Mathematics in the Modern World
UPDATED Actual Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Chapter 1 - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Nature of Mathematics
Nature of Mathematics - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A. Patterns and Numbers in Nature and
World
B. Fibonacci Sequence
2. Exponential Growth Model
A. Patterns and Numbers in Nature and World - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Patterns are
regular, repeated, or recurring forms or designs which are commonly observed in natural
objects such as six-fold symmetry of snowflakes, hexagonal structure, and formation of
honeycombs, tiger's stripes and hyena's spots. Humans are hard wired to recognize patterns
and by studying them we discovered the underlying mathematical principles behind nature's
designs.
Patterns and Numbers in Nature and World - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Human mind and
culture have developed a formal system of thought for recognizing, classifying, and
exploiting patterns called Mathematics.
Patterns and Numbers in Nature and World - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔By using
Mathematics to organize and systematize our ideas about patterns, we have discovered a great
secret: nature's patterns are not just there to be admired, they are vital clues to the rules that
governs natural processes.
Examples of Patterns and Numbers in Nature and World - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. The
snowflake
2. The honeycomb
3. The sunflower
4. The snail's shell
5. Flower's petals
6. Weather
, Snowflake - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔a flake of snow, especially a feathery ice crystal,
typically displaying delicate sixfold symmetry.
Honeycomb - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔a structure of rows of hexagonal wax cells, formed
by bees in their hive for the storage of honey, pollen, and their eggs.
Sunflower - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔any plant of the genus Helianthus having large
flower heads with dark disk florets and showy yellow rays
Weather - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular
time and place.
Exponential Growth Model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Population growth and bacterial
decay can be modeled by the exponential growth or decay formula.
Exponential Growth Model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔growth model that estimates a
population's future size after a period of time based on the intrinsic growth rate and the
number of reproducing individuals currently in the population
Exponential Growth Model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔a mathematical description of
idealized, unregulated population growth
Exponential Growth Model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Model's rate of change increases
exponentially
Decay Formula - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A=P(1-r)^t
B. Fibbonacci Sequence - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔
Sequence - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔an ordered list of numbers called terms that may have
repeated values. The arrangement of these terms is set by definite rule. Applying the rule to
the previous terms of the sequence generates the different terms of the sequence.
