1. Determine whether the statement is a proposition or not. Write “P” if it is a proposition and
“N” if it is not a proposition. Also, identify the truth value of those statements that are
propositions, write “T” if its truth value is true, “F” if it is false and “NA” if it is identified as
not a proposition.

Statement Proposition or not? Truth value

1. Is 3 an integer?
2. 5 −13 ≥ −25
3. 14 minus -8
4. 3 is a factor of 20
5. −27

3. Write the following statement in symbolic form using the following propositions:
p: she is smart
q: she is pretty
r: she is happily engaged
Statement Symbolic form
6. She is happily engaged and smart but not pretty.
7. She is not smart, but she is pretty and happily engaged.
8. She is neither pretty nor smart, but happily engaged.

Use Polya’s method to solve the problem below.

1. Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is 102.

Understand the problem:
a. Is it possible that one of these three numbers is a decimal or a fraction?
b. Since they are consecutive even integers, and if we let 𝑥 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 1𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟, then
how would we represent the next two even integers?
= 𝑡ℎ𝑒 2𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 and = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 3𝑟𝑑 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟
c. What operation should be used?
Devise a plan:
d. What is now our working equation?

Final answer: = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 1𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 2𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 3𝑟𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟

Look back:
e. Are they all integers?
f. Are they all even?
g. Are they consecutive?
h. Is their sum equal to 102?
