Term
Inductive Reasoning
Definition
Drawing a general conclusion from specific examples. When we draw a generalization the result may or may not be true.
Term

What are three ways we use inductive reasoning?

 

Definition

1. extend patterns

2. learn math

3. show statements are false by counterexamples.

Term
Arithmetic Sequence
Definition
This sequence is formed when a number pattern exists where there is a fixed difference between each number.
Term
Geometric Sequence
Definition
When a number pattern is represented where there is a common ratio between each of the numbers in the sequence.
Term
Incorrect inductive reasoning leads to?
Definition
misconceptions and malrules
Term
Deductive Reasoning
Definition
involves applying the rules of logic to true statements in order to draw conclusions. We use deductive reasoning to formally prove a statement is true.  
Term
Fundamental Rule of Logic
Definition

IF P is true then not P is false.

 

If not P is false then P is true

Term
Conditional Statement
Definition
Written in if, then format
Term
Affirming the Hypothesis
Definition
when a conditional statement and its hypothesis are true. The conclusion must also be true.
Term
Denying the Conclusion
Definition
When a conditional statement is true and its conclusions are false. The hypothesis must be false.
Term
Is using the converse a valid rule of logic?
Definition
No. The convere of p->q is q->p
Term
What is the inverse? Is it a valid rule of logic?
Definition
The inverse is ~p->~q. It is not a valid rule of logic.
Term
What makes up the contrapositive?
Definition

The contrapositive is made up of the converse and the inverse.

~q->~p

Term
What makes a conditional statement logically equivalent?
Definition
If the conditional statement is true and the contrapositive is true the statements are logically equivalent.
Term
Conjunction
Definition
a^b is true only if both statements a and b are true.
Term

Disjunction

 

Definition
a v b is true is either a, b, or both are true.
Term
Biconditional Statement
Definition
p iff q
