Question 5.1:
The given pattern is 4;7;10;13;…4; 7; 10; 13; \dots

  1. Find the common difference between consecutive terms.

    7−4=37 - 4 = 3
    10−7=310 - 7 = 3
    13−10=313 - 10 = 3
    The common difference is 3.

    5.1.1) Write down the next term of the pattern.

  2. Add the common difference to the last given term.

    Next term =13+3=16= 13 + 3 = 16.
    The next term is 16\boxed{\text{16}}.

    5.1.2) What rule did you use to find the next term of the pattern?

  3. State the rule.

    The rule used is to add 3 to the previous term.

    5.1.3) Find term 10 of the pattern.

  4. Use the arithmetic sequence formula Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d.

    Here, a=4a = 4 (first term), d=3d = 3 (common difference), and n=10n = 10.

    T10=4+(10−1)×3T_{10} = 4 + (10-1) \times 3 T10=4+9×3T_{10} = 4 + 9 \times 3 T10=4+27T_{10} = 4 + 27 T10=31T_{10} = 31

    Term 10 is 31\boxed{\text{31}}.

    Question 5.2:
    Study the Geometric pattern below.
    Pattern 1: 1 triangle, 3 matches
    Pattern 2: 2 triangles, 5 matches
    Pattern 3: 3 triangles, 7 matches

    5.2.1) Draw pattern 4.

  5. Determine the number of matches for Pattern 4.

    The number of matches increases by 2 for each new pattern (5−3=25-3=2, 7−5=27-5=2).
    So, Pattern 4 will have 7+2=97 + 2 = 9 matches.
    Pattern 4 consists of 4 triangles arranged in a row, sharing one side between adjacent triangles, using 9 matches.

    5.2.2) Describe the rule of the pattern in your own words.

  6. State the rule.

    The rule is to add 2 matches to the previous pattern to form the next pattern.

    Question 6.1:
    Determine the value of a, b and c in the following flow diagram.
    Input →+3→\rightarrow +3 \rightarrow Output

  7. Calculate 'a'.

    For 'a', the input is 12.

    a=12+3a = 12 + 3 a=15a = 15

    The value of a is 15\boxed{\text{15}}.

  8. Calculate 'b'.

    For 'b', the output is 21.

    b+3=21b + 3 = 21 b=21−3b = 21 - 3 b=18b = 18

    The value of b is 18\boxed{\text{18}}.

  9. Calculate 'c'.

    For 'c', the input is -3.

    c=−3+3c = -3 + 3 c=0c = 0

    The value of c is 0\boxed{\text{0}}.

    Question 6.2:
    Use the following formula to complete the table below: P=5Q+2P = 5Q + 2

  10. Calculate P when Q=2Q=2.

    P=5(2)+2P = 5(2) + 2 P=10+2P = 10 + 2 P=12P = 12
  11. Calculate P when Q=3Q=3.

    P=5(3)+2P = 5(3) + 2 P=15+2P = 15 + 2 P=17P = 17
  12. Calculate Q when P=37P=37.

    37=5Q+237 = 5Q + 2 37−2=5Q37 - 2 = 5Q 35=5Q35 = 5Q Q=355Q = \frac{35}{5} Q=7Q = 7
  13. Calculate P when Q=10Q=10.

    P=5(10)+2P = 5(10) + 2 P=50+2P = 50 + 2 P=52P = 52

    The completed table is:
    Input (Q) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 7 | | 10
    Output (P)| 7 | 12 | 17 | 37 | | 52
    The values to complete the table are P=12 (for Q=2), P=17 (for Q=3), Q=7 (for P=37), P=52 (for Q=10)\boxed{\text{P=12 (for Q=2), P=17 (for Q=3), Q=7 (for P=37), P=52 (for Q=10)}}.
