Logical Sequences

What are they?

Logical sequences are lists of numbers or elements organized by a pattern.

How to solve?

You need to:

Observe the numbers

Find the pattern

Apply the rule to the next term

Simple example:

Sequence:

3, 6, 12, 24, ?

🔍 Step by step:

3 → 6 (multiplied by 2)

6 → 12 (multiplied by 2)

12 → 24 (multiplied by 2)

👉 Pattern: multiply by 2

Answer:

24 × 2 = 48

✔️ Complete sequence:

3, 6, 12, 24, 48

Common types of patterns

➕ 1. Addition or subtraction

Example:

2, 5, 8, 11, ?

👉 always +3

Answer: 14

✖️ 2. Multiplication

Example:

2, 4, 8, 16, ?

👉 ×2

Answer: 32

🔄 3. Alternation

Example:

1, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, ?

👉 alternating pattern (1,2,3,4,5...)

Answer: 4

🧩 4. Mixed pattern

Example:

1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ?

👉 +1, +2, +3, +4...

Answer: 16

Important tip

👉 Always compare:

Differences between numbers

Multiplication or division

Repeated patterns

They are sentences that can have only two values:
✅ True (T)
❌ False (F)
There is no “more or less true”

Examples of propositions:
“2 + 2 = 4” → True
“Lisbon is in Brazil” → False
“10 is greater than 5” → True

What is NOT a proposition
Sentences that cannot be judged as true or false:
❓ Questions → “What time is it?”
📢 Commands → “Close the door”
😮 Exclamations → “What a beautiful day!”
These do NOT belong to logic

Types of propositions

Simple proposition
A single idea:
“It is raining”
“John studies”
Compound proposition
Combination of two or more ideas:
“It is raining and it is cold”
“John studies or works”

Every proposition must:
Be a declarative sentence
Have complete meaning
Be classified as T or F

⚠️ Common trap
Sentence:
“x + 2 = 5”
This is not a proposition because it depends on the value of x.

Quick summary
Proposition = sentence with a logical value (T or F)
Cannot be a question, command, or emotion
Can be simple or compound
It is the foundation of all Logic..

The death of Michael Jackson o - About MICHAEL JACKSON

Explore more about The death of Michael Jackson occurred on the morning of June 25, 2009, at his rented mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.

The Previous Night
Michael was under immense pressure due to rehearsals for the 50-show This Is It residency. He suffered from severe chronic insomnia. That night, after returning from rehearsals around 1:00 a.m., he was unable to sleep. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, administered a series of sedatives (Valium, Ativan, and Versed) throughout the early morning, but none were effective.

The Administration of Propofol
Around 10:40 a.m., in response to Michael’s desperation to rest, Murray administered 25 milligrams of Propofol diluted with lidocaine. Michael finally fell asleep. Murray later admitted that he left the room for about two minutes to go to the bathroom and make phone calls.

The Discovery of the Body
Upon returning to the room, Murray realized that Michael showed no vital signs. The doctor attempted resuscitation efforts, but emergency services were only contacted some time later. A security guard at the residence placed the call to 911 at 12:21.

The Rescue and Death
Paramedics arrived within minutes and found Michael Jackson not breathing and without a pulse. Resuscitation attempts were performed on-site and during transport to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Despite the efforts of medical teams, his death was officially declared at 2:26 p.m.

The Autopsy and Investigation
The coroner’s report determined that the cause of death was acute propofol intoxication, combined with the effects of other sedatives. The examination confirmed that Michael had Vitiligo, explaining the depigmentation of his skin, and showed scars related to previous surgeries and the 1984 accident during a commercial shoot.

Legal Consequences
In 2011, Dr. Conrad Murray was brought to trial and convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The court determined there had been gross negligence in the use of restricted medication in a home setting and a lack of proper patient monitoring...

What are compound experiments? - About MATHEMATICS EN 9TH GRADE

Explore more about What are compound experiments?
They are experiments in which more than one action happens sequentially or simultaneously.
👉 Example:
Rolling a die twice
Tossing a coin twice
Drawing balls from an urn without replacement
1. Sample space in compound experiments
When the experiment is compound, the sample space increases.
📌 Example: tossing a coin twice
Possible outcomes:
(heads, heads)
(heads, tails)
(tails, heads)
(tails, tails)
👉 Total outcomes = 4
2. Probability Calculation
General Rule
$ P(A) = \frac{\text{favorable cases}}{\text{possible cases}} $
📌 Example 1 — Coin
👉 Tossing a coin twice
Event: getting at least one head
Possible outcomes: #NL
(heads, heads)
(heads, tails)
(tails, heads)
(tails, tails)
Favorable cases = 3
$ P(A) = \frac{3}{4} $
📌 Example 2 — Dice
👉 Rolling a die twice
Event: sum equals 7
Cases Favorable:
(1,6)
(2,5)
(3,4)
(4,3)
(5,2)
(6,1)
Total possible cases:
$ 6 \times 6 = 36 $
Favorable cases = 6
$ P(A) = \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6} $
3. Probability in experiments with dependence
👉 When the outcome of one event influences another.
📌 Example (without replacement)
Drawing two balls from a box without returning the first.
If there are 5 balls:
Probability changes after the first draw
4. Probability in Independent Experiments
👉 When one event does not affect the other.
📌 Example
Tossing a coin and rolling a die
\( P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)
📌 Example
Coin (heads) and die (even number):
\( P(\text{heads}) = \frac{1}{2}
\( P(\text{even}) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
\( P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}..
