Term
Definition
biconditional   Is a statement in which both the conditional statement and it's converse are true.  
🗑
conclusion   The part of a conditional statement following the "then".  
🗑
conditional   A statement written in if-then form.  
🗑
conjecture   A conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning.  
🗑
contrapositive   Exchange and negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement -q --> -p  
🗑
converse   Exchange the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. q --> p  
🗑
counterexample   An example that shows that a conjecture is false.  
🗑
deductive reasoning   Is the process of reasoning logically from given statements, facts, definitions, or theorems to a conclusion.  
🗑
equivalent statements   Two statements that have the same truth value.  
🗑
hypothesis   The part of a conditional statement following the If.  
🗑
inductive reasoning   Reasoning based on patterns you observe.  
🗑
inverse   Negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement......-p --> -q  
🗑
Law of Detatchment   Logical reasoning in which ...if the hypothesis of a true conditional is true then the conclusion must also be true.  
🗑
Law of Syllogism   Logical reasoning which...allow you to state a conclusion from TWO true conditional statements in when the conclusion of one statement is the hypothesis of the other statement.  
🗑
negation   the opposite of a statement p is ~p which is read "not p".  
🗑
proof   A convincing argument that uses deductive reasoning which shows logically why a conjecture is true.  
🗑
theorem   is a conjecture or statement that has been (or can be) proven true using deductive reasoning.  
🗑
truth value   A conditional statement can be either a true or a false statement.  
🗑
two column proof   A proof which has two columns, it gives each statement on the left and the reason for each statement on the right.  
🗑
addition property of equality   if a = b then a+c = b+c  
🗑
subtraction property of equality   if a=b then a-c=b-c  
🗑
multiplication property of equality   if a=b then ac = bc  
🗑
division property of equality   if a=b then a/c =b/c (given c does not equal 0)  
🗑
Reflexive Property   a=a  
🗑
Symmetric Property   If a=b then b=a  
🗑
Transitive Property   If a=b and b=c then a=c  
🗑
Substitution Property   If a=b then b can replace a in any expression  
🗑
Distributive Property of multiplication over addition   a(b+c) = ab + ac  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
