The aim if this IA is to investigate Lacsap’s Fractions and to come up with a general statement for finding the terms. When I noticed that Lacsap was Pascal spelt backwards I decided to look for a connection with Pascal’s triangle. Pascal’s triangle is used to show the numbers of ‘n’ choose ‘r’(nCr). The row number represents the value of ‘and the column number represents the ‘r’ value. Eg. Row 3‚ colomn 2 = 3C2 = 2. I noticed that

Math Summative: Fishing Rods Fishing Rods A fishing rod requires guides for the line so that it does not tangle and so that the line casts easily and efficiently. In this task‚ you will develop a mathematical model for the placement of line guides on a fishing rod. The Diagram shows a fishing rod with eight guides‚ plus a guide at the tip of the rod. Leo has a fishing rod with overall length 230 cm. The table shown below gives the distances for each of the line guides from the tip of

sequence advances. Using excel to graph the points and loggerpro to generate an equation‚ the general statement for finding the numerator N=0.5n2+0.5n‚ n having to be greater than 0. To check the validity of the equation sample equations were used: Sample Equation: 5th Row: N=0.5(5)2+0.5(5)=15 Patterns Recognized: The first pattern that could be recognized is that the difference between the numerators of the ensuing rows is 1 more than the change between the previous numerator of the two consecutive
