Sure, here are some solved problems for each of the topics you mentioned:

a. Golden Ratio:

1. Find the value of x that satisfies the equation (x/5) = (5/(x-5)) using the golden ratio.
Solution: We can use the golden ratio to solve this equation by setting x-5 equal to the golden ratio (1.618...). So we have x-5 = 1.618..., which gives us x = 6.618....

2. A rectangle has a length of 8 units and a width of 5 units. What is the ratio of the length to the width that approximates the golden ratio?
Solution: The golden ratio is approximately 1.618, so we can divide the length of the rectangle (8) by 1.618 to get the approximate value of the width. This gives us a width of approximately 4.94 units. Therefore, the ratio of length to width is approximately 8:4.94, which is close to the golden ratio.

b. Translating English Sentences into Mathematical Sentences:

1. The product of 5 and a number is 35. Write this sentence in the form of an equation.
Solution: Let x be the number. Then, the sentence can be written as 5x = 35.

2. Three more than twice a number is equal to 17. Write this sentence in the form of an equation.
Solution: Let x be the number. Then, the sentence can be written as 2x + 3 = 17.

D. Compound Statements into Symbolic Form:

1. If it rains, then the ground will get wet. Write this statement in symbolic form.
Solution: Let P stand for "It rains" and let Q stand for "The ground gets wet". Then, the statement can be written as P → Q.

2. John is a doctor and he is rich. Write this statement in symbolic form.
Solution: Let P stand for "John is a doctor" and let Q stand for "John is rich". Then, the statement can be written as P ∧ Q.

E. Symbolic Form into Compound Statement:

1. Write the statement ¬(P ∧ Q) in words.
Solution: The statement ¬(P ∧ Q) can be read as "not both P and Q".

2. Write the statement P ∨ (Q ∧ ¬R) in words.
Solution: The statement P ∨ (Q ∧ ¬R) can be read as "either P is true, or both Q and not R are true".

F. Construction of Truth Table:

1. Construct a truth table for the statement P → (Q ∧ R).
Solution:

| P | Q | R | Q ∧ R | P → (Q ∧ R) |
|---|---|---|-------|-------------|
| T | T | T | T | T |

| T | F | F | F | F |
| F | T | T | T | T |
| F | T | F | F | T |
| F | F | T | F | T |
| F | F | F | F | T |

2. Construct a truth table for the statement (P ∧ Q) → (Q ∨ R).
Solution:

| P | Q | R | P ∧ Q | Q ∨ R | (P ∧ Q) → (Q ∨ R) |
|---|---|---|-------|-------|------------------|
| T | T | T | T | T | T |

G. Inverse, Converse, and Contrapositive:

1. If P then Q. Write the inverse of this statement.
Solution: The inverse of "If P then Q" is "If not P then not Q".

2. If P then Q. Write the contrapositive of this statement.
Solution: The contrapositive of "If P then Q" is "If not Q then not P".

a. Golden Ratio:

1. Problem: Find the length of the shorter segment in a line segment divided by the golden ratio, if the length of the longer segment is 10 units.
Solution: Let the shorter segment be x units, then the longer segment is (1 + φ)x units (where φ is the golden ratio). According to the given information, (1 + φ)x = 10. Solving for x, we get x = 10/1.618 ≈ 6.18 units.

2. Problem: A rectangle has a length-to-width ratio of the golden ratio. If the width is 2 units, find the length of the rectangle.
Solution: Let the length of the rectangle be x units. Then, the length-to-width ratio is φ (golden ratio), i.e., x/2 = φ. Solving for x, we get x = 2φ = 2(1 + √5)/2 = √5 + 1 units.

3. Problem: A pentagon is said to be a golden pentagon if its sides and diagonals are in the golden ratio. Find the ratio of the length of a diagonal to the length of a side in a golden pentagon.
Solution: Let the length of a side of the golden pentagon be x units. Then, the length of a diagonal is (1 + φ)x units. The required ratio is (1 + φ)x/x = 1 + φ ≈ 2.618.

4. Problem: A golden spiral is constructed by drawing quarter circles inside squares of increasing sizes, such that the ratio of the length of one side of a square to the length of the adjacent side is the golden ratio. Find the angle formed by the spiral at each quarter turn.
Solution: The golden spiral is formed by quarter circles whose radii increase in the golden ratio. The angle formed by the spiral at each quarter turn is the same as the angle formed by the tangent to the circle at the point where the spiral intersects it. This angle is φ - 1 ≈ 0.618 radians.

5. Problem: A golden trapezoid has two sides of length 5 units and 8 units, and a height of 4 units. Find the length of the shorter base of the trapezoid.
Solution: The golden ratio can be used to find the length of the shorter base of the trapezoid. Let the length of the shorter base be x units. Then, the longer base is (5 + 8φ) units. The area of the trapezoid is (1/2)(4)(x + 5 + 8φ) square units. But, the area of the trapezoid is also (1/2)(5 + x)(4) square units. Equating the two, we get (1/2)(4)(x + 5 + 8φ) = (1/2)(5 + x)(4). Solving for x, we get x = 7 - 4φ ≈ 0.472 units.

b. Translating English sentence into mathematical sentences:

1. Problem: The sum of three consecutive integers is 51. Write an equation to represent this statement.
Solution: Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, and x+2. Then, their sum is x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 3x + 3. According to the given information, 3x + 3 = 51. This can be simplified to 3x = 48. Therefore, the equation that represents the given statement is 3x = 48.

2. Problem: The product of two consecutive even integers is 48. Write an equation to represent this statement.
Solution: Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2. Then, their product is x(x+2) = x^2 + 2x. According to the given information, x^2 + 2x = 48. This can be simplified to x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0. Therefore, the equation that represents the given statement is x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0.

3. Problem: The sum of two numbers is 10 and their difference is 4. Write two equations to represent this statement.
Solution: Let the two numbers be x and y. Then, according to the given information, x + y = 10 and x - y = 4. Therefore, the two equations that represent the given statement are x + y = 10 and x - y = 4.

4. Problem: The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm and its area is 56 cm^2. Write two equations to represent this statement.
Solution: Let the length and width of the rectangle be L and W, respectively. Then, according to the given information, 2(L+W) = 30 and LW = 56. Therefore, the two equations that represent the given statement are 2(L+W) = 30 and LW = 56.

5. Problem: A car travels 60 miles in 2 hours. Write an equation to represent the average speed of the car.
Solution: The average speed of the car is the distance traveled divided by the time taken, i.e., 60/2 = 30 mph. Therefore, the equation that represents the given statement is speed = distance/time = 30 mph.
