CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO PROBLEM SOLVING THINK ABOUT IT 1.1 1. 2. 3.

Inductive Specific One example is 5, which is an odd number.

SECTION 1.1 EXERCISE SOLUTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

64. The numbers are the squares of consecutive integers. 8 2 = 64. 35. Subtract 1 less than the integer subtracted from the previous integer. 13 . Add 2 to the numerator and denominator. 15 6 . Add 1 to the numerator and denominator. 7 –13. Use the pattern of adding 5, then subtracting 10 to obtain the next pair of numbers. 21. Subtract 8 from 5, add 12 to –3, subtract 16 from 9, add 20 to –7, etc., increasing the amount by 4 each time while alternating between adding and subtracting. Each image has a smaller square inside a larger square. The smaller square moves to a new position in a counterclockwise direction. The next figure is shown.
