  1. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra Expectation: L3.3.1: Know the basic structure for a proof of an “if, then” statement. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  2. A rectangular lot measures 125 feet by 185 feet is completely fenced. What is the approximate length, in feet, of the fence? • A) 310 B) 435 C) 620 D) 740 E) 1,240 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  3. Equivalence Properties of Equality • Reflexive Property of Equality: • For all real numbers a, a = a. • Symmetric Property of Equality: • For all real numbers a and b, if a = b, then b = a. • Transitive Property of Equality: • For all real numbers a, b and c, if a = b and b = c, then a = c. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  4. Algebraic Properties of Equality • Addition Property of Equality: For all real numbers a, b and c, if a = b, then a + c = b + c. • Multiplication Property of Equality: For all real numbers a, b and c, if a = b, then ac = bc. • Substitution Property of Equality: If a=b, then you may replace a with b in any equation containing a. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  5. Algebraic Properties of Equality • Distributive Property: For all real numbers a, b and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  6. Parts of a Proof • 1. Given: the hypothesis of the conditional. • Assume this to be true. • 2. Prove: the conclusion of the conditional. • 3. The proof: a logical chain of statements starting with the given and ending with the prove. Each statement must be justified with a mathematical statement. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  7. Prove: If x – 8 = 12, then x = 20 • Given: x – 8 = 12 • Prove: x = 20 • Proof: • 1. x – 8 = 12 1. • 2. x – 8 + 8 = 12 + 8 2. • 3. x + 0 = 20 3. • 4. x = 20 4. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  8. Prove: If 3(x-4) = 36, then x = 16. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra

  9. In a proof of the conditional statement, “If 3(x + 9) = 54, then x = 9,” what should be accepted ad true? • x = 9 • x ≠ 9 • 3(x + 9) = 54 • 3(x + 9) ≠ 54 • If 3(x+9) = 54, then x=9. 2-4: Using Proof in Algebra
