Mathematics Learner’s Material” (GMLM). Feel free to provide your complete solutions for
each problem on the spaces provided.
Topic: Arguments, Valid, Fallacy (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 281-282, #1)
1. Determine whether the following arguments are valid. If it is valid, then identify the rule of
inference which justifies its validity. Otherwise, state a counterexample or identify the type of
fallacy exhibited by the argument.
a. If x is an odd integer, then 2x + 1 is also an odd integer. If 2x + 1 is an odd integer, then
3(2x + 1) is an odd integer. Therefore, if x is an odd integer, then 3(2x + 1) is an odd integer.

b. If u is even and v is odd, then uv is even. It is found that uv is even. Therefore, u is even
and v is odd.

c. If quadrilateral ABCD is a square, then it is also a rectangle. Quadrilateral ABCD is not a


rectangle. Therefore, it is not a square.

d. If Delight publishes a dissertation with original results, then she will earn a Ph.D. She did
not publish a dissertation with original results. Therefore, she did not earn a Ph.D.

Topic: Arguments, Valid, Sound (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 282, #2 a, b, c)


2. Determine whether each of the following arguments is (a) valid and (b) sound.
a. If n is a real number with n > 2, then 𝑛2 > 4. Suppose 𝑛 ≤ 2. Then 𝑛2 ≤ 4.
b. If y is a positive number, then 𝑦 2 > 0. Suppose 𝑦 2 > 0. Then y is a positive number.

c. If √2 is a rational number, then √2 = 𝑎𝑏 for some integers a and b. It is not true that √2 = 𝑎𝑏
for some integers a and b. Therefore, √2 is not a rational number.

Topic: Propositions, Compound Propositions, Components, Connectors (GMLM, Lesson 36, page
245, #8-10)

3. Determine whether the following statements are propositions. If the proposition is a


compound proposition, identify the simple components and the logical connectors used.

Topic: Arguments, Valid, Fallacy (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 281-282, #1)
1. Determine whether the following arguments are valid. If it is valid, then identify the rule of
inference which justifies its validity. Otherwise, state a counterexample or identify the type of
fallacy exhibited by the argument.
a. If x is an odd integer, then 2x + 1 is also an odd integer. If 2x + 1 is an odd integer, then
3(2x + 1) is an odd integer. Therefore, if x is an odd integer, then 3(2x + 1) is an odd integer.
Answer: Let p: “x is an odd integer”, q: “2x + 1 is an odd integer” and r: “3(2x + 1) is an odd
integer”. In proposition form [(𝑝 → 𝑞) ∧ (𝑞 → 𝑟)] → (𝑝 → 𝑟). Hence, the argument is valid by
virtue of the “Law of Syllogism”.
b. If u is even and v is odd, then uv is even. It is found that uv is even. Therefore, u is even
and v is odd.
Answer: Let p: “u is even and v is odd” and p: “uv is even. In proposition form
[(𝑝 → 𝑞) ∧ 𝑞] → 𝑝. Hence, the argument is invalid by the “Fallacy of the Converse”.

c. If quadrilateral ABCD is a square, then it is also a rectangle. Quadrilateral ABCD is not a


rectangle. Therefore, it is not a square.
Answer: Let p: “quadrilateral ABCD is a square”, q: “quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle”. In
proposition form[(𝑝 → 𝑞) ∧ (~𝑞)] → (~𝑝). Hence, the argument is valid by virtue of the
“Modus Tollens”.
d. If Delight publishes a dissertation with original results, then she will earn a Ph.D. She did
not publish a dissertation with original results. Therefore, she did not earn a Ph.D.
Answer: Let p: “Delight publishes a dissertation with original results”, q: “Delight earn a
Ph.D.”. In proposition form[(𝑝 → 𝑞) ∧ (~𝑞)] → (~𝑝). Hence, the argument is valid by virtue of
the “Modus Tollens”.
Topic: Arguments, Valid, Sound (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 282, #2 a, b, c)
2. Determine whether each of the following arguments is (a) valid and (b) sound.
a. If n is a real number with n > 2, then 𝑛2 > 4. Suppose 𝑛 ≤ 2. Then 𝑛2 ≤ 4.
Answer: The argument is invalid as it exhibits the “Fallacy of the Inverse”, and hence it is
unsound.
b. If y is a positive number, then 𝑦 2 > 0. Suppose 𝑦 2 > 0. Then y is a positive number.
Answer: The argument is invalid as it exhibits the “Fallacy of the Converse”, and hence it is
unsound.

c. If √2 is a rational number, then √2 = 𝑎𝑏 for some integers a and b. It is not true that √2 = 𝑎𝑏
for some integers a and b. Therefore, √2 is not a rational number.
Answer: The argument is valid by “Modus Tollens”. The first premise follows from the
definition of rational numbers. It can also be shown that there are no integers a and b that
satisfy √2 = 𝑎𝑏. Hence, the argument satisfies the truth condition and is therefore sound.
Topic: Propositions, Compound Propositions, Components, Connectors (GMLM, Lesson 36, page
245, #8-10)

3. Determine whether the following statements are propositions. If the proposition is a


compound proposition, identify the simple components and the logical connectors used.
d) Timothy’s average is at least 92 and he is getting an A for the course.

Answer: Compound proposition


Simple Components: a1 : “Timothy’s average is at least 92” and a2 : “he is getting an A for
the course”
Logical Connector: a1 and a2

e) -5 is not a negative number.

Answer: Compound proposition


Simple Component: b1 : “-5 is a negative number”
Logical Connector: not b1

f) A password must be at least 6 characters long or it must be at least 8 characters long.

Answer: Compound Proposition


Simple Components: c1 : “A password must be at least 6 characters long” and c2 : “it must
be at least 8 characters long”
Logical Connector: c1 or c2

Answer Key for Teacher’s Reference
Topic: Business Loan (GMLM, Lesson 35, page 235, #1)
1. A business loan of P1,000,000 is to be repaid in full after 3 years. If the interest rate is 7%
per annum. How much should be paid after 3 years?
Solution: P = 1,000,000 j = 0.07 n=3 Find: F
F = P(1 + j)n = 1,000,000(1 + 0.07)3 = 1,000,000(1.225043) = 1,225,043.00.
Thus, the amount to be paid is P1,225,043.00.

Topic: Bond, Semi-Annual Coupon (GMLM, Lesson 35, page 237, #8)
2. What is the amount of the semi-annual coupon for a bond with a face value of P100,000
that pays 8% convertible semi-annually for its coupons?
Solution: Face Value = F = P100,000 Nominal Yield = i = 8%
Find: Amount of the semi-annual coupon
0.08
𝐹𝑟 = 100,000 ( 2
) = 100,000(0.04) = 4,000.00

Hence, the amount of the semi-annual coupon is P4,000.00.

Topic: Loan, Amortization, Outstanding Balance (GMLM, Lesson 35, page 239, #8)
3. A loan is to be amortized by paying P5,000 annually for 7 years. If interest rate is 6%
annually,
d. How much is the outstanding balance after 5 payments?
(1)
Solution: Given: R = 5,000 i(1) = 0.06 𝑗 = 𝑖 1 = 0.06
1
= 0.06

Find: Outstanding balance after 5 payments (or present value of the remaining 2
payments)
1−(1+𝑗)−2 1−(1+0.06)−2
𝐵3 = 𝑅 ∙ [ 𝑗
] = 5,000 ∙ [ 0.06
]
1−0.889996
= 5,000 ∙ [ 0.06 ] = 5,000 ∙ [1.8334] = 9,167.00
That is, the outstanding balance after the 5th payment is P9,167.00.

e. How much of the 6th payment goes to pay the interest?


Solution: The 6thpayment of P5,000 is partly used to pay for the principal, and partly to
pay for the interest.
Step 1: Get the outstanding balance after the 5th payment (the balance after the 5th
payment is what the 6th payment will be for).
Since the outstanding balance after the 5th payment is P9,167.00, we will skip to step 2.

Step 2: After the 5th payment, the outstanding balance is P9,167.00.


Since the interest rate per period is j = 0.06, then the remaining balance of P9,167.00 will
be charged an interest of (0.06)(9,167.00) = 550.02.
Thus, P550.02 of the 6th payment goes to pay the interest.

f. How much of the 6th payment goes to pay the principal?


Solution: The part that goes to pay the principal is 5,000.00 – 550.02 =P4,449.98.

Topic: Nominal Rate (GMLM, Lesson 27, page 168, #21)
1. Jun invested an amount of P100,000 where he obtained an interest of P16,000 at the end of
2 ½ years. At what nominal rate compounded semi-annually was it invested?

Solution: F = 116,000 P = 100,000 t = 2.5 years m = 2 n = mt = (2)(2.5) = 5


n 5 116,000 5
Solve: i(2) Now, F = P(1 + j) ⟶116,000 = 100,000(1 + j) ⟶100,000 = (1 + j)

(100)
116
(100)
15 116 15
⟶ = 1 + j⟶j = - 1⟶j = 1.0301 - 1 = 0.0301

So that the interest rate per conversion period is 3.01%.


(m) (2)
i i (2)
Sincej = m ⟶0.0301 = 2 ⟶i = (0.0301)(2) = 0.0602
It follows that the nominal rate compounded semi-annually is 6.02%.

Topic: Simple Interest (GMLM, Lesson 24, page 143, #20)

2. How much should you invest at 6% annual interest rate to obtain a simple interest of P72,000
in 3 years?
Solution: r = 0.06 Is = 72,000 t = 3 years
Is 72,000
Solve: P Now, Is = Prt⟶P = rt⟶P = (0.06)(3) = 400,000

Topic: Future Value (GMLM, Lesson 26, page 157, #13)


3. Cian lends P45,000 for 3 years at 5% compounded semi-annually. Find the future value and
interest of this amount.
Solution: P = 45,000 i(2) = 0.05 t = 3 years m=2 Solve: F and Ic
(2)
i 0.05
Since j = m
= 2
= 0.025, the interest rate in a conversion period is 2.5%.
From n = mt = (2)(3) = 6, we have 6 conversion periods in 3 years.
So that F = P(1+ j)n = 45,000(1 + 0.025)6 = 45,000(1.025)6 = 52,186.20.
And Ic = F – P = 52,186.20 – 45,000 = 7,186.20.
Hence, the future value is P52,186.20 and interest is P7,186.20

Topic: Rules of Inference, Arguments, Valid, Invalid, Counterexample (GMLM, Lesson 41, page 293,
#A1-3)

1. Determine whether the following arguments are valid using rules of inference. If the
argument is invalid, provide a counterexample.
a. An odd integer m is a number that can be written in the form m = 2k + 1, where k is an
integer. It is known that x and y are odd integers. Therefore, x + 2y is odd.

Proof: The first premise is a definition, and can thus be interpreted as an if-and-only-if
statement. Suppose x and y are odd integers. Then we can write x = 2k1 + 1 and y = 2k2 + 1
for some integers k1and k2.
Thus, x + 2y = (2k1 + 1) + 2(2k2 + 1) = 2k1 + 1 + 2(2k2 + 1) = 2(k1 + 2k2 + 1) + 1.
Since k1 + 2k2 + 1 is an integer (using the closure property of addition), then by Modus
Ponens on the definition of odd numbers (the first premise), we conclude that x + 2y is odd.
Therefore, the argument is valid.

b. Noel is not cooking or Noel is watching a television show. If Noel is not watching a
television show, then Noel is cooking. Therefore, Noel is not cooking.
Answer: Let c: “Noel is cooking.” and m: “Noel is watching a television show.”
In proposition form, the argument is a:{[(~c) ∨ m] ∧ [(~m)→c]}→(~c). Validity can be checked
with a truth table.

c m ~c ~m (~c) ∨ m (~m)→c [(~c) ∨ m] ∧ [(~m)→c] a

The argument is not valid since a is not a tautology. A counterexample is when c and m are
both true.
c. An even number m is a number than can be written as m = 2k, where k is an integer. It is
2
given that y is an even number. Therefore, y is also even.

Answer: Suppose y is even. Then from the first premise, we can write y = 2k for some
integer k. Furthermore, y2 = (2k)2 = 4k2 = 2(2k2).
Since k is an integer, then 2k2 is also an integer. Then by Modus Ponens with the first
premise, we conclude that y2 is also even.
Therefore, the argument is valid.

Topic: Maturity Value (GMLM, Lesson 26, page 157, #14)
1. Tenten deposited P10,000 in bank which gives 1% compounded quarterly and let it stay there
for 5 years. Find the maturity value and interest.

Solution: P = 10,000 i(4) = 0.01 t = 5 years m=4 Find: F and Ic


(4)
i 0.01
Interest rate in a conversion period is, j = m = 4 = 0.0025
Total number of conversion periods is, n = mt = (4)(5) = 20
n 20 20
F = P(1 + j) = (10,000)(1 + 0.0025) = (10,000)(1.0025) = 10,512.06
Ic = F - P = 10,512.06 - 10,000 = 512.06
Hence, the maturity value is P10,512.06 and interest is P512.06

Topic: Future Value, Simple Interest & Compound Interest (GMLM, Lesson 25, page 149, #16)
2. Nora is thinking of investing an amount of P30,000 for 2 ½ years. Find the future value based

Answer Key for Teacher’s Reference
Topic: Stocks, Par Value (GMLM, Lesson 31, page 217, #1)
1. Stockholder A got 4,500 shares of stocks from XYZ Corporation. The par value is P 150.
How much is the dividend if the percentage is 3%?
Solution: Given: Dividend Percentage = 3% Par Value = P150 Number of Shares = 4,500
Find: Dividend The dividend per share is: P150 x 0.03 = P4.50
Since there are 4,500 shares, the total dividend is = P4.50/share x 4,500 shares =
P20,250.00
In summary, Dividend = (Dividend Percentage) x (Par Value) x (No. of Shares)
= (0.03)(150)(4,500) = P20,250.00
Thus, the dividend is P20,250.00.

Topic: Stocks, Dividend Per Share (GMLM, Lesson 31, page 217, #4)
2. A financial institution will give out a dividend of P57,000,000 for its common stock.
Suppose there are 700,000 shares of common stock, how much is the dividend per share?
Solution: Given: Total Dividend = P57,000,000 Total Shares = 700,000
Find: Dividend Per Share
Total Dividend 57,000,000
Dividend Per Share = Total Shares = 700,000 = 81.43

Therefore, the dividend per share is P81.43

Topic: Compound Interest, Monthly Amortization (GMLM, Lesson 28, page 182, #16)
3. How much is the monthly amortization on an automobile loan of P900,000 to be amortized
over a 5-year period at a rate 9.5% compounded monthly?
Solution: P = 900,000 i(12) = 0.095 m = 12 j = 0.095/12 = 0.007917

Name: _______________________________ Grade & Section: __________________


Instructions: The following problems were taken from the Senior High School “General
Mathematics Learner’s Material” (GMLM). Feel free to provide your complete solutions for
each problem on the spaces provided.
Topic: Proposition Truth Table, Tautology (GMLM, Lesson 38, page 262, #2, d, e)
1. Show that the following statements are tautologies by constructing the truth table for each.
a. [p ∧ (q ∨ r)]→[(p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)]

b. [p ∨ (q ∧ r)]→[(p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ r)]

Topic: Arguments, Valid, Fallacy (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 281-282, #1, e - h)
2. Determine whether the following arguments are valid. If it is valid, then identify the rule of
inference which justifies its validity. Otherwise, state a counterexample or identify the type of
fallacy exhibited by the argument.
a. If Jason has a Ph.D. and has done a considerable amount of research, then he is qualified
for the research professor position. He was informed that he is qualified for the research
professor position. Therefore, Jason has a Ph.D. and has done a considerable amount of
research.

b. If the housing market crashes, then all of my investments will suffer. My investments have
not suffered. Therefore, the housing market has not crashed.

c. Either Derrick was not informed about the meeting or he made the decision not to attend.
Derrick was not informed about the meeting. Thus, he did not decide not to attend the
meeting.

d. It is known that f is a polynomial function and it is a one-to-one function. Therefore, f is a


one-to-one function.
Topic: Rules of Inference, Arguments, Valid, Invalid, Counterexample (GMLM, Lesson 41, page 293,
#A,5)

3. Determine whether the following arguments are valid using rules of inference. If the
argument is invalid, provide a counterexample.
If lightning strikes a tree on the farm, then all the animals will make sounds of horror. If the
thunder booms in the sky, then all the animals will run back to the stables. Lightning struck a
tree and all the animals ran back to the stables. Therefore, all animals made sounds of
horror and thunder boomed in the sky.

Topic: Proposition Truth Table, Tautology (GMLM, Lesson 38, page 262, #2, d, e)
1. Show that the following statements are tautologies by constructing the truth table for each.
c. [p ∧ (q ∨ r)]→[(p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)]

Solution:
p q r q∨r p ∧ (q ∨ r) p∧q p∧r (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r) [p ∧ (q ∨ r)]→[(p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)]

Hence, [p ∧ (q ∨ r)]→[(p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)] is a tautology.

d. [p ∨ (q ∧ r)]→[(p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ r)]
Solution:
p q r q∧r p ∨ (q ∧ r) p∨q p∨r (p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ r)] [p ∨ (q ∧ r)]→[(p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ r)]

Hence, [p ∨ (q ∧ r)]→[(p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ r)] is a tautology.

Topic: Arguments, Valid, Fallacy (GMLM, Lesson 40, page 281-282, #1, e - h)
2. Determine whether the following arguments are valid. If it is valid, then identify the rule of
inference which justifies its validity. Otherwise, state a counterexample or identify the type of
fallacy exhibited by the argument.
a. If Jason has a Ph.D. and has done a considerable amount of research, then he is qualified
for the research professor position. He was informed that he is qualified for the research
professor position. Therefore, Jason has a Ph.D. and has done a considerable amount of
research.
Answer: Let p: “Jason has a Ph.D. and has done a considerable amount of research” and p:
“Jason is qualified for the research professor position. In proposition form [(p→q) ∧ q]→p.
Hence, the argument is invalid as exhibits the “Fallacy of the Converse”.
b. If the housing market crashes, then all of my investments will suffer. My investments have
not suffered. Therefore, the housing market has not crashed.
Answer: Let p: “The housing market crashes”, q: “all of my investments suffer”. In proposition
form[(p→q) ∧ (~q)]→(~p). Hence, the argument is valid by virtue of “Modus Tollens”.
c. Either Derrick was not informed about the meeting or he made the decision not to attend.
Derrick was not informed about the meeting. Thus, he did not decide not to attend the
meeting.
Answer: Let p: “Derrick was not informed about the meeting”, q: “Derrick made the decision
not to attend”. In proposition form[(p ∨ q) ∧ (p)]→(~q). Hence, the argument is invalid as
exhibits the “Affirming the Disjunct”.
d. It is known that f is a polynomial function and it is a one-to-one function. Therefore, f is a
one-to-one function.
Answer: Let p: “It is known that f is a polynomial function”, q: “f is a one-to-one function”. In
proposition formp ∧ q→q. Hence, the argument is valid by virtue of the “Rule of
Simplification”.
Topic: Rules of Inference, Arguments, Valid, Invalid, Counterexample (GMLM, Lesson 41, page 293,
#A,5)

3. Determine whether the following arguments are valid using rules of inference. If the
argument is invalid, provide a counterexample.
If lightning strikes a tree on the farm, then all the animals will make sounds of horror. If the
thunder booms in the sky, then all the animals will run back to the stables. Lightning struck a
tree and all the animals ran back to the stables. Therefore, all animals made sounds of
horror and thunder boomed in the sky.
Answer: Let a: “Lightning struck a tree on the farm.”, b: “All the animals made sounds of
horror.”, c: “The thunder boomed in the sky.” and d: “All the animals ran back to the stables.”
Constructing a truth table below shows that the case a, b and d are true, and c is false is a
counterexample. The argument is therefore invalid.

a b c d a→b c→d a∧d b∧c (a ∧ d)→(b ∧ c)
