section 1 : inductive reasoning Flashcards
what is a counter example ?
is a case where a hypothesis does not hold
`
what is a prime number ?
is a number that has exactly two factors 1 and the number itself
what are examples of prime numbers ?
2 , 3,5,7,11,13,19,23
what are the steps to complete numerical sequences using inductive reasoning ?
- look at earlier terms in the sequence
- identify a pattern
3.use it to find the other members of the sequence
why do we need to put the visual sequence in a linear equation ?
To get the next term in the sequence
what equation do we use in visual sequence to get the next term number ?
linear equation
How do we use the relationship between a term number and the number of boxes ?
by creating ordered pairs
how to do you create a ordered pair in a linear equation based off a visual sequence ?
the term is the x the number of boxes is the y
what is the linear equation formula to find a pattern ?
m= y2-y1 over x2-x1
what is the name of the formula use to find the equation of a line ?
the point slope formula
what is the point slope formula ?
y-y1=m(x-x1)
how does inductive reasoning start ?
inductive reasoning starts with examples cases and then draw general conclusions
how does deductive reasoning start ?
starts with a general statement and applies it to examples or cases
