a formal proof that contains statements and reasons organized into two columns

the truth or falsity of a statement

a statement or conjecture that can be proven true by undefined terms, definitions, and postulates

a logical argument in which each statement you make is supported by a statement that is accepted as true

a statement that describes a fundamental relationship between the basic terms of geometry .

are accepted as true without proof **

an informal proof written int he form of a paragraph that explains why a conjucture for a given situation is true

statement of OPPOSITE MEANING as well as an OPPOSITE TRUTH value. if a statement is represented by p, then not p is the negation of the statement;

If a statement is true, its negation is false; if the statement is false, its negation is true; opposite of original .

the statement formed by NEGATING both the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditioned statement

reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a conclusion or plausible generalization or prediction

a compound statement of the form if "p then q" where p and q are statements

conditional statement the statement that immediately follows the word "IF"

a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with the word "OR"

a systems of reasoning that uses facts, rules, definitions, or properties to reach logical conclusions

proof formed by a logical chain of statements of algebraic steps used to solve a problem and linking the given to what you are trying to prove.

false example: an example used to show that a given statement(conjecture) is not always true

the statement formed by EXCHANGING(INTERCHANGING) the hypothesis and the conclusions of the converse of a conditional statement

the statement of NEGATING and then INTERCHANGING the hypothesis and the conclusion of the CONVERSE of the conditional

a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with the word "AND:

an educated guess based on known information; concluding statement reached using inductive reasoning

conditional statement

statement that can be written in if-then form

the statement that immediately follows the word "THEN" in a conditional statement

When is a conditional statement true? WRITE THIS OUT

the conclusion must be true wherever the hypothesis is true.

When is a conditional statement false? !Write Out!

only when the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false.
