logical reasoning unit 4) Flashcards
what are the trype of errors that can be made while proving a conjecture
- cannot divide by 0
- there can be a mathmaical error
- could be an invaild point so everything after point is wrong
whats inductive reasoning
its making a conjecture based on specific information to generalizing it
whats deductive reasoning
its making conjecture based on general to specific
a conjecture needs how many peices of evidence?
at least 3
when question says prove what does it stand for
use deductive reasoning
how do you prove number trick with creating a proof
write statement that works for the first line of number trick using n as anyvalue then once thats done on the left of = sign will be the steps on rigth just do it
how do you wirte an odd number algebreiclly
2n+1 or 2n-1
how do you write a even number
2n
how do you write consecutivly
n+1
when 2 different numbers and both are odd / even what should you write
you should write them with 2 different varibles to represent theyre different
when deductive reasoning and trying to prove how it can = somthing what shouldnt you write first
you shouldnt write in the first line how whatever is = to final answer just write first part then algebrically solve for what trying to get to
