(37 cards)
used when you find a pattern in specific cases and use pattern to write a conjecture for general cases
inductive reasoning
unproven statement based on observation
conjecture
specific case for when conjecture is false
counter example
logical statement with two parts: hypothesis and conclusion
conditional statement
hypothesis and conclusion of conditional are reversed
converse
negate hypothesis and conclusion of conditional
inverse
write converse, then negate both hypothesis and conclusion
contra positive
after “if”
hypothesis
after “then”
conclusion
opposite of original
negation
both conditional and converse statements are true
biconditional
uses facts, definitions, accepted properties, and laws of logic to form a logical argument
deductive reasoning
determine truth of statement
truth value
rule accepted without proof
postulate
rule that can be mathematically proven
