 2 + . . . + (n - 1)4 = 1 + 2 7#8 = 1 + 28 = 29. Hence, to as a check, the eighth term in the sequence is 1 + 2 solve the original problem, we used Draw a Picture, Look for a Pattern, and Use a Variable. It may be that a pattern does not become obvious after one set of differences. Consider the following problem where several differences are required to expose the pattern.

Step 1


This problem can be better understood by drawing a picture. Since drawing 10 points and all of the joining segments may be overwhelming, looking at a simpler problem of circles with 1, 2, or 3 points on them may help in further understanding the problem. The first three cases are in Figure 1.28.

So far, the number of regions are 1, 2, and 4 respectively. Here, again, this could be the start of the pattern, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, . . . . Let’s draw three more pictures to see if this is the case. Then the pattern can be generalized to the case of 10 points.

Then we work up until the Regions sequence has ten numbers as shown next.

By using a combination of Draw a Picture, Solve a Simpler Problem, Make a List, and Look for a Pattern, the solution was found. It can also be seen that it is important when looking for such patterns to realize that we may have to look at many terms and many differences to be able to find the pattern.

Recapitulation When presenting the problems in this chapter, we took great care in organizing the solutions using Pólya’s four-step approach. However, it is not necessary to label and display each of the four steps every time you work a problem. On the other hand, it is good to get into the habit of recalling the four steps as you plan and as you work through a problem. In this chapter we have introduced several useful problem-solving strategies. In each of the following chapters, a new problem-solving strategy is introduced. These strategies will be especially helpful when you are making a plan. As you are planning to solve a problem, think of the strategies as a collection of tools. Then an important part of solving a problem can be viewed as selecting an appropriate tool or strategy. We end this chapter with a list of suggestions that students who have successfully completed a course on problem solving felt were helpful tips. Reread this list periodically as you progress through the book.

Suggestions from Successful Problem Solvers

• • • • • • • • •

Accept the challenge of solving a problem. Rewrite the problem in your own words. Take time to explore, reflect, think. . . . Talk to yourself. Ask yourself lots of questions. If appropriate, try the problem using simple numbers. Many problems require an incubation period. If you get frustrated, do not hesitate to take a break—your subconscious may take over. But do return to try again. Look at the problem in a variety of ways. Run through your list of strategies to see whether one (or more) can help you get a start. Many problems can be solved in a variety of ways—you only need to find one solution to be successful.

Do not be afraid to change your approach, strategy, and so on. Organization can be helpful in problem solving. Use the Pólya four-step approach with a variety of strategies. Experience in problem solving is very valuable. Work lots of problems; your confidence will grow. If you are not making much progress, do not hesitate to go back to make sure that you really understand the problem. This review process may happen two or three times in a problem since understanding usually grows as you work toward a solution. There is nothing like a breakthrough, a small aha!, as you solve a problem. Always, always look back. Try to see precisely what the key step was in your solution. Make up and solve problems of your own. Write up your solutions neatly and clearly enough so that you will be able to understand your solution if you reread it in 10 years. Develop good problem-solving helper skills when assisting others in solving problems. Do not give out solutions; instead, provide meaningful hints. By helping and giving hints to others, you will find that you will develop many new insights. Enjoy yourself! Solving a problem is a positive experience.

MATH EM MATHE M AT ICA L MO R SEL RSE L Sophie Germain was born in Paris in 1776, the daughter of a silk merchant. At the age of 13, she found a book on the history of mathematics in her father’s library. She became enthralled with the study of mathematics. Even though her parents disapproved of this pursuit, nothing daunted her—she studied at night wrapped in a blanket, because her parents had taken her clothing away from her to keep her from getting up. They also took away her heat and light. This only hardened her resolve until her father finally gave in and she, at last, was allowed to study to become a mathematician.

Chapter Review

39

People in Mathematics Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1885) Carl Friedrich Gauss, according to the historian E. T. Bell, “lives everywhere in mathematics.” His contributions to geometry, number theory, and analysis were deep and wide-ranging. Yet he also made crucial contributions in applied mathematics. When the tiny planet Ceres was discovered in 1800, Gauss developed a technique for calculating its orbit, based on meager observations of its direction from Earth at several known times. Gauss contributed to the modern theory of electricity and magnetism, and with the physicist W. E. Weber constructed one of the first practical electric telegraphs. In 1807 he became director of the astronomical observatory at Gottingen, where he served until his death. At age 18, Gauss devised a method for constructing a 17-sided regular polygon, using only a compass and straightedge. Remarkably, he then derived a general rule that predicted which regular polygons are likewise constructible.

Sophie Germain (1776–1831) Sophie Germain, as a teenager in Paris, discovered mathematics by reading books from her father’s library. At age 18, Germain wished to attend the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, but women were not admitted. So she studied from classroom notes supplied by sympathetic male colleagues, and she began submitting written work using the pen name Antoine LeBlanc. This work won her high praise, and eventually she was able to reveal her true identity. Germain is noted for her theory of the vibration patterns of elastic plates and for her proof of Fermat’s last theorem in some special cases. Of Sophie Germain, Carl Gauss wrote, “When a woman, because of her sex, encounters infinitely more obstacles than men . . . yet overcomes these fetters and penetrates that which is most hidden, she doubtless has the most noble courage, extraordinary talent, and superior genius.”

One day a man came into the store right after Mr. Nelson opened up and before he had a lot of change in the cash register. This man wanted to buy a pair of athletic shoes that cost $80, and he gave Mr. Nelson a $100 bill. Mr. Nelson did not have change for $100, so he ran next door and exchanged the $100 bill for five $20 bills from the cashier at The Gap. He then gave his customer the $20 in change, and the man left with the shoes. Later, the cashier at The Gap heard there were some counterfeit bills being passed in the mall. She went over to the shoe store, gave Mr. Nelson the $100 bill, and said she wanted five $20s. By now Mr. Nelson had change, so he took back the $100 bill and gave her five $20s. Shortly after that the police arrived and checked the $100 bill. Sure enough, it was counterfeit and the police confiscated it. Can you figure out how much money Mr. Nelson is out altogether?

The Mayan Numeration System

FOCUS ON

he Maya people lived mainly in southeastern Mexico, including the Yucatan Peninsula, and in much of northwestern Central America, including Guatemala and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. Earliest archaeological evidence of the Maya civilization dates to 9000 B.C.E. , with the principal epochs of the Maya cultural development occurring between 2000 B.C.E. and C.E. 1700. Knowledge of arithmetic, calendrical, and astronomical matters was more highly developed by the ancient Maya than by any other New World peoples. Their numeration system was simple, yet sophisticated. Their system utilized three basic numerals: a dot, ●, to represent 1; a horizontal bar, —, to represent 5; and a conch shell, , to represent 0. They used these three symbols, in combination, to represent the numbers 0 through 19.

For numbers greater than 19, they initially used a base 20 system. That is, they grouped in twenties and displayed their numerals vertically. Three Mayan numerals are shown together with their values in our system and the place values initially used by the Mayans.

The sun, and hence the solar calendar, was very important to the Maya. They calculated that a year consisted of 365.2420 days. (Present calculations measure our year as 365.2422 days long.) Since 360 had convenient factors and was close to 365 days in their year and 400 in their numeration system, they made a place value system where the column values from right to left were 1, 20, 20 䡠 18 (⫽ 360), 202 䡠 18 (⫽ 7200), 203 䡠 18 (⫽ 144,000), and so on. Interestingly, the Maya could record all the days of their history simply by using the place values through 144,000. The Maya were also able to use larger numbers. One Mayan hieroglyphic text recorded a number equivalent to 1,841,641,600. Finally, the Maya, famous for their hieroglyphic writing, also used the 20 ideograms pictured here, called head variants, to represent the numbers 0–19.

Often there are problems where, although it is not necessary to draw an actual picture to represent the problem situation, a diagram that represents the essence of the problem is useful. For example, if we wish to determine the number of times two heads can turn up when we toss two coins, we could literally draw pictures of all possible arrangements of two coins turning up heads or tails. However, in practice, a simple tree diagram is used like the one shown next. Outcomes when two coins are tossed H

Sets As a Basis for Whole Numbers

45

INTRODUCTION uch of elementary school mathematics is devoted to the study of numbers. Children first learn to count using the natural numbers or counting numbers 1, 2, 3, . . . (the ellipsis, or three periods, means “and so on”). This chapter develops the ideas that lead to the concepts central to the system of whole numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . (the counting numbers together with zero) and the symbols that are used to represent them. First, the notion of a one-to-one correspondence between two sets is shown to be the idea central to the formation of the concept of number. Then operations on sets are discussed. These operations form the foundation of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers. Finally, the Hindu–Arabic numeration system, our system of symbols that represent numbers, is presented after its various attributes are introduced by considering other ancient numeration systems.

SETS AS A BASIS FOR WHOLE NUMBERS After forming a group of students, use a diagram like the one at the right to place the names of each member of your group in the appropriate region. All members of the group will fit somewhere in the rectangle. Discuss the attributes of a person whose name is in the shaded region. Discuss the attributes of a person whose name is not in any of the circles.

Sets A collection of objects is called a set and the objects are called elements or members of the set. Sets can be defined in three common ways: (1) a verbal description, (2) a listing of the members separated by commas, with braces (“{” and “}”) used to enclose the list of elements, and (3) set-builder notation. For example, the verbal description “the set of all states in the United States that border the Pacific Ocean” can be represented in the other two ways as follows:

Chapter 2

Page 46


1. Listing: {Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington}. 2. Set-builder: {x 兩 x is a U.S. state that borders the Pacific Ocean}. (This set-builder notation is read: “The set of all x such that x is a U.S. state that borders the Pacific Ocean.”) Sets are usually denoted by capital letters such as A, B, C, and so on. The symbols ““ and “” are used to indicate that an object is or is not an element of a set, respectively. For example, if S represents the set of all U.S. states bordering the Pacific, then Alaska S and Michigan S. The set without elements is called the empty set (or null set) and is denoted by { } or the symbol . The set of all U.S. states bordering Antarctica is the empty set. Two sets A and B are equal, written A B, if and only if they have precisely the same elements. Thus {x 兩 x is a state that borders Lake Michigan} {Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin}. Notice that two sets, A and B, are equal if every element of A is in B, and vice versa. If A does not equal B, we write A ⫽ B. There are two inherent rules regarding sets: (1) The same element is not listed more than once within a set, and (2) the order of the elements in a set is immaterial. Thus, by rule 1, the set {a, a, b} would be written as {a, b} and by rule 2. {a, b} {b, a}, {x, y, z} {y, z, x}, and so on. The concept of a 1-1 correspondence, read “one-to-one correspondence,” is needed to formalize the meaning of a whole number.

DEFINITION One-to-One Correspondence A 1-1 correspondence between two sets A and B is a pairing of the elements of A with the elements of B so that each element of A corresponds to exactly one element of B, and vice versa. If there is a 1-1 correspondence between sets A and B, we write A ⬃ B and say that A and B are equivalent or matching sets. A x y z A x y z Figure 2.1

B a b c B a b c

Figure 2.1 shows two 1-1 correspondences between two sets, A and B. There are four other possible 1-1 correspondences between A and B. Notice that equal sets are always equivalent, since each element can be matched with itself, but that equivalent sets are not necessarily equal. For example, {1, 2} ⬃ {a, b}, but {1, 2} ⫽ {a, b}. The two sets A {a, b} and B {a, b, c} are not equivalent. However, they do satisfy the relationship defined next.

DEFINITION Subset of a Set: A B Set A is said to be a subset of B, written A B, if and only if every element of A is also an element of B. The set consisting of New Hampshire is a subset of the set of all New England states and {a, b, c} {a, b, c, d, e, f}. Since every element in a set A is in A, A A for all sets A. Also, {a, b, c} {a, b, d} because c is in the set {a, b, c} but not in the set {a, b, d}. Using similar reasoning, you can argue that A for any set A since it is impossible to find an element in that is not in A.

If A 債 B and B has an element that is not in A, we write A 傺 B and say that A is a proper subset of B. Thus {a, b} 傺 {a, b, c}, since {a, b} 債 {a, b, c} and c is in the second set but not in the first. Circles or other closed curves are used in Venn diagrams (named after the English logician John Venn) to illustrate relationships between sets. These circles are usually pictured within a rectangle, U, where the rectangle represents the universal set or universe, the set comprised of all elements being considered in a particular discussion. Figure 2.2 displays sets A and B inside a universal set U. U B x A

Figure 2.2

Set A is comprised of everything inside circle A, and set B is comprised of everything inside circle B, including set A. Hence A is a proper subset of B since x 僆 B, but x 僆 A. The idea of proper subset will be used later to help establish the meaning of the concept “less than” for whole numbers.

Finite and Infinite Sets

Developing Algebraic Reasoning www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Variable.”

There are two broad categories of sets: finite and infinite. Informally, a set is finite if it is empty or can have its elements listed (where the list eventually ends), and a set is infinite if it goes on without end. A little more formally, a set is finite if (1) it is empty or (2) it can be put into a 1-1 correspondence with a set of the form {1, 2, 3, . . . , n}, where n is a counting number. On the other hand, a set is infinite if it is not finite.

Example 2.1

Determine whether the following sets are finite or infinite.

a. {a, b, c} b. {1, 2, 3, . . . } c. {2, 4, 6, . . . , 2 0 } Reflection from Research While many students will agree that two infinite sets such as the set of counting numbers and the set of even numbers are equivalent, the same students will argue that the set of counting numbers is larger due to its inclusion of the odd numbers (Wheeler, 1987).

S O LU T I O N

a. {a, b, c} is finite since it can be matched with the set {1, 2, 3}. b. {1, 2, 3, . . .} is an infinite set. c. {2, 4, 6, . . . , 20} is a finite set since it can be matched with the set {1, 2, 3, . . . , 10}. (Here, the ellipsis means to continue the pattern until the last element is reached.) ■ NOTE: The small solid square ( ■ ) is used to mark the end of an example or mathematical argument.

An interesting property of every infinite set is that it can be matched with a proper subset of itself. For example, consider the following 1-1 correspondence: A ⫽ {1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , n, . . .}

dddd

d

B ⫽ {2, 4, 6, 8, . . . , 2n, . . .}. Connection to Algebra Due to the nature of infinite sets, a variable is commonly used to illustrate matching elements in two sets when showing 1-1 correspondences.

Note that B A and that each element in A is paired with exactly one element in B, and vice versa. Notice that matching n with 2n indicates that we never “run out” of elements from B to match with the elements from set A. Thus an alternative definition is that a set is infinite if it is equivalent to a proper subset of itself. In this case, a set is finite if it is not infinite.

Operations on Sets Two sets A and B that have no elements in common are called disjoint sets. The sets {a, b, c} and {d, e, f } are disjoint (Figure 2.3), whereas {x, y} and {y, z} are not disjoint, since y is an element in both sets. U A

There are many ways to construct a new set from two or more sets. The following operations on sets will be very useful in clarifying our understanding of whole numbers and their operations.

DEFINITION Union of Sets: A B The union of two sets A and B, written A B, is the set that consists of all elements belonging either to A or to B (or to both). Informally, A B is formed by putting all the elements of A and B together. The next example illustrates this definition.

Example 2.2

Find the union of the given pairs of sets.

a. {a, b} {c, d, e} b. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} c. {m, n, q} {m, n, p} S O LU T I O N

a. {a, b} {c, d, e} {a, b, c, d, e} b. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} c. {m, n, q} {m, n, p} {m, n, p, q}

Notice that although m is a member of both sets in Example 2.2(c), it is listed only once in the union of the two sets. The union of sets A and B is displayed in a Venn diagram by shading the portion of the diagram that represents A B (Figure 2.4). U A

Figure 2.4 Shaded region is A B.

The notion of set union is the basis for the addition of whole numbers, but only when disjoint sets are used. Notice how the sets in Example 2.2(a) can be used to show that 2 3 5. Another useful set operation is the intersection of sets.

DEFINITION Intersection of Sets: A B The intersection of sets A and B, written A B, is the set of all elements common to sets A and B. Thus A B is the set of elements shared by A and B. Example 2.3 illustrates this definition. Find the intersection of the given pairs of sets.

Example 2.3 a. {a, b, c} {b, d, f } b. {a, b, c} {a, b, c} c. {a, b} {c, d} S O LU T I O N

a. {a, b, c} {b, d, f } {b} since b is the only element in both sets. b. {a, b, c} {a, b, c} {a, b, c} since a, b, c are in both sets. c. {a, b} {c, d} since there are no elements common to the given two sets. ■ Figure 2.5 displays A B. Observe that two sets are disjoint if and only if their intersection is the empty set. Figure 2.3 shows a Venn diagram of two sets whose intersection is the empty set. U A

In many situations, instead of considering elements of a set A, it is more productive to consider all elements in the universal set other than those in A. This set is defined next.

DEFINITION Complement of a Set: A The complement of a set A, written A, is the set of all elements in the universe, U, that are not in A. The set A is shaded in Figure 2.6. U A

A Figure 2.6 Shaded region is A.

Example 2.4

a. A {b, c, d} b. B {1, 3, 5, . . . } c. A B {4, 5} {1, 2, 5} {1, 2, 4, 5} A B = {3} {1, 2, 4, 5}

■

The next set operation forms the basis for subtraction.

DEFINITION Difference of Sets: A B The set difference (or relative complement) of set B from set A, written A B, is the set of all elements in A that are not in B. In set-builder notation, A B {x 兩 x A and x B}. Also, as can be seen in Figure 2.7, A B can be viewed as A B. Example 2.5 provides some examples of the difference of one set from another. U A

In Example 2.5(c), the second set is a subset of the first. These sets can be used to show that 4 3 1. Another way of combining two sets to form a third set is called the Cartesian product. The Cartesian product, named after the French mathematician René Descartes, forms the basis of whole-number multiplication and is also useful in probability and geometry. To define the Cartesian product, we need to have the concept of ordered pair. An ordered pair, written (a, b), is a pair of elements where one of the elements is designated as first (a in this case) and the other is second (b here). The notion of an ordered pair differs from that of simply a set of two elements because of the preference in order. For example, {1, 2} {2, 1} as sets, because they have the same elements. But (1, 2) ⫽ (2, 1) as ordered pairs, since the order of the elements is different. Two ordered pairs (a, b) and (c, d) are equal if and only if a c and b d.

DEFINITION Cartesian Product of Sets: A B The Cartesian product of set A with set B, written A B and read “A cross B,” is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b), where a A and b B. In set-builder notation, A B {(a, b) 兩 a A and b B}.

Example 2.6

Find the Cartesian product of the given pairs of sets.

a. {x, y, z} {m, n} b. {7} {a, b, c} S O LU T I O N

a. {x, y, z} {m, n} {(x, m), (x, n), (y, m), (y, n), (z, m), (z, n)} b. {7} {a, b, c} {(7, a), (7, b), (7, c)}

■

Notice that when finding a Cartesian product, all possible pairs are formed where the first element comes from the first set and the second element comes from the second set. Also observe that in part (a) of Example 2.6, there are three elements in the first set, two in the second, and six in their Cartesian product, and that 3 2 6. Similarly, in part (b), these sets can be used to find the whole-number product 1 3 3. All of the operations on sets that have been introduced in this subsection result in a new set. For example, A B is an operation on two sets that results in the set of all elements that are common to set A and B. Similarly, C D is an operation on set C that results in the set of elements C that are not also in set D. On the other hand,

Venn diagrams are often used to solve problems, as shown next. Thirty elementary teachers were asked which high school courses they appreciated: algebra or geometry. Seventeen appreciated algebra and 15 appreciated geometry; of these, 5 said that they appreciated both. How many appreciated neither?

Example 2.7

S O LU T I O N Since there are two courses, we draw a Venn diagram with two overlapping circles labeled A for algebra and G for geometry [Figure 2.8(a)]. Since 5 teachers appreciated both algebra and geometry, we place a 5 in the intersection of A and G [Figure 2.8(b)]. Seventeen must be in the A circle; thus 12 must be in the remaining part of A [Figure 2.8(c)]. Similarly, 10 must be in the G circle outside the intersection [Figure 2.8(d)]. Thus we have accounted for 12 5 10 27 teachers. This leaves 3 of the 30 teachers who appreciated neither algebra nor geometry. ■ U A

MATHE MATH E M AT ICA I CA L MO RSE R SE L There are several theories concerning the rationale behind the shapes of the 10 digits in our Hindu–Arabic numeration system. One is that the number represented by each digit is given by the number of angles in the original digit. Count the “angles” in each digit below. (Here an “angle” is less than 180⬚.) Of course, zero is round, so it has no angles.

Whole Numbers and Numeration

Problems Relating to the NCTM Standards and Curriculum Focal Points 1. The Focal Points for Prekindergarten state “Developing an understanding of whole numbers, including concepts of correspondence, counting, cardinality, and comparions.” How does the idea of 1-1 correspondence introduced in this chapter relate to this focal point for young children? 2. The NCTM Standards state “students should count with understanding and recognize ‘how many’ in sets of objects.”

2.2 S TAR T I NG POINT

Children’s Literature www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Moja Means One” by Muriel Feelings.

NCTM Standard All students should develop understanding of the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers and of ordinal and cardinal numbers and their connections.

Reflection from Reserch There is a clear separation of development in young children concerning the cardinal and ordinal aspects of numbers. Despite the fact that they could utilize the same counting skills, the understanding of ordinality by young children lags well behind the understanding of cardinality (Bruce & Threlfall, 2004).

Discuss how the concept of “how many” is highlighted as students count objects in equivalent sets. 3. The NCTM Standards state “Instructional programs should enable students to select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems.” Explain how Venn diagrams can be used as a representation to solve problems.

WHOLE NUMBERS AND NUMERATION Today our numeration system has the symbol “2” to represent the number of eyes a person has. The symbols “1” and “0” combine to represent the number of toes a person has, “10.” The Roman numeration system used the symbol “X” to represent the number of toes and “C” to represent the number of years in a century. Using only the three symbols at the right, devise your own numeration system and show how you can use your system to represent all of the quantities 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , 100.

Numbers and Numerals As mentioned earlier, the study of the set of whole numbers, W {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . .}, is the foundation of elementary school mathematics. But what precisely do we mean by the whole number 3? A number is an idea, or an abstraction, that represents a quantity. The symbols that we see, write, or touch when representing numbers are called numerals. There are three common uses of numbers. The most common use of whole numbers is to describe how many elements are in a finite set. When used in this manner, the number is referred to as a cardinal number. A second use is concerned with order. For example, you may be second in line, or your team may be fourth in the standings. Numbers used in this way are called ordinal numbers. Finally, identification numbers are used to name such things as telephone numbers, bank account numbers, and social security numbers. In this case, the numbers are used in a numeral sense in that only the symbols, rather than their values, are important. Before discussing our system of numeration or symbolization, the concept of cardinal number will be considered. What is the number 3? What do you think of when you see the sets in Figure 2.9?

First, there are no common elements. One set is made up of letters, one of shapes, one of Greek letters, and so on. Second, each set can be matched with every other set. Now imagine all the infinitely many sets that can be matched with these sets. Even though the sets will be made up of various elements, they will all share the common attribute that they are equivalent to the set {a, b, c}. The common idea that is associated with all of these equivalent sets is the number 3. That is, the number 3 is the attribute common to all sets that match the set {a, b, c}. Similarly, the whole number 2 is the common idea associated with all sets equivalent to the set {a, b}. All other nonzero whole numbers can be conceptualized in a similar manner. Zero is the idea, or number, one imagines when asked: “How many elements are in the empty set?” Although the preceding discussion regarding the concept of a whole number may seem routine for you, there are many pitfalls for children who are learning the concept of numerousness for the first time. Chronologically, children first learn how to say the counting chant “one, two, three, . . .”. However, saying the chant and understanding the concept of number are not the same thing. Next, children must learn how to match the counting chant words they are saying with the objects they are counting. For example, to count the objects in the set {䉭, 嘷, 䡺}, a child must correctly assign the words “one, two, three” to the objects in a 1-1 fashion. Actually, children first learning to count objects fail this task in two ways: (1) They fail to assign a word to each object, and hence their count is too small; or (2) they count one or more objects at least twice and end up with a number that is too large. To reach the final stage in understanding the concept of number, children must be able to observe several equivalent sets, as in Figure 2.9, and realize that, when they count each set, they arrive at the same word. Thus this word is used to name the attribute common to all such sets. The symbol n(A) is used to represent the number of elements in a finite set A. More precisely, (1) n(A) m if A ⬃ {1, 2, . . . , m}, where m is a counting number, and (2) n( ) 0. Thus n ({a, b, c}) 3 since {a, b, c} ⬃ {1, 2, 3}, and n ({a, b, c, . . . , z}) 26 since {a, b, c, . . . , z} ⬃ {1, 2, 3, . . . , 26}, and so on, for other finite sets.

Ordering Whole Numbers NCTM Standard All students should count with understanding and recognize “how many” in sets of objects.

Children may get their first introduction to ordering whole numbers through the counting chant “one, two, three, . . . .” For example, “two” is less than “five,” since “two” comes before “five” in the counting chant. A more meaningful way of comparing two whole numbers is to use 1-1 correspondences. We can say that 2 is less than 5, since any set with two elements matches a proper subset of any set with five elements (Figure 2.10).

Finally, the glide reflection image of point P, Ml (TAB(P)), is read “M sub l of T sub AB of P” [Figure 16.25(d)]. Note that in the notation for the glide reflection, the transformation TAB is applied first. Next, we will investigate properties of the transformations listed in Table 16.1. In particular, we first will determine whether they preserve distance; that is, whether the distance between two points is the same as the distance between their images. Suppose that we have a translation TAB and that we consider the effect of TAB on a line segment PQ (Figure 16.26). Let P⬘ ⫽ TAB(P) and Q⬘ ⫽ TAB(Q). According to the definition of a translation, PP ¿ ‘ AB and PP⬘ ⫽ AB. Similarly, QQ ¿ ‘ AB and QQ⬘ ⫽ AB. Combining our results, we see that PP ¿ ‘ QQ ¿ and PP⬘ ⫽ QQ⬘. B

Thus PP⬘Q⬘Q is a parallelogram, since opposite sides, PP ¿ and QQ ¿ , are parallel and congruent. Consequently, PQ ⫽ P⬘Q⬘. We have verified that translations preserve distance; that is, that the distance P⬘Q⬘ is equal to the distance PQ. (Also, since PQ ‘ P ¿ Q ¿ , we can deduce that a translation maps a line to a line parallel to the original line.) Next, we show that rotations also preserve distance. Suppose that RO,a is a rotation with center O and angle with measure a. Consider the effect of RO,a on a line segment PQ (Figure 16.27). We wish to show that PQ ⫽ P⬘Q⬘.

Congruence and Similarity Using Transformations

Here we are assuming that P rotates counterclockwise to P⬘ and Q to Q⬘. (If it does not, a similar argument can be developed.) Then we have b + d = a = d + c

so that

b + d = d + c

Hence b ⫽ c, so that m(∠POQ) ⫽ m(∠P⬘OQ⬘). Thus 䉭POQ 艑䉭P⬘OQ⬘, by the SAS congruence property. Consequently, we have that PQ ⬵ P ¿ Q ¿ , since they are corresponding sides in the congruent triangles. This shows that rotations preserve distance. Unlike translations, a rotation, in general, does not map a line to a line parallel to the original line. In fact, only rotations through multiples of 180⬚ do. Using triangle congruence, we can show that reflections also preserve distance. There are four cases to consider: (1) P and Q are on l; (2) only one of P or Q is on l; (3) P and Q are on the same side of l; and (4) P and Q are on opposite sides of l.

Q l S

CASE 1: P and Q are fixed by Ml; that is, Ml (P) ⫽ P⬘ ⫽ P, and Ml (Q) ⫽ Q⬘ ⫽ Q, so that P⬘Q⬘ ⫽ PQ.

CASE 2: Suppose that P is on line l and Q is not on l (Figure 16.28). Let Q⬘ ⫽

P

Ml (Q) and let S be the intersection of segment QQ ¿ and line l. Then QS ⫽ Q⬘S and ∠QSP is a right angle, by the definition of Ml (Q). Hence 䉭QSP 艑䉭Q⬘SP by the SAS congruence condition. Consequently, QP ⫽ Q⬘P⬘ as desired. Cases 3 and 4 are somewhat more complicated and are left for Part A Problem 24 and Part B Problem 24, respectively, in the Problem Set.

Q´ Figure 16.28

In the case of a glide reflection, since both the translation and the reflection comprising the glide reflection preserve distance, the glide reflection must also preserve distance. In the first section, a transformation that preserved size and shape was called an isometry. More formally, an isometry is a transformation that preserves distance (iso ⫽ “equal,” metry ⫽ “measure”). We have just shown that translations, rotations, reflections, and glide reflections are isometries. It can also be shown that isometries map lines to lines; that is, the image of a line l under an isometry is another line l⬘. Figure 16.29 illustrates this result for a translation, rotation, and reflection. O A

We can show that every isometry also preserves angle measure; that is, an isometry maps an angle to an angle that is congruent to the original angle (Figure 16.30). Consider ∠PQR and its image, ∠P⬘Q⬘R⬘, under an isometry. Form 䉭PQR and its image 䉭P⬘Q⬘R⬘ (Figure 16.30). We know that PQ ⫽ P⬘Q⬘, QR ⫽ Q⬘R⬘, and PR ⫽ P⬘R⬘. Thus 䉭PQR 艑䉭P⬘Q⬘R⬘ by the SSS congruence property, so that ∠PQR 艑 ∠P⬘Q⬘R⬘. Because isometries preserve distance, we know that isometries map triangles to congruent triangles. Also, using the corresponding angles property, it can be shown

that isometries preserve parallelism. That is, isometries map parallel lines to parallel lines. A verification of this is left for Part B Problem 20 in the Problem Set. We can summarize properties of isometries as follows.

THEOREM Properties of Isometries 1. Isometries map lines to lines, segments to segments, rays to rays, angles to angles, and polygons to polygons. 2. Isometries preserve angle measure. 3. Isometries map triangles to congruent triangles. 4. Isometries preserve parallelism.

We can analyze congruent triangles by means of isometries. Suppose, for example, that 䉭ABC and 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ are congruent, they have the same orientation, and the three pairs of corresponding sides are parallel, as in Figure 16.31. Since the corresponding sides are parallel and congruent, TAA⬘ maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. A

Thus, if two congruent triangles have the same orientation, and a translation will not map one to the other, there is a rotation that will. Next, suppose that 䉭ABC and 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ are congruent and have opposite orientation. Further, assume that there is a line l that is the perpendicular bisector of AA ¿ , BB ¿ , and CC ¿ (Figure 16.36). Then, by the definition of a reflection, Ml maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. If there is no reflection mapping 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘, then a glide reflection maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘.

Thus, if two congruent triangles 䉭ABC and 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ have opposite orientation, there exists either a reflection or a glide reflection that maps one to the other. We can summarize our results about triangle congruence and isometries as follows.

THEOREM Triangle Congruence and Isometries 䉭ABC 艑䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ if and only if there is an isometry that maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. If the triangles have the same orientation, the isometry is either a translation or a rotation. If the triangles have opposite orientation, the isometry is either a reflection or a glide reflection. NCTM Standard All students should examine the congruence, similarity, and line or rotational symmetry of objects using transformations.

Based on the foregoing discussion, it can be shown that there are only four types of isometries in the plane: translations, rotations, reflections, and glide reflections. Isometries allow us to define congruence between general types of shapes (i.e., collections of points) in the plane.

DEFINITION Developing Algebraic Reasoning www.wiley.com/college/musser See “Equality.”

Congruent Shapes Two shapes, ᏿ and ᏿⬘, in the plane are congruent if and only if there is an isometry that maps ᏿ onto ᏿⬘. Figure 16.40 shows several pairs of congruent shapes. Can you identify the type of isometry, in each case, that maps shape ᏿ to shape ᏿⬘? In parts (a), (b), (c), and (d), respectively, of Figure 16.40, a translation, rotation, reflection, and glide reflection will map shape ᏿ to shape ᏿⬘.

Choose three vertices in ᏼ—say A, B, and C—and their corresponding vertices A⬘, B⬘, and C⬘ in ᏼ⬘ [Figure 16.41(b)]. By the side–angle–side congruence condition, 䉭ABC 艑䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. Thus there is an isometry T that maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. But then T preserves ∠BCD and distance CD. Since ᏼ and ᏼ⬘ have the same orientation, T must map segment CD to segment C ¿ D ¿ . Similarly, T maps segment DE to segment D ¿ E ¿ and segment EA to segment E ¿ A ¿ . From this we see that T maps polygon ᏼ to polygon ᏼ⬘ so that the polygons are congruent.

THEOREM Congruent Polygons Suppose that there is a one-to-one correspondence between polygons ᏼ and ᏼ⬘ such that all pairs of corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Then ᏼ 艑 ᏼ⬘.

Similarity and Similitudes

Next we study properties of size transformations and similitudes. Isometries preserve distance, whereas size transformations, hence similitudes, preserve ratios of distances. To see this, consider PQ and its image P ¿ Q ¿ under the size transformation SO,k, where k ⬎ 1 and where O, P, and Q are not collinear (Figure 16.42). By definition, OQ ¿ OQ ¿ OP ¿ OP ¿ = k, and OQ⬘ ⫽ k 䡠 OQ, so = k. Thus = . OP⬘ ⫽ k 䡠 OP, so OP OQ OP OQ OQ ¿ OP ¿ = , we can conclude that 䉭POQ ⬃ 䉭P⬘OQ⬘ Since ∠POQ ⫽ ∠P⬘OQ⬘ and OP OQ P¿Q¿ = k. In the case when O, P, and Q by SAS similarity. By corresponding parts, PQ are not collinear, the size transformation SO,k takes every segment PQ to a segment k times as long. This is also true in the case when O, P, and Q are collinear. Thus, in general, size transformations preserve ratios of distances. Since size transformations preserve ratios of distances, the image of any triangle is similar to the original triangle by SSS similarity. Thus size transformations also preserve angle measure. A proof of this result and others in the following theorem are left for the problem set.

THEOREM Properties of Size Transformations 1. The size transformation SO,k maps a line segment PQ to a parallel line segment P ¿ Q ¿ . In general, size transformations map lines to parallel lines and rays to parallel rays. 2. Size transformations preserve ratios of distances. 3. Size transformations preserve angle measure. 4. Size transformations preserve parallelism. 5. Size transformations preserve orientation. Recall that a similitude is a combination of a size transformation and an isometry. Thus the following properties of similitudes can be obtained by reasoning from the properties of size transformations and isometries. The verification of these properties is left for the problem set.

THEOREM Properties of Similitudes 1. Similitudes map lines to lines, segments to segments, rays to rays, angles to angles, and polygons to polygons. 2. Similitudes preserve ratios of distances. 3. Similitudes preserve angle measure. 4. Similitudes map triangles to similar triangles. 5. Similitudes preserve parallelism. The next theorem and following example display the connection between the general notion of similarity and similar triangles.

THEOREM Triangle Similarity and Similitudes 䉭ABC ⬃ 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ if and only if there is a similitude that maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. Suppose 䉭ABC and 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ in Figure 16.43 are similar under the correspondence A ↔ A⬘, B ↔ B⬘, and A´ C ↔ C⬘. Suppose also that AC ⫽ 4, BC ⫽ 9, AB ⫽ 12, and A⬘C⬘ ⫽ 7.

b. Consider the size transformation SA,7/4. Figure 16.44 shows the effect of SA,7/4 on 䉭ABC. Note that B* and C* are the images of B and C, respectively, under this size transformation. Calculate that AC* ⫽ 7, AB* ⫽ 21, and B*C* = 1534. Hence 䉭AB*C* 艑䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ by the SSS congruence property. (In fact, any size transformation with scale factor 74 will map 䉭ABC to a triangle congruent to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. For convenience, we chose point A as the center of the size transformation. However, we could have chosen any point as the center.) Observe that 䉭AB*C* and 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ have the same orientation. However, 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ is not a translation image of 䉭AB⬘C⬘. Therefore, there is a rotation that maps 䉭AB*C* to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘. Thus SA,7/4 followed by a rotation is a similitude that maps 䉭ABC to 䉭A⬘B⬘C⬘ (Figure 16.45). ■ We can define similarity of shapes in the plane via similitudes.

THEOREM Similar Polygons Suppose that there is a one-to-one correspondence between polygons ᏼ and ᏼ⬘ such that all pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Then ᏼ ⬃ ᏼ⬘. From the definition of similar shapes, we see that all congruent shapes are similar, since we can use the size transformation with scale factor 1 to serve as the similitude in mapping one congruent shape to the other. Hence all transformations that we have studied in this chapter—namely, isometries (translations, rotations, reflections, glide reflections), size transformations, and combinations of these transformations—are similitudes. Thus all the transformations that we have studied preserve shapes of figures.

Finally, since there are only four types of isometries in the plane, it follows that every similitude is a combination of a size transformation and one of the four types of isometries: a translation, rotation, reflection, or glide reflection. The approach to congruence and similarity of geometric shapes via isometries and similitudes is called transformation geometry. Transformation geometry provides additional problem-solving techniques in geometry that effectively complement approaches using triangle congruence and similarity and approaches using coordinates. We explore the use of transformations to solve geometry problems in the next section.

Geometric Problem Solving Using Transformations

893

GEOMETRIC PROBLEM SOLVING USING TRANSFORMATIONS You and your friends are shooting pool on the pool table as shown when you are confronted with three collinear balls. One of the rules of the game is that you cannot hit the eight-ball (black ball) first. Also, you are penalized if you don’t hit another ball with the cue ball (white ball). Describe a path that the cue ball (the white one) can take so that it will miss the eight-ball (the black one) but hit the other ball. Find another such path.

Using Transformations to Solve Problems The use of transformations provides an alternative approach to geometry and gives us additional problem-solving techniques. Our first example is a transformational proof of a familiar property of isosceles triangles. A

Use isometries to show that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

Example 16.11

Let 䉭ABC be isosceles with AB ⬵ AC (Figure 16.47). Reflect 䉭ABC Í ! B´ SOLUTION

B

C

Figure 16.47

in AC forming 䉭AB⬘C. As a result, we know that ∠ABC 艑 ∠AB⬘C and ∠BAC 艑 ∠B⬘AC, since reflections preserve angle measure. Next, consider the rotation with center A and directed angle ⭿B⬘AC. Since ∠B⬘AC 艑 ∠BAC, and since AB ⬵ AC ⬵ AB ¿ , we know that this rotation maps 䉭AB⬘C to 䉭ACB. Hence ∠AB⬘C 艑 ∠ACB. Combining this with our preceding observation that ∠AB⬘C 艑 ∠ABC, we have that ∠ABC 艑 ∠ACB. ■

A particular type of rotation, called a half-turn, is especially useful in verifying properties of polygons. A half-turn, HO, is a rotation through 180⬚ with any point, O, as the center. Figure 16.48, shows a half-turn image of 䉭ABC, with point O as the center. In Figure 16.48, AB is rotated by HO to A ¿ B ¿ , where it appears that A ¿ B ¿ ‘ AB. Next we verify that the half-turn image of a line is indeed parallel to the original line.

Reflection from Research Students’ development of understanding of concepts in transformation geometry is consistent with the van Hiele theory (Soon, 1989).

In Figure 16.49, let l be a line and let O be the center of a half-turn. Notice that in this case O is not on l. Since HO is an isometry, it maps l to a line l⬘. Let A and B be points on l. Then A⬘ and B⬘, the images of A and B under the half-turn Í ! HO, are on l⬘. Also, and most important, A, O, and A⬘ are collinear, so that line AA ¿ is a transversal for lines l and l⬘ containing point O. Since HO is an isometry, ∠BAO 艑 ∠B⬘A⬘O. Thus, by the alternate interior angles theorem, l 储 l⬘. In summary, we have shown that a halfturn, HO, maps a line l to a line l⬘ such that l⬘ 储 l. Figure 16.50 shows the two possible cases; namely, O is on l [Figure 16.50(a)] or O is not on l [Figure 16.50(b)]. If O is on l, the result follows immediately, since every line is parallel to itself.

Thus HO maps side AB of quadrilateral ABCD to side CD so that AB ‘ CD. Also, HO maps AD to CB so that AD ‘ CB. Hence quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, since both pairs of its opposite sides are parallel. (NOTE: Since HO is an isometry, this also shows that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.) ■

A B Figure 16.52

Cue ball A is to hit cushion l, then strike object ball B (Figure 16.52). Assuming that there is no “spin” on the cue ball, show how to find the desired point P on cushion l at which to aim the cue ball.

Example 16.13

S O LU T I O N Reflect the cue ball, A, in line l. That is, find Ml (A) ⫽ A⬘ (Figure 16.52). Let P be the point at which the line A ¿ B intersects cushion l. Then ∠1 艑 ∠2, since an angle is congruent to its reflection image, and ∠2 艑 ∠3, because they are vertical angles. Since the angle of incidence is congruent to the angle of reflection, we have that the cue ball should be aimed at point P. ■

Examples of pool shot paths caroming, or “banking,” off several cushions appear in the Exercise/Problem Set. Our next example concerns a minimal distance problem involving a translation.

MATHE MATH E M AT ICA L MO RSE R SE L Have you ever seen a rabbit or a bear in the clouds? How about a hexagon? In March of 2007, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft transmitted a picture of a hexagonal cloud formation circling the north pole of Saturn. Two decades earlier NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 transmitted a similar image indicating this regular hexagon cloud is a long-term phenomena. Such an oddly shaped cloud has not been seen near any other planet. This hexagon is about 15,000 miles across, which is about twice the diameter of the earth. The thermal imaging that was used to capture the image also determined that the hexagon goes 60 miles down into the clouds. The hexagon appears to be moving with the rotation and axis of the planet. Since the rotation rate of Saturn is still unknown, this cloud may shed light on the rotation of Saturn.

People in Mathematics Edward G. Begle (1914–1978) Edward G. Begle could be called the father of the “New Math.” Influenced by the success of Sputnik in 1957, the U.S. government, through its National Science Foundation, embarked on a systematic revision of the K–12 curriculum in the late 1950s. Although Begle was well on his way to becoming a first-rate research mathematician, he was asked to lead this effort, called the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG), due to his unique talent for administration. He moved to Stanford, where he coordinated the SMSG for many years. In addition to this project, he initiated the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Abilities (NLSMA), which set a standard for subsequent such studies. Begle, whose respect for mathematics education grew as he worked with SMSG, stated that “Mathematics education is more complicated than you expected even though you expected it to be more complicated than you expected.”

Jaime Escalante (1930– ) Jaime Escalante began teaching at Garfield High in East Los Angeles as a seasoned mathematics teacher, having taught for 11 years in Bolivia. But he was not prepared for this run-down innercity school, where gang violence abounded and neither parents nor students were interested in education. After the discouraging first day on the job, he vowed, “First I’m going to teach them responsibility, and I’m going to teach them respect, and then I’m going to quit.” He succeeded but stayed on to build, year after year, a team of mathematics students with the Advanced Placement calculus exam as their Olympic competition. He built their self-confidence and trained, coached, and prodded them as a coach might train athletes. Students would go to the Advanced Placement exam wearing their school jackets, yelling “Defense, Defense!” The movie Stand and Deliver was about Escalante’s successes as a teacher at Garfield.

Epilogue

AN ECLECTIC APPROACH TO GEOMETRY Introduction NCTM Standard

Three approaches to geometry were presented in Chapters 14–16:

Instructional programs should enable all students to select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof.

1. The traditional Euclidean approach using congruence and similarity 2. The coordinate approach 3. The transformation approach A fourth common approach is the vector approach. The value of multiple approaches to problem solving is that a theorem may be proved using any of several methods, one of which may lead to an easy proof. Facility using these various approaches gives one “mathematical power” when making proofs in geometry. This section gives a proof of the midsegment theorem using each of the three approaches. The problem set contains problems where you may choose the approach that you feel will lead to an easy solution.

The Midsegment Theorem In Section 14.5 it was shown that the midsegment of a triangle is parallel and equal to one-half the length of the third side. Following are three different proofs, the first using congruence, the second using coordinates, and the third using transformations. Let PQ be a midsegment of ⌬ABC as shown in Figure E.1(a). Extend PQ through Q to R so that PQ ⫽ QR , and draw CR [Figure E.1(b)]. C O N G RU EN C E PR OOF

Figure E.1

By SAS, ⌬PBQ 艑 ⌬RCQ, since ∠PQB and ∠RQC are vertical angles. Consequently, ∠PBQ 艑 ∠RCQ by corresponding parts. Viewing these parts as a pair of congruent alternate interior angles, we have AP ‘ CR. Again, by corresponding parts, PB ⬵ CR. Also, since AP ⬵ PB, we have AP ⬵ CR [Figure E.1(c)]. Thus, by Example 14.13, APRC is a parallelogram, since AP ‘ CR and A ⬵ CR. It follows that PQ ‘ AC and PQ = 12AC. ■

Epilogue

Let PQ be a midsegment of ⌬ABC with coordinates as shown in Figure E.2. By the midpoint formula, the coordinates of P are (a2, b2) and of Q are (a +2 c, b2). Since P and Q have the same y-coordinate, namely b2, PQ is horizontal; hence it is parallel to the x-axis and thus to AC. Also, PQ = a +2 c - a2 = 2c and AC ⫽ c. Thus PQ = 12AC.

If the coordinate and transformation proofs seem to be much easier, it is because much work went into developing concepts before we applied them in these proofs. For example, we applied the midpoint formula in the coordinate proof and properties of size transformations in the transformation proof. The following Problem Set will provide practice in proving geometric relationships using the three approaches. Your choice of approach is a personal one. You may find one approach to be preferable (easier?) to a friend’s. You will find that comparing the various proofs and discussing the merits of the various approaches is worthwhile.

Logic allows us to determine the validity of arguments, in and out of mathematics. The validity of an argument depends on its logical form, not on the particular meaning of the terms it contains. For example, the argument, “All X’s are Y’s; all Y’s are Z’s; therefore all X’s are Z’s” is valid no matter what X, Y, and Z are. In this topic section we will study how logic can be used to represent arguments symbolically and to analyze arguments using tables and diagrams.

Statements Often, ideas in mathematics can be made clearer through the use of variables and diagrams. For example, the equation 2m ⫹ 2n ⫽ 2(m ⫹ n), where the variables m and n are whole numbers, can be used to show that the sum of any two arbitrary even numbers, 2m and 2n here, is the even number 2(m ⫹ n). Figure T1.1 shows that (x ⫹ y)2 ⫽ x2 ⫹ 2xy ⫹ y2, where each term in the expanded product is the area of the rectangular region so designated. In a similar fashion, symbols and diagrams can be used to clarify logic. Statements are the building blocks on which logic is built. A statement is a declarative sentence that is true or false but not both. Examples of statements include the following: 1. Alaska is geographically the largest state of the United States. (True) 2. Texas is the largest state of the United States in population. (False) 3. 2 ⫹ 3 ⫽ 5. (True) 4. 3 ⬍ 0. (False) The following are not statements. 1. Oregon is the best state. (Subjective) 2. Help! (An exclamation) 3. Where were you? (A question) 4. The rain in Spain. (Not a sentence) 5. This sentence is false. (Neither true nor false!) Statements are usually represented symbolically by lowercase letters (e.g., p, q, r, and s). New statements can be created from existing statements in several ways. For example, if p represents the statement “The sun is shining,” then the negation of p, written ⬃p and read “not p,” is the statement “The sun is not shining.” When a statement

913

is true, its negation is false and when a statement is false, its negation is true; that is, a statement and its negation have opposite truth values. This relationship between a statement and its negation is summarized using a truth table: p

⬃p

T F

F T

This table shows that when the statement p is T, then ⬃ p is F and when p is F, ⬃ p is T.

Logical Connectives Two or more statements can be joined, or connected, to form compound statements. The four commonly used logical connectives “and,” “or,” “if–then,” and “if and only if ” are studied next.

AND If p is the statement “It is raining” and q is the statement “The sun is shining,” then the conjunction of p and q is the statement “It is raining and the sun is shining” or, symbolically, “p ¿ q.” The conjunction of two statements p and q is true exactly when both p and q are true. This relationship is displayed in the next truth table. p

q

p¿q

T T F F

T F T F

T F F F

Notice that the two statements p and q each have two possible truth values, T and F. Hence there are four possible combinations of T and F to consider.

OR The disjunction of statements p and q is the statement “p or q,” symbolically,

“p ¡ q.” In practice, there are two common uses of “or”: the exclusive “or” and the inclusive “or.” The statement “I will go or I will not go” is an example of the use of the exclusive “or,” since either “I will go” is true or “I will not go” is true, but both cannot be true at the same time. The inclusive “or” (called “and/or” in everyday language) allows for the situation in which both parts are true. For example, the statement “It will rain or the sun will shine” uses the inclusive “or”; it is true if (1) it rains, (2) the sun shines, or (3) it rains and the sun shines. That is, the inclusive “or” in p ¡ q allows for both p and q to be true. In mathematics, we agree to use the inclusive “or,” whose truth values are summarized in the next truth table. p

c. (⬃p) ¡ q f. ⬃[ p ¡ (⬃ q)]

S O LU T I O N

a. p is T, so ⬃p is F. b. p is T and q is F, so p ¿ q is F. c. ⬃p is F and q is F, so (⬃p) ¡ q is F. d. p is T and ⬃q is T, so p ¿ (⬃q) is T. e. p is T and q is F, so p ¿ q is F and ⬃( p ¿ q) is T. f. p is T and ⬃q is T, so p ¡ (⬃ q) is T and ⬃[p ¡ (⬃q)] is F. ■

IF-THEN One of the most important compound statements is the implication. The statement “If p, then q, “ denoted by “p : q,” is called an implication or conditional statement; p is called the hypothesis, and q is called the conclusion. To determine the truth table for p : q, consider the following conditional promise given to a math class: “If you average at least 90% on all tests, then you will earn an A.” Let p represent “Your average is at least 90% on all tests” and q represent “You earn an A.” Then there are four possibilities: AVERAGE AT LEAST 90% Yes Yes No No

EARN AN A

PROMISE KEPT

Yes No Yes No

Yes No Yes Yes

Notice that the only way the promise can be broken is in line 2. In lines 3 and 4, the promise is not broken, since an average of at least 90% was not attained. (In these cases, a student may still earn an A—it does not affect the promise either way.) This example suggests the following truth table for the conditional. p

q

p:q

T T F F

T F T F

T F T T

One can observe that the truth values for p ¿ q and q ¿ p are always the same. Also, the truth tables for p ¡ q and q ¡ p are identical. However, it is not the case that the truth tables of p : q and q : p are identical. Consider this example: Let p be “You live in New York City” and q be “You live in New York State.” Then p : q is true, whereas q : p is not true, since you may live in Albany, for example. The conditional q : p is called the converse of p : q. As the example shows, a conditional may be true, whereas its converse may be false. On the other hand, a conditional and its converse may both be true. Two other variants of a conditional occur in mathematics, the contrapositive and the inverse. Given conditional: p : q The converse of p : q is q : p. The inverse of p : q is (⬃p) : (⬃q). The contrapositive of p : q is (⬃q) : (⬃p).

Notice that the columns of truth values under the conditional p : q and its contrapositive are the same. When this is the case, we say that the two statements are logically equivalent. In general, two statements are logically equivalent when they have the same truth tables. Similarly, the converse of p : q and the inverse of p : q have the same truth table; hence, they, too, are logically equivalent. In mathematics, replacing a conditional with a logically equivalent conditional often facilitates the solution of a problem.

Example T1.2

Prove that if x2 is odd, then x is odd.

S O LU T I O N Rather than trying to prove that the given conditional is true, consider its logically equivalent contrapositive: If x is not odd (i.e., x is even), then x2 is not odd (i.e., x2 is even). Even numbers are of the form 2m, where m is a whole number. Thus the square of 2m, (2m)2 ⫽ 4m2 ⫽ 2(2m2), is also an even number since it is of the form 2n, where n ⫽ 2m2. Thus if x is even, then x2 is even. Therefore, the contrapositive of this conditional, our original problem, is also true. ■

IF AND ONLY IF The connective “p if and only if q, “ called a biconditional and written p 4 q, is the conjunction of p : q and its converse q : p. That is, p 4 q is logically equivalent to ( p : q) ¿ (q : p). The truth table of p 4 q follows. p

Notice that the biconditional p 4 q is true when p and q have the same truth values and false otherwise. Often in mathematics the words necessary and sufficient are used to describe conditionals and biconditionals. For example, the statement “Water is necessary for the formation of ice” means “If there is ice, then there is water.” Similarly, the statement “A rectangle with two adjacent sides the same length is a sufficient condition to determine a square” means “If a rectangle has two adjacent sides the same length, then it is a square.” Symbolically we have the following: p : q means q is necessary for p p : q means p is sufficient for q p 4 q means p is necessary and sufficient for q

Elementary Logic

Arguments Deductive or direct reasoning is a process of reaching a conclusion from one (or more) statements, called the hypothesis (or hypotheses). This somewhat informal definition can be rephrased using the language and symbolism in the preceding section. An argument is a set of statements in which one of the statements is called the conclusion and the rest comprise the hypothesis. A valid argument is an argument in which the conclusion must be true whenever the hypothesis is true. In the case of a valid argument, we say that the conclusion follows from the hypothesis. For example, consider the following argument: “If it is snowing, then it is cold. It is snowing. Therefore, it is cold.” In this argument, when the two statements in the hypothesis— namely “If it is snowing, then it is cold” and “It is snowing”—are both true, then one can conclude that “It is cold.” That is, this argument is valid since the conclusion follows from the hypothesis. An argument is said to be an invalid argument if its conclusion can be false when its hypothesis is true. An example of an invalid argument is the following: “If it is raining, then the streets are wet. The streets are wet. Therefore, it is raining.” For convenience, we will represent this argument symbolically as [( p : q) ¿ q ] : p. This is an invalid argument, since the streets could be wet from a variety of causes (e.g., a street cleaner, an open fire hydrant, etc.) without having had any rain. In this example, p : q is true and q may be true, while p is false. The next truth table also shows that this argument is invalid, since it is possible to have the hypothesis [( p : q) ¿ q ] true with the conclusion p false. p

T F T F

The argument with hypothesis [( p : q) ¿ ⬃p] and conclusion ⬃q is another example of a common invalid argument form, since when p is F and q is T, [( p : q) ¿ ⬃p] is T and ⬃q is F. Three important valid argument forms, used repeatedly in logic, are discussed next.

Modus Ponens: [(p : q) ¿ p] : q In words modus ponens, which is also

called the law of detachment, says that whenever a conditional statement and its hypothesis are true, the conclusion is also true. That is, the conclusion can be “detached” from the conditional. An example of the use of this law follows. If a number ends in zero, then it is a multiple of 10. Forty is a number that ends in zero. Therefore, 40 is a multiple of 10.

(NOTE: Strictly speaking, the sentence “a number ends in zero” is an “open” sentence, since no particular number is specified; hence the sentence is neither true nor false as given. The sentence “Forty is a number that ends in zero” is a true statement. Since the use of open sentences is prevalent throughout mathematics, we will permit such “open” sentences in conditional statements without pursuing an in-depth study of such sentences.)

The following truth table verifies that the law of detachment is a valid argument form.

Notice that in line 1 in the preceding truth table, when the hypothesis ( p : q) ¿ p is true, the conclusion, q, is also true. This law of detachment is used in everyday language and thought. Diagrams can also be used to determine the validity of arguments. Consider the following argument. All mathematicians are logical. Pólya is a mathematician. Therefore, Pólya is logical. This argument can be pictured using an Euler diagram (Figure T1.2). The “mathematician” circle within the “logical people” circle represents the statement “All mathematicians are logical.” The point labeled “Pólya” in the “mathematician” circle represents “Pólya is a mathematician.” Since the “Pólya” point is within the “logical people” circle, we conclude that “Pólya is logical.” The second common valid argument form follows.

Hypothetical Syllogism: [(p : q) ¿ (q : r)] : (p : r) The following argument is an application of this law:

If a number is a multiple of 8, then it is a multiple of 4. If a number is a multiple of 4, then it is a multiple of 2. Therefore, if a number is a multiple of 8, it is a multiple of 2. Hypothetical syllogism, also called the chain rule, can be verified using an Euler diagram (Figure T1.3). The circle within the “multiples of 4” circle represents the “multiples of 8” circle. Then the “multiples of 4” circle is within the “multiples of 2” circle. Thus, from the diagram, it must follow that “If a number is a multiple of 8, then it is a multiple of 2,” since all the multiples of 8 are within the “multiples of 2” circle. The following truth table also proves the validity of hypothetical syllogism. p

Observe that in rows 1, 5, 7, and 8 the hypothesis ( p : q) ¿ (q : r) is true. In both of these cases, the conclusion, p : r, is also true; thus the argument is valid. The final valid argument we study here is used often in mathematical reasoning.

Modus Tollens: [(p : q) ¿ ⬃q] : ⬃p Consider the following argument: Numbers that end in 1, 3, 7, 9

Numbers that are powers of 3

Figure T1.4

If a number is a power of 3, then it ends in a 9, 7, 1, or 3. The number 3124 does not end in a 9, 7, 1, or 3. Therefore, 3124 is not a power of 3. This argument is an application of modus tollens. Figure T1.4 illustrates this argument. All points outside the larger circle represent numbers not ending in 1, 3, 7, or 9. Clearly, any point outside the larger circle must be outside the smaller circle. Thus, since 3124 is outside the “powers of 3” circle, it is not a power of 3. In words, modus tollens says that whenever a conditional is true and its conclusion is false, the hypothesis is also false. The next truth table provides a verification of the validity of this argument form. p

Notice that row 4 is the only instance when the hypothesis ( p : q) ¿ ⬃q is true. In this case, the conclusion of [( p : q) ¿ ⬃q] : ⬃p, namely ⬃p, is also true. Hence the argument is valid. Notice how the validity of modus tollens also can be shown using modus ponens with a contrapositive: 3( p : q) ¿ ' q4 4 3( ' q : ' p) ¿ ' q4 and 3( ' q : ' p) ¿ ' q4 : ' p.

Mathematicians

All three of these valid argument forms are used repeatedly when reasoning, especially in mathematics. The first two should seem quite natural, since we are schooled in them informally from the time we are young children. For example, a parent might say to a child: “If you are a good child, then you will receive presents.” Needless to say, every little child who wants presents learns to be good. This, of course, is an application of the law of detachment. Similarly, consider the following statements: If you are a good child, then you will get a new bicycle. If you get a new bicycle, then you will have fun.

Logicians

Figure T1.5

P

M L Figure T1.6

The conclusion children arrive at is “If I am good, then I will have fun,” an application of the law of syllogism. The three argument forms we have been studying can also be applied to statements that are modified by “quantifiers,” that is, words such as all, some, every, or their equivalents. Here, again, Euler diagrams can be used to determine the validity or invalidity of various arguments. Consider the following argument: All logicians are mathematicians. Some philosophers are not mathematicians. Therefore, some philosophers are not logicians. The first line of this argument is represented by the Euler diagram in Figure T1.5. However, since the second line guarantees that there are “some” philosophers outside the “mathematician” circle, a dot is used to represent at least one philosopher who is not a mathematician (Figure T1.6). Observe that, due to the dot, there is always a

philosopher who is not a logician; hence the argument is valid. (Note that the word some means “at least one.”) Next consider the argument: All rock stars have green hair. No presidents of banks are rock stars. Therefore, no presidents of banks have green hair.

Figure T1.7

An Euler diagram that represents this argument is shown in Figure T1.7, where G represents all people with green hair, R represents all rock stars, and P represents all bank presidents. Note that Figure T1.7 allows for presidents of banks to have green hair, since the circles G and P may have an element in common. Thus the argument, as stated, is invalid since the hypothesis can be true while the conclusion is false. The validity or invalidity of the arguments given in the Exercise/Problem Set can be determined in this way using Euler diagrams. Be sure to consider all possible relationships among the sets before drawing any conclusions.

CLOCK ARITHMETIC: A MATHEMATICAL SYSTEM

The mathematical systems that we studied in Chapters 1 through 8 consisted of the infinite sets of whole numbers, fractions, and integers, together with their usual operations and properties. However, there are also mathematical systems involving finite sets.

Clock Arithmetic The hours of a 12-clock are represented by the finite set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}. The problem “If it is 7 o’clock, what time will it be in 8 hours?” can be represented as the addition problem 7 䊝 8 (we use a circle around the “plus” sign here to distinguish this clock addition from the usual addition). Since 8 hours after 7 o’clock is 3 o’clock, we write 7 䊝 8 3. Notice that 7 䊝 8 can also be found simply by adding 7 and 8, then subtracting 12, the clock number, from the sum, 15. Instead of continuing to study 12-clock arithmetic, we will simplify our discussion about clock arithmetic by considering the 5-clock next (Figure T2.1). In the 5-clock, the sum of two numbers is found by adding the two numbers as whole numbers, except that when this sum is greater than 5, 5 is subtracted. Thus, in the 5-clock, 1 䊝 2 3, 3 䊝 4 2 (i.e., 3 4 5), and 3 䊝 3 1. Since 1 䊝 5 1, 2 䊝 5 2, 3 䊝 5 3, 4 䊝 5 4, and 5 䊝 5 5, the clock number 5 acts like the additive identity. For this reason, it is common to replace the clock number with a zero. Henceforth, 0 will be used to designate the clock number. Addition in the 5-clock is summarized in the table in Figure T2.2. 5 4

4 4 0 1 2 3

Figure T2.2

It can be shown that 5-clock addition is a commutative, associative, and closed binary operation. Also, 0 is the additive identity, since a 䊝 0 a for all numbers a in the 5-clock. Finally, every 5-clock number has an opposite or additive inverse: 1 䊝 4 0 (the identity), so 4 and 1 are opposites of each other; 2 䊝 3 0, so 2 and 3 are opposites of each other; and 0 䊝 0 0, so 0 is its own opposite. Subtraction in the 5-clock can be defined in three equivalent ways. First, similar to the take-away approach for whole numbers, a number can be subtracted by counting backward. For example, 2 䊞 4 3 on the 5-clock, since counting backward 4 from 2 yields 1, 0, 4, 3. One can also use the missing-addend approach, namely 2 䊞 4 x if and only if 2 4 䊝 x. Since 4 䊝 3 2, it follows that x 3. Finally, 2 䊞 4 can be found by the adding-the-opposite method; that is, 2 䊞 4 2 䊝 1 3, since 1 is the opposite of 4. 923

Multiplication in clock arithmetic is viewed as repeated addition. In the 5-clock, 3 䊟 4 4 䊝 4 䊝 4 2. The 5-clock multiplication table is shown in Figure T2.3. As with addition, there is a shortcut for finding products. For example, to find 3 䊟 4 in the 5-clock, first multiply 3 and 4 as whole numbers. This result, 12, exceeds 5, the number of the clock. In the 5-clock, imagine counting 12 starting with 1, namely, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2. Here you must go around the circle twice (2 5 10) plus two more clock numbers. Thus 3 䊟 4 2. Also, notice that 2 is the remainder when 12 is divided by 5. In general, to multiply in any clock, first take the wholenumber product of the two clock numbers. If this product exceeds the clock number, divide by the clock number—the remainder will be the clock product. Thus 7 䊟 9 in the 12-clock is 3, since 63 leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 12. As with clock addition, clock multiplication is a commutative and associative closed binary operation. Also, 1 䊟 n n 䊟 1 n, for all n, so 1 is the multiplicative identity. Since 1 䊟 1 1, 2 䊟 3 1, and 4 䊟 4 1, every nonzero element of the 5-clock has a reciprocal or multiplicative inverse. Notice that 0 䊟 n 0 for all n, since 0 is the additive identity (zero); this is consistent with all of our previous number systems, namely zero times any clock number is zero. Division in the 5-clock can be viewed using either of the following two equivalent approaches: (1) missing factor or (2) multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor. For example, using (1), 2 3 n if and only if 2 3 䊟 n. Since 3 䊟 4 2, it follows that n 4. Alternatively, using (2), 2 3 2 䊟 2 4, since 2 is the reciprocal of 3 in the 5-clock. Although every nonzero number in the 5-clock has a reciprocal, this property does not hold in every clock. For example, consider the multiplication table for the 6-clock (Figure T2.4). Notice that the number 1 does not appear in the “2” row. This means that there is no number n in the 6-clock such that 2 䊟 n 1. Also consider 2 in the 12-clock and the various multiples of 2. Observe that they are always even; hence 1 is never a multiple of 2. Thus 2 has no reciprocal in the 12-clock. This lack of reciprocals applies to every n-clock, where n is a composite number. For example, in the 9-clock, the number 3 (as well as 6) does not have a reciprocal. Thus, in composite number clocks, some divisions are impossible.

Clock arithmetics are examples of finite mathematical systems. Interestingly, some of the ideas found in clock arithmetics can be extended to the (infinite) set of integers. In clock arithmetic, the clock number is the additive identity (or the zero). Thus a natural association of the integers with the 5-clock, say, can be obtained by wrapping the integer number line around the 5-clock, where 0 corresponds to 5 on the 5-clock, 1 with 1 on the clock, 1 with 4 on the clock, and so on (Figure T2.5). In this way, there are infinitely many integers associated with each clock number. For example, in the 5-clock in Figure T2.5, the set of integers associated with 1 is { .. . , 14, 9, 4, 1, 6, 11, . . .}. It is interesting to note that the difference of any two of the integers in this set is a multiple of 5. In general, this fact is expressed symbolically as follows:

DEFINITION Congruence Mod m Let a, b, and m be integers, m 2. Then a ⬅ b mod m if and only if m 兩 (a b). In this definition, we need to use an extended definition of divides to the system of integers. We say that a 兩 b, for integers a (⫽ 0) and b, if there is an integer x such that ax b. The expression a ⬅ b mod m is read a is congruent to b mod m. The term “mod m” is an abbreviation for “modulo m.” Using the definition, determine which are true. Justify your conclusion. b. 5 ⬅ 11 mod 6 c. 5 ⬅ 14 mod 6 d. 7 ⬅ 22 mod 5

Example T2.3 a. 13 ⬅ 7 mod 2 S O LU T I O N

a. 13 ⬅ 7 mod 2 is true, since 13 7 6 and 2 兩 6. b. 5 ⬅ 11 mod 6 is true, since 5 11 6 and 6 兩 6. c. 5 ⬅ 14 mod 6 is false, since 5 14 19 and 6 ⱈ 19. d. 7 ⬅ 22 mod 5 is true, since 7 (22) 15 and 5 兩 15.

■

If the “mod m” is omitted from the congruence relation a ⬅ b mod m, the resulting expression, a ⬅ b, looks much like the equation a b. In fact, congruences and equations have many similarities, as can be seen in the following seven results. (For simplicity, we will omit the “mod m” henceforth unless a particular m needs to be specified. As before, m 2.)

Clock Arithmetic: A Mathematical System 1. a ⬅ a for all clock numbers a. This is true for any m, since a a 0 and m 兩 0. 2. If a ⬅ b, then b ⬅ a. This is true since if m 兩 (a b), then m 兩 (a b) or m 兩 (b a). 3. If a ⬅ b and b ⬅ c, then a ⬅ c. The justification of this is left for the Problem Set, Part A, 10. 4. If a ⬅ b, then a c ⬅ b c. If m 兩 (a b), then m 兩 (a b c c), or m 兩 [(a c) (b c)]; that is, a c ⬅ b c. 5. If a ⬅ b, then ac ⬅ bc. The justification of this is left for the Problem Set, Part B, 12. 6. If a ⬅ b and c ⬅ d, then ac ⬅ bd. Results 5 and 3 can be used to justify this as follows: If a ⬅ b, then ac ⬅ bc by result 5. Also, if c ⬅ d, then bc ⬅ bd by result 5. Since ac ⬅ bc and bc ⬅ bd, we have ac ⬅ bd by result 3. 7. If a ⬅ b and n is a whole number, then an ⬅ bn. This can be justified by using result 6 repeatedly. For example, since a ⬅ b and a ⬅ b (using a ⬅ b and c ⬅ d in result 6), we have aa ⬅ bb or a2 ⬅ b2. Continuing, we obtain a3 ⬅ b3, a4 ⬅ b4, and so on. Congruence mod m can be used to solve a variety of problems. We close this section with one such problem.

Example T2.4

What are the last two digits of 330?

S O LU T I O N The number 330 is a large number, and its standard form will not fit on

calculator displays. However, suppose that we could find a smaller number, say n, that did fit on a calculator display so that n and 330 have the same last two digits. If n and 330 have the same last two digits, then 330 n has zeros in its last two digits, and vice versa. Thus we have that 100 兩 (330 n), or 330 ⬅ n mod 100. We now proceed to find such an n. Since 330 can be written as (36)5, let’s first consider 36 729. Because the last two digits of 729 are 29, we can write 36 ⬅ 29 mod 100. Then, from result 7, (36)5 ⬅ 295 mod 100. Since 295 20,511,149 and 20,511,149 ⬅ 49 mod 100, by result 3 we can conclude that (36)5 ⬅ 49 mod 100. Thus, 330 ends in 49. ■

Karen’s analogy is good. {0, 1) is not closed under addition. An operation usually “links” two different numbers that are “inside the room.” It is also allowed to link a number to itself, for example, 1 1 2, which is “outside the room.”

23. 3 7 4. To find the answer 4 we had to go “outside the room,” as the student in the previous problem said. Even if only one answer takes us “outside the room,” that is enough to prove that the closure property does not hold for the whole numbers under subtraction by showing one counterexample.

43. This will always work if the student remembers to affix the zero at the end. The reason it works is because multiplying by 5 is the same as multiplying by 10 and then dividing by 2. This student is just dividing by 2 first, then multiplying by 10.

46. Many answers are possible. Most future teachers enjoy seeing different methods from the ones they are familiar with. Yet sometimes the same teachers feel these other methods should only be used as enrichment for gifted students. Ironically enough, this means that the gifted students get to use the concrete methods in addition to the abstract (standard algorithms) while the students who are struggling, and who might benefit the most from concrete methods, are forced to work only with the abstract methods. 47. The distributive property is used here. 345 * 27 = = = =

Answers 3. Assume that both x and y are odd. Then x 2m 1 and y 2n 1 for whole numbers m and n. Thus x2 4m2 4m 1 and y 2 4n2 4n 1, or x2 y 2 4(m2 n2 m n) 2, which has a factor of 2 but not 4. Therefore, it cannot be a square, since it only has one factor of 2.

20. The only digits in base four are 0, 1, 2, 3. In any number base, the number of digits possible is equal to the number used as the base. Since 0 is always the first digit, the last digit that can be used for any number base is one less than the number. For example, in base ten (our number base) there are ten different digits and the greatest is 9, which is one less than ten.

21. To subtract 4 from 1, you need to regroup from the fives place. That makes the 1 a 6, and when you subtract 4, the answer is 2. To subtract the 3 from the 1 (which was previously a 2) in the fives place, you need to regroup from the twenty-fives place. That makes the 1 a 6, and when you subtract 3 the answer is 3. In the twentyfives place you subtract 2 from 3 (which was previously a 4) and the answer is 1. So the final answer is 132five.

17. The advantage of the standard algorithm is that it is short. The disadvantage is that because of its brevity, it loses some meaning. The advantage of the lattice is that all of the multiplication is done first and then all of the addition, which eliminates some confusion. The disadvantage is its length.

The divisors of 36 have the same prime factors as 36, and they appear at most as many times as they appear in the prime factorization of 36. e. It has at most two 13s and five 29s and has no other prime factors. 16. For 5, 5 兩 10(a 䡠 10 b) or 5 兩 (a 䡠 102 b 䡠 10); therefore, if 5 兩 c, then 5 兩 (a 䡠 102 b 䡠 10 c). Similar for 10.

34. Use a variable; the numbers a, b, a b, a 2b, 2a 3b, 3a 5b, 5a 8b, 8a 13b, 13a 21b , 21a 34b have a sum of 55a 88b, which is 11(5a 8b), or 11 times the seventh number. 35. a.

Conjecture: If 7 兩 abcd, then 7 兩 bcd,00a. Proof: Using expanded form, we know: bcd,00a + abcd = (100,000b + 10,000c + 1000d + a) + (1000a + 100b + 10c + d) = 100,100b + 10,010c + 1001d + 1001a = 7(14,300b + 1430c + 143d + 143a)

Composite numbers greater than 4 19. 333,333,331 has a factor of 17. 20. p(0) 17, p(1) 19, p(2) 23, p(3) 29: p(16) 162 16 17 16(17) 17 is not prime. 21. a. They are all primes. b. The diagonal is made up of the numbers from the formula n2 n 41. 22. The numbers with an even number of ones have 11 as a factor. Also, numbers that have a multiple-of-three number of ones (e.g., 111) have 3 as a factor. That leaves the numbers with 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17 ones to factor. 23. Only 7( 5 2). For the rest, since one of the two primes would have to be even, 2 is the only candidate, but the other summand would then be a multiple of 5. 24. a. 5, 13, 17, 29, 37, 41, 53, 61, 73, 89, and 97. b. 5 1 4, 13 9 4, 17 1 16, 29 4 25, 37 1 36, 41 16 25, 53 4 49, 61 25 36, 73 9 64, 89 25 64, 97 16 81 25. There are no other pairs, since every even number besides 2 is composite. 26. 3 and 5, 17 and 19, 41 and 43, 59 and 61, 71 and 73, 101 and 103, 107 and 109, 137 and 139, 149 and 151, 179 and 181, 191 and 193, 197 and 199

Thus, 7 兩 (bcd,00a abcd). Since 7 兩 abcd, we know 7 兩 bcd,00a. 43. 289 172 is the first non-prime. 44. 11 兩 [a (1001) b(99) c(11) a b c d] if and only if 11 兩 (a b c d). Therefore, we only need to check the a b c d part. 45. 11 101,010,101 1,111,111,111 13 8,547,008,547 111,111,111,111 17 65,359,477,124,183 1,111,111,111,111,111 46. a. n 10

47. n 16; p(17) 323 17 䡠 19, composite, p(18) 359, prime 48. When we say 4 兩 12, we are making the statement “4 divides evenly into 12” or “4 is a factor of 12.” When we say 12/4, we are indicating an operation that has an answer of 3. Similarly, we can say “24/7” and get the answer 33冫7, but we would not say “7 兩 24,” because 7 is not a factor of 24. 49. For this rule to work, the two numbers that divide 36 must be “relatively prime,” that is, have no factors in common greater than 1. The numbers 2 and 9 meet this criterion, so 18 兩 36, but 4 and 6 have 2 as a common factor, which explains why we cannot conclude that 24 兩 36.

She might draw three half-circles, then fit them together to see how many wholes she has—in this case, one whole and one half. The denominator tells you what size pieces you need; the numerator tells you how many of those pieces are gathered.

31. It depends on the problem. Many students find the idea of like denominators difficult. So for them, multiplying would be easier than adding if the adding involved two different denominators. For example, 3/4 4/10 would be a harder problem for most students 3 4 than * . 4 10 32. You might start by using examples that agree with the student’s conjecture. For example, if you have 3/10 and 4/10, then 4/10 is larger. If you have 3/7 and 3/8, then 3/7 is larger. So the student’s rules work if the denominators are equal and the numerators are different, and vice versa. But what if you have 4/5 and 5/6? Now the student’s two rules are in conflict. At this point the student needs to be able to express the two fractions with common denominators (or numerators) or reach for a calculator and compare decimals.

If the sale was for 60% off, then the amount you are paying for the shirt is 40% off the original price. So the original price is 27.88 ⫼ 0.40. But the amount saved is 60% of the 27.88 original price. That is, 0.60 ⫻ = $41.82 is the amount saved. 0.40 45. The two percents are being taken on two different bases. The first 20% is based on $17,888, the cost of the GM. 20% of $17,888 equals $3,577.60, which means the car was listed at $21,465.60. The second 20% is based on that list price. 20% of $21,465.60 is $4.293.12. This is more than $3,577.50. If the dealer takes that off the list price, he will be selling the car for $17,172.48. This is below cost—a good deal for you!

37. The student’s assumption that xyz is negative is a problem. The answer may be positive, negative, or zero depending on x, y, and z. The negative sign in front of the xyz should be read “opposite” to try to eliminate confusion. 38. It is true that the Zero Divisors Property says that when ab 0 then a 0 or b 0. In mathematics that means any of three situations: (1) a 0 and b ⫽ 0, (2) a ⫽ 0 and b 0, or (3) a and b both equal 0. However, when we say 3 0 or x 0, we can use the fact that we know 3 ⫽ 0 to conclude that we have situation (2), so x must be 0.

PROBLEMS WHERE THE STRATEGY “USE CASES” IS USEFUL 1. Case 1: odd even odd even. Case 2: even odd even odd. Since only Case 1 has an even sum, two of the numbers must be odd. 2. m2 n2 is positive when m2 ⬎ n2. Case 1: m ⬎ 0, n ⬎ 0. Here m must be greater than n. Case 2: m ⬎ 0, n ⬍ 0. Here m ⬎ n. Case 3: m ⬍ 0, n ⬎ 0. Here m ⬎ n. Case 4: m ⬍ 0, n ⬍ 0. Here m ⬍ n. 3. Case 1: If n 5m, then n2 25m2 and hence is a multiple of 5. Case 2: If n 5m 1, then n2 25m2 10m 1, which is one more than a multiple of 5. Case 3: If n 5m 2, then n2 25m2 20m 4, which is 4 more than (hence one less than) a multiple of 5. Case 4: If n 5m 3, then n2 25m2 30m 9, which is one less than a multiple of 5. Case 5: If n 5m 4, then n2 25m2 40m 16, which is one more than a multiple of 5.

26. Jennifer may believe that the “law of averages” is about to catch up with Melissa; since the probability of heads or tails is 50–50, getting 5 tails in a row means it is “time” to get a head. Karen may be thinking that if Melissa got 5 tails in a row, the coin may not be a fair coin, which would make the probability of getting a tail much greater than the probability of getting a head. The fact is, if the coin is a fair coin, the odds of getting a head or a tail on the next toss is still 1/2.

27. Herman’s Dad will have 16 different possible outfits, if varying just one item of clothing qualifies as a different outfit. This can be illustrated with a tree diagram. 28. Because the events of drawing a king and a heart are not mutually exclusive, the probabilities cannot simply be added as Freda suggests. Since only one action is taking place, Mattie’s suggestion of multiplying the probabilities would be incorrect. The correct answer would be 1/52 because there is only one king of hearts in a deck of 52 cards.

By having the student explain their understanding of factorials, the misunderstanding could be revealed and dealt with. It would also be important to have the student go through the process of simplifying the expression to assure that there are not any further misunderstandings.

15. In a bag place 4 pieces of paper numbered 1–4. Draw from the bag 7 times (with replacement), keeping track of which numbers are drawn. At the end of the 7 draws, if all 4 numbers have been drawn, record a “yes” for the trial. Repeat this process at least 20 times, recording “yes” or “no” at the end of each trial. After all of the trials, compute the number of “yeses” divided by the number of trials. This will be the experimental probability of getting all 4 prizes in 7 tries.

25. Donna is correct that any triangle can tessellate the plane, but it is also true that any quadrilateral can tessellate the plane, even the concave quadrilateral shown. The easiest way to explain this is by rotating the original figure 180⬚ about each side. This process can be continued in every direction. The fact that the four angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360⬚ means that if you have all four angles represented in each vertex of the tessellation, there will be no gaps.

The area of this rectangle would be 20 times h. Since the length of h must be less than 16, the area is less than 320 in2.

12. Cutting off one piece with a cut perpendicular between two bases and reassembling gives us a rectangle. The two sides of the rectangle correspond to the base and height of the parallelogram and thus the formula follows. 13. It aids in comparing and converting measurements of volume, capacity, and mass; for example, 1 cm3 of volume equals 1 mL and, if water, weighs 1 g. 14. The convertibility of the metric system makes it easier to learn because the prefixes have the same meaning for all measurements, and converting between measurements involves factors of 10 and thus just movement of the decimal point.

2. AB ⬵ CB (rhombus), ∠ABE 艑 ∠CBE (䉭ABD 艑䉭CBD, so vertex angle bisected by diagonal), BE ⬵ BE (common side), 䉭ABE 艑䉭CBE (SAS), so ∠AEB 艑 ∠CEB (corresponding parts). Thus AC is perpendicular to BD, since ∠AEB and ∠CEB are congruent and supplementary. 3. Since STUV is a rhombus, it has 4 congruent sides. We need to show that it has 4 right angles. Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, opposite angles ∠S and ∠U are congruent (right angles) and adjacent angles are supplementary; ∠V and ∠T are thus right angles. 4. Since AB ‘ CD, we have ∠EBA 艑 ∠EDC and ∠EAB 艑 ∠ECD. Also, AB ⬵ CD. Therefore, 䉭EAB 艑䉭ECD (ASA congruence property). By corresponding parts, AE ⬵ CE and BE ⬵ DE. 5. Using the SSS congruence property, construct 䉭ABC, where AB ⫽ a, BC ⫽ b, and AC ⫽ d. Using AC as one side, similarly construct 䉭CDA, where CD ⫽ a and DA ⫽ b. ABCD will be the desired parallelogram.

19. a. 22 b. 䉭AEC and 䉭EBC are both isosceles triangles sharing base angle ∠ECB and are therefore similar by AA similarity property. Corresponding sides are thus proportional, so AE/EB ⫽ EC/BC or a/x ⫽ x/b. 20. Lay the piece diagonally across the ruled paper so that the edge of the piece acts as a transversal. If the piece crosses six parallel lines, portions of the strip between them will be congruent.

6. SV ⬵ TU (all sides are congruent), ST ⬵ TS, and TV ⬵ SU (diagonals congruent), so 䉭STV 艑䉭TSU (SSS congruence property). Thus supplementary angles ∠TSV and ∠STU (adjacent angles of parallelogram are supplementary) are also congruent (corresponding parts of congruent triangles). Therefore, ∠TSV and ∠STU are both right angles. Similarly, ∠SVU and ∠TUV are right angles. Thus, STUV is a square. 7. Construct an equilateral 䉭ABC using side length a. Using AC as one side, construct equilateral 䉭CDA. ABCD is the desired rhombus. 8. Construct AB, the length of the longer base. Construct a segment whose length is a ⫺ b and bisect this segment. Mark off an arc centered at A with length (a ⫺ b)/2, intersecting AB at R, and an arc centered at B with the same length, intersecting AB at S. At R and S construct segments perpendicular to AB. With compass set at length c, mark off an arc centered at B, intersecting perpendicular from S at point C. Similarly, draw an arc from A, intersecting the perpendicular from R at point D. ABCD is the desired isosceles trapezoid. 9. AD/AC ⫽ AC/AB (AC is geometric mean) and ∠A 艑 ∠A, so 䉭ADC ⬃ 䉭ACB (SAS similarity property). Therefore, ∠ADC 艑 ∠ACB and since ∠ADC is a right angle, so is ∠ACB. Thus 䉭ABC is a right triangle. 10. a. M1M2M3M4 will be a rectangle when the diagonals PR and QS are perpendicular. b. M1M2M3M4 will be a rhombus when the diagonals PR and QS are congruent. c. M1M2M3M4 will be a square when the diagonals PR and QS are both perpendicular and congruent.

21. Two are sufficient, assuming they are correct. Some teachers may recommend constructing the third one as a check.

Thus, ∠BEA and ∠DEA are congruent supplementary angles, so each is a right angle. b. Area ⫽ (AE ⫻ BD)/2 ⫹ (CE ⫻ BD)/2 ⫽ (AC ⫻ BD)/2. 13. 䉭BAD 艑䉭BAC by SAS. Therefore, BD ⫽ BC ⫽ BC. Since 䉭ACD and 䉭BDC are both isosceles, their base angles are congruent. By addition, ∠ACB 艑 ∠ADB. Thus 䉭BAD 艑䉭BAC by SAS. Therefore, 䉭BAC 艑䉭BAC, since they are both congruent to 䉭BAD.

Hence RQ ⫽ RQ and ∠QRS 艑 ∠QRS. Thus 䉭PRQ 艑䉭PRQ. We can see this by subtracting m(∠QRS) from 90⬚, which is the measure of ∠PRS), and subtracting m(∠QRS from 90⬚, which is the measure of ∠PRS.

1. AB ‘ DC by definition of a parallelogram; ∠A and ∠D are supplementary, since they are interior angles on the same side of a transversal. Since AD ‘ BC, ∠A and ∠B are supplementary. Similarly, ∠C is supplementary to ∠B and ∠D. d 2. Slope of MN ⫽ slope of OP ⫽ , so MN ‘ OP. slope of MN ⫽ slope c b of ON ⫽ , so MP ‘ ON. Therefore MNOP is a parallelogram. a - e Í ! ! 3. Let l ⫽ AP. Then Ml (B) is on AC, since ∠BAP 艑 ∠CAP. Because AB ⫽ AC, however, we must have Ml(B) ⫽ C. Thus Ml (C) ⫽ B, so that Ml (䉭ABP) ⫽ 䉭ACP Hence ∠ABP 艑 ∠ACP. 4. Congruence proof: AB ⫽ CD, AD ⫽ CB, and BD ⫽ DB. Therefore 䉭ABD 艑䉭CDB by SSS. By corresponding parts, ∠ADB 艑 ∠CBD, so AD ‘ CB. Since AD and CB are parallel and congruent, ABCD is a parallelogram. Coordinate proof: If A, B, and D have coordinates (0, 0), (a, b), and (c, 0), respectively, then C must have coordinates (a ⫹ c, b), since both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

Similarly, m(∠P) ⫹ m(∠S) ⫹ m(∠P) ⫹ m(∠S) ⫽ 360⬚, m(∠P) ⫹ m(∠S) ⫽ 180⬚, P and S are supplementary, and PQ ‘ SR. Since both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, PQRS is a parallelogram.
