Investments frequently involve a series of payments. Sometimes, it is

extremely beneficial to plan ahead if one is going to be faced with large expenses
in the future.

Henry David Thoreau suggested the best investment one can avail.

What is this investment?

To find the answer, cross out the box that does not give a true statement.
The remaining boxes give the answer.

If a number is not rational, 6m2 is equal to 23 • 33

  it is called irrational. when M = 6.

 These animals do stretching when they wake up. They also appear to yawn
in a very human manner before talking up the task of the day. They can lift 50
times their own body weights. They have the largest brain in proportion to their
body size.

To find these animals, find the product in each problem. Find the answer
under a blank. Write the letter of the problem on the blank.

T (5x - 2)3

FEAR OF MATH ?

A phobia is a morbid fear that is out of proportion to the object of fear.

True phobias usually arise from some incident in childhood when a person has been
afraid of some object and has developed an irrational fear that persists into
adulthood. Nowadays, phobias can be cured by talking desensitization course.

There are many phobias that are given names by psychologists. To find out,
simplify each expression by applying theorems on radicals. The problem gives the
object of the phobia and the answer gives the medical term. Draw a line connecting
the problem and the answer.

The banana cannot reproduce by itself. It can only be propagated by the

hands of man. Further, the banana is not a tree; it is an herb, the largest known of
all plants without a woody stem or solid trunk.
The number one banana - growing country, which produces 5 139 000 tons annually can
be determined by matching column A and column B. write the letter on the blank provided for
before each number.

A B

__1. 3x + 12 E. (x + 4)²

__2.x ² - 16 M. 3(x + 12)

 Prerequisite 9 – Solving Quadratic Equations

The insect, or insects, are example of such animals as grasshoppers, files,

butterflies, beetles, ants, and fleas. All these have three pairs of legs, never more
or never fewer. The body of an insect is divided into three distinct pairs: head,
thorax and abdomen.

Below are some fascinating facts about insects. To find out, solve for x in the
following quadratic equations. Solutions to the problem are written inside the
braces and a fact about the insect is written after. If the number in the braces is a
solution to the problem, write true on the blank provided before each number. If
not, write false. True statements or equations name true facts about insects.

__1. x² - 100 = 0; {±10}  A housefly lives only two weeks.

 Queen termites may live for fifty
