B. PRIMING
Suppose Aries saves 100 pesos in January; and that each month there after, he manages to save one-half more
than what he saved the previous month, how much is Aries’ savings after 10 months?
C. ACTIVITY
The World Health Organization reported that about 16 million adolescent girls between 15 and19 years of age give
birth each year. Knowing the adverse effects of adolescent child bearing on the health of the mothers as well as
their infants, a group of students from Magiting High School volunteered to help the government in its campaign for
the prevention of early pregnancy by giving lectures to 7 barangays about the WHO guidelines on teenage
pregnancy. The group started in Barangay 1 and 4 girls attended the lecture. Girls from other barangays heard
about it, so 8 girls attended from Barangay 2, 16 from Barangay 3, and so on.
a. Make a table representing the number of adolescent girls who attended the lecture from Barangay 1 to 7
assuming that the number of attendees doubles at each barangay.
b. Analyze the data in the table and create a formula. Use the formula to justify your data in the table.
D. ANALYSIS
A rubber ball is dropped on a hard surface from a height of 80 feet and bounces up and down. On each rebound, it
bounces up exactly one-half the distance it just came down. How far will the ball have travelled, if you catch it after it
reaches the top of the seventh bounce?
Solution:
We can find the total distance by substituting n with 7, a1 with 120 and r with ½ into the formula.
F. APPLICATION
Solve the following.
1. A car which cost each 500000 depreciates 15% in value each year for the first five years. What is its worth
after 5 years?
2. How many ancestors from parents to great-great-great grandparents do you have?
G. EVALUATION
Solve the following.
1. A town of 150000 citizens is growing at the rate of 2% per year. Find the population of the town 20 years
from now?
2. A construction paper is about 0.03 inches thick. Beginning with just one piece, a stack is doubled again and
again to ten times. Find the height of the final stack.
