| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a statement that is believed to be true based on observations or patterns | Conjecture |
| Is a type of reasoning in which a pattern is observed and a gentle conclusion is made | Inductive reasoning |
| it is an example that shows a conjecture or statement is false | Counter example |
| it is a statement written in the form if p , then q | conditional statement |
| it is the if part of a conditional statement | hypothesis |
| the then part of the conditional statement | conclusion |
| the opposite of a statement | Negation |
| a conditional statement formed by negated both the hypothesis and the conclusion | inverse |
| a conditional statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion | Converse |
| a conditional statement formed by switching and negated the hypothesis and conclusion | contra positives |
| a statement that combines a conditional and its converse using if and only if | Bi conditional statement |
| statement that has the same truth value | equivalent statement |
| it is a type of reasoning that uses facts, definitions, properties, and accepted segments to reach a logical conclusion | Deductive reasoning |
| a valid form of reasoning that allows you to conclude q when p and q is true and p is true | law of detachment |
| is a valid form of reasoning that combines two conditional statements to reach a conclusion | Law of syllogism |
| a logical argument that uses definition, properties, postulates , and previously proven theorems to show that a statement is true | proof |
| is a statement that has been proven to be true | Theorem |
| a proof organized into two columns : statements and reasons | two column proof |
| it is a proof written as a paragraph using complete sentences | Paragraph proof |
| it is a proof that uses boxes and arrows to show how statements lead logically to a conclusion | flow proof |
| is a statement that is accepted as true without proof | Postulate |
| a statement that explains the meaning of a mathematical term | definition |
| a rule or a characteristic that is accepted as true and can be used in mathematical reasoning | Property |
| a quantity is congruent or equal to itself | reflexive property |
| if one quantity equals or is congruent to another, the order can be reversed | Symmetric property |
| of one quantity equals or is congruent to a second, and the second equals or is congruent to a third , then the first and third are equal or congruent | transitive property |
| a quantity that can be substituted for another equal quantity | Subsatution property |
| adding the same quantity to both sides of an equation produces an equivalent equation | addition property of equality |
| subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an equation produces and equivalent equation | Subtraction property of equality |
| multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation | multiplication property of equality |
| dividing both sides of an equation by the same non zero number produces a equivalent equation | Division property of equality |
| where statements are joined by an ( or ) to make a new statement | disjunction |
| where statements are joined by an ( or ) to make a new statement | disjunction |
| is a step by step logical argument that uses algebraic rules, properties, and theorems to demonstrate the truth of a mathematical statement or equation | Algebraic proof |
| it is a table that list all possible combinations of truth values in a logical statement and shows the resulting truth value of a compound statement | truth table |
| the related conditionals of a statement are its converse, inverse, and contrapositive: contrapositive is always logically equivalent to the original conditional | Related conditionals |
| it is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both | Statement |
| is a sequence of statements intended to show that a conclusion follows logically from given information | Deductive argument |
