- Consider multiplying a two-digit number by 11. The specific examples given are:
-
Conjecture:
- A conjecture states that when multiplying a two-digit number by 11, the first and last digits of the product are the digits of the original number, e.g., .
- The questions to answer are:
- (a) Is this conjecture reasonable?
- (b) Can you find a counterexample that disproves this example?
- (c) If the conjecture seems to be valid, can you prove it?
- (d) If this conjecture is invalid, can you state the conditions under which it is not valid?
-
Additional Questions:
- Do you agree or disagree with the following conjectures?
- (a) The sum of a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 6 must be a multiple of 6.
- (b) In any multiple of 9, the sum of the digits must also be 9.
- (c) All natural numbers can be written as the sum of consecutive natural numbers (e.g., , ).
- Do you agree or disagree with the following conjectures?
