1

conditional statement

a logical statement that has two parts: a hypothesis, p and a conclusion, q

New cards
2

example of a conditional statement

if an animal is a monkey, then it has a tail; p: an animal is a money; q: it has a tail; if p, then q

New cards
3

negation of a statement

the opposite of the original statement

New cards
4

example of a negation of a statement

an animal is not a monkey; not p

New cards
5

converse

switch the hypothesis and the conclusion

New cards
6

example of coverse

if an animal has a tail, then it is a monkey; if q, then p

New cards
7

inverse

negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion

New cards
8

example of inverse

if an animal is not a monkey, then it has no tail; if not p, then not q

New cards
9

contrapositive

switch and the negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion

New cards
10

example of contapositive

if an animal has no tail, then it is not a monkey; if not q, then not p

New cards
11

equivalent statements

two statements that are both true or false

New cards
12

example of an equivalent statement

if a figure is a triangle, then it is a polygon

New cards
13

biconditional statement

a statement that contains the phrase “if and only if”; can only be written if both the conditional and converse statements are always true

New cards
14

example of a biconditional statement

a figure is a triangle if and only if it is a polygon; p if and only if q

New cards
15

perpendicular lines

if two lines intersect to form a right angle; their slopes are negative reciprocals

<p>if two lines intersect to form a right angle; their slopes are negative reciprocals</p>
New cards
16

conjecture

an unproven statement based on an observation; an educated guess based on data and examples; is false if there is a counter example

New cards
17

example of a conjecture

prime numbers are odd, proof: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 are odd

New cards
18

counter example

a specific case for which the conjecture is false

New cards
19

example of a counter example

2 is prime and an even number

New cards
20

inductive reasoning

the process of finding a pattern in specific places and then writing a conjecture for the general case

New cards
21

example of inductive reasoning

most softball players become coaches, sue is a softball player, so she’ll become a coach

New cards
22

deductive reasoning

uses facts, definitions, properties, and the laws of logic (detachment and syllogism) to form a logical argument

New cards
23

example of deductive reasoning

all dogs have ears; golden retrievers are dogs, therefore they have ears

New cards
24

law of detachment

if the hypothesis of true conditional statement is true, then the conclcusion is true

New cards
25

example of the law of detachment

Mary goes to the movies every friday and saturday night, today is a friday; Mary goes to the movies; if pq is true, and p is true, then q is true

New cards
26

law of syllogism

if the statements: hypothesis p, then conclusion q and if hypothesis q, then conclusion r are true then this statement is true: if hypothesis p, then conclusion r; if p = q and q=r, then p=r

New cards
27

example of the law of syllogism

if Jane taks chemistry this year, then Ella will be Janes lab partner, if Ella is Jane’s lab partner, then Jane will get an A is chemistry; if Jane takes chemistry this year, she will get an A in chemistry

New cards
28

two point postulate

through any two points, there, exists exactly one line; if two points, then one line

New cards
29

line point postulate

a line contains at least two points; if line, then two or more points

New cards
30

line intersection postulate

if two lines intersect, then their intersection is one point

New cards
31

three point postulate

through any three non collinear points that exists exactly one plane; if three non collinear points, then one plane

New cards
32

plane point postulate

a plain contains at least three non collinear points; if one plane, then three non collinear points

New cards
33

plane line postulate

if two points lie in a plane, then the line containing them lies in the plane

New cards
34

plane intersection postulate

if two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line

New cards
35

addition property of equality

if a = b, then a + c = b +c

New cards
36

subtraction properties of equality

if a = b, the a-c = b-c

New cards
37

multiplication properties of equality

if a=b, then ac=bc

New cards
38

division property of equality

if a=b and c≠0, then a/c=b

New cards
39

distributive property of equality

for any real numbers a, b, and c; a(b+c)=ab+ac

New cards
40

simplify (combine like terms)

for any real numbers a, b, and x; ax+bx=(a+b)x

New cards
41

symmetric property of equality

if a=b, then b=a

New cards
42

reflexive property of equality

for any real number a: a=a

New cards
43

transitive property of equality

if a=b and b=c, then a=c

New cards
44

substitution property of equality

if a=b, then a could be substituted for b in any expression

New cards
45

proof

a logical statement that uses deductive reasoning to show that a statement is true

New cards
46

two column proofs (left statement)

given information OR the result of applying properties, definitions, or known facts

New cards
47

two column proofs right statement (right statement)

responses for each corresponding statement

New cards
48

reflexive property (properties of segment congruence)

for any segment AB, AB=AB

New cards
49

symmetric property (properties of segment congruence)

if AB is congruent to CD, then Cd is congruent to AB

New cards
50

transitive property (properties of segment congruence)

if AB is congruent to CD, and CD is congruent to EF, then AB is congruent to EF

New cards
51

reflexive property (properties of angle congruence)

For any angle A, measure A is congruent to measure A

New cards
52

symmetric property (properties of angle congruence)

if angle A is congruent to angle B, then angle B is congruent to angle A

New cards
53

transitive property (properties of angle congruence)

if angle A is congruent to angle B, and Angle B is congruent to angle C, then angle A is congruent to angle C

New cards
54

right angles congruence theorem

all right angles are congruent, one right angle is 90*

New cards
55

supplementary angles

two angles that add up to 180*, do not have to be adjacent or share a vertex

New cards
56

congruent supplements theorem

if two angles are supplementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent

New cards
57

complementary angles

two angles that add up to 90*, do not have to be adjacent or share a vertex

New cards
58

congruent complements theorem

if two angles are complementary to the same angle (or two congruent angles), then they are congruent

New cards
59

linear pair postulate

if two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary

New cards
60
