Study Notes
Mathematical Patterns and Geometry
- The most frequently utilized mathematical pattern is the Fibonacci sequence, which appears in various natural phenomena.
- In geometry, a transformation refers to a process that alters the position, size, or shape of a figure.
- When naming transformed shapes, common practice involves using the original shape's name with a prefix (e.g., triangle A becomes triangle A' after transformation).
Types of Transformations
- A pattern that includes repeating regular polygons without gaps or overlaps is known as a tessellation.
- A translation transformation shifts a figure from one location to another without altering its orientation or size.
- The transformation that changes a shape's position but not its size is known as isometry.
Fibonacci and Number Systems
- Fibonacci's real name is Leonardo of Pisa.
- His nickname, "Fibonacci," means "son of Bonacci," indicating his father's name.
- Fibonacci helped spread the Hindu-Arabic numeral system throughout Europe, replacing the Roman numeral system.
Fibonacci Sequence
- The first two terms in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1.
- Fields such as biology benefit from Fibonacci numbers to analyze growth patterns in nature.
- Fibonacci numbers are also utilized in computer science, financial modeling, and art due to their unique mathematical properties.
- The simple rule for generating the Fibonacci Sequence is that each term is the sum of the two preceding terms (e.g., F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)).
Arithmetic Sequences
- The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula tn = a + (n - 1)d, where 'a' is the first term and 'd' is the common difference.
- In the arithmetic sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ..., the 14th term is 40.
- The 6th term in the Fibonacci Sequence is 5.
- In the formula tn = a + (n - 1)d, the variables represent:
- 'tn' = the nth term
- 'a' = the first term
- 'd' = the common difference
- 'n' = the term number
- For an arithmetic sequence where the first term is 5 and the common difference is -6, the 14th term is calculated to be -79.
