Study Notes
Inductive Reasoning
- Inductive reasoning involves making specific observations, recognizing patterns, and drawing general conclusions.
- It is based on a limited number of observations, making it unreliable.
- More observations lead to more reliable conclusions.
- Inductive reasoning forms conjectures, statements believed to be true based on available data and observations, but not conclusively proven.
- Conjectures can be disproven with counterexamples. A counterexample is an example that meets the conditions of the conjecture but does not lead to the conjecture's conclusion.
- Stereotypes are often formed through inductive reasoning with limited observations.
Deductive Reasoning
- Deductive reasoning starts with true statements and uses logic to reach a specific conclusion.
- Conclusions in deductive reasoning are considered proven.
- Inductive reasoning forms conjectures, while deductive reasoning proves conjectures.
Venn Diagrams
- Venn diagrams use circles or shapes to show relationships between two or more sets of items.
- Each circle represents the items that possess a common characteristic.
- Overlapping areas represent items that share common characteristics.
Errors in Deductive Reasoning
- Incorrect assumptions lead to flawed conclusions.
- Circular reasoning uses the statement in question as an assumption to prove itself.
- Arithmetic errors invalidate a deductive proof.
- Divisibility by zero errors invalidate a proof.
Angles Formed by Parallel Lines
- Adjacent angles that sum up to 180° form a linear pair.
- Vertically opposite angles are equal.
- Corresponding angles have the same measures.
- Same-side interior angles are supplementary.
- Alternate interior angles have equal measures.
- Same-side exterior angles are supplementary.
- Alternate exterior angles have equal measures.
- Lines are parallel if the given angle relationships hold.
Angle Relations in Triangles and Polygons
- The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
- The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360°.
- The sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides is 180(n-2).
- The measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360/n.
