Study Notes
Conditional Statements and Reasoning
- Conditional Statement: An "if-then" logical statement with a hypothesis and conclusion.
- Converse: Created by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
- Inverse: Negates both the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
- Contrapositive: The inverse of the converse; negates the conclusion and hypothesis.
- Inductive Reasoning: Involves finding patterns to make conjectures.
- Deductive Reasoning: Uses established facts and logical laws to form arguments.
- Law of Detachment: If a true conditional statement's hypothesis is true, then its conclusion must also be true.
- Law of Syllogism: Connects two true statements: if p → q and q → r, then p → r is true.
Properties of Logic and Statements
- Negation: Denoted as "~p", it represents the opposite of the original statement.
- Biconditional Statement: "If and only if", indicating a two-way logical relationship.
- Equivalent Statements: Related conditional statements that share the same truth value, both true or both false.
Geometric Postulates
- Two Point Postulate: Guarantees that through any two points, there exists exactly one line.
- Line-Point Postulate: States that a line must contain a minimum of two points.
- Line Intersection Postulate: If two lines intersect, their intersection is one unique point.
- Three Point Postulate: Asserts that through any three noncollinear points, exactly one plane exists.
- Plane Point Postulate: Indicates a plane must contain at least three noncollinear points.
- Plane-Line Postulate: If two points lie in a plane, the line connecting them lies in the same plane.
- Plane Intersection Postulate: The intersection of two planes is a line.
Angle and Segment Congruence Theorems
- Perpendicular Lines: Defined as two lines intersecting at a right angle.
- Linear Pair Postulate: States that two angles forming a linear pair are supplementary.
- Reflexive Property of Segment Congruence: Any segment equals itself (AB ≅ AB).
- Symmetric and Transitive Properties of Segment Congruence: If AB ≅ CD, then CD ≅ AB; if AB ≅ CD and CD ≅ EF, then AB ≅ EF.
- Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Properties of Angle Congruence: Each angle equals itself and follows similar properties as segments.
- Right Angles Congruence Theorem: All right angles are congruent.
- Congruent Supplement and Complement Theorems: If two angles supplement or complement the same angle, they are congruent.
- Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem: Vertical angles are congruent.
Properties of Equality
- Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division Properties of Equality: Fundamental rules for manipulating equalities involving the same operations on both sides.
- Substitution Property of Equality: If a equals b, a can be substituted for b in any mathematical expression.
- Distributive Property: Applied to sums and differences, allowing distribution of multiplication over addition or subtraction.
- Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Properties of Equality: Reflects that equal quantities are the same, interchangeable, and linked through transitive relations.
