  1. Chapter 2 Reasoning and Proof

  2. Chapter Objectives • Recognize conditional statements • Compare bi-conditional statements and definitions • Utilize deductive reasoning • Apply certain properties of algebra to geometrical properties • Write postulates about the basic components of geometry • Derive Vertical Angles Theorem • Prove Linear Pair Postulate • Identify reflexive, symmetric and transitive

  3. Lesson 2.1 Conditional Statements

  4. Lesson 2.1 Objectives • Analyze conditional statements • Write postulates about points, lines, and planes using conditional statements

  5. Conditional Statements • A conditional statement is any statement that is written, or can be written, in the if-thenform. • This is a logical statement that contains two parts • Hypothesis • Conclusion If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday.

  6. Hypothesis • The hypothesisof a conditional statement is the portion that has, or can be written, with the word ifin front. • When asked to identify the hypothesis, you do not include the word if. If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday.

  7. Conclusion • The conclusion of a conditional statement is the portion that has, or can be written with, the phrase then in front of it. • Again, do not include the word then when asked to identify the conclusion. If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday.

  8. Converse • The converseof a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday. If tomorrow is Wednesday, then today is Tuesday

  9. Negation • The negation is the opposite of the original statement. • Make the statement negative of what it was. • Use phrases like • Not, no, un, never, can’t, will not, nor, wouldn’t, etc. Today is Tuesday. Today is not Tuesday.

  10. Inverse • The inverse is found by negating the hypothesis and the conclusion. • Notice the order remains the same! If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday. If today is not Tuesday, then tomorrow is not Wednesday.

  11. Contrapositive • The contrapositive is formed by switching the order and making both negative. If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday. If today is not Tuesday, then tomorrow is not Wednesday. Iftomorrow is not Wednesday, then today is not Tuesday.

  12. Y O Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 5 • Through any two points there exists exactly one line.

  13. H I Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 6 • A line contains at leasttwo points. • Taking Postulate 5 and Postulate 6 together tells you that all you need is two points to make one line.

  14. B Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 7 • If two lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly one point.

  15. R L M Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 8 • Through any three noncollinear points there exists exactly one plane.

  16. R L M Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 9 • A plane contains at least three noncollinear points. • Take Postulate 8 with Postulate 9 and this says you only need three points to make a plane.

  17. M E Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 10 • If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing them lies in the same plane.

  18. Point, Line, Plane Postulates:Postulate 11 • If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line. • Imagine that the walls of the classroom are different planes. • Ask yourself where do they intersect? • And what geometric figure do they form?

  20. Lesson 2.2 Definitions and Biconditional Statements

  21. Lesson 2.2 Objectives • Recognize a definition • Recognize a biconditional statement • Verify definitions using biconditional statements

  22. Perpendicular Lines • Perpendicular lines intersect to form a right angle. • When writing that lines are perpendicular, we place a special symbol between the line segments • AB CD T

  23. Definition • The previous slide was an example of a definition. • It can be read forwards or backwards and maintain truth.

  24. Biconditional Statement • A biconditional statement is a statement that is written, or can be written, with the phrase if and only if. • If and only if can be written shorthand by iff. • Writing a biconditional is equivalent to writing a conditional and its converse. • All definitions are biconditional statements.

  25. Finding Counterexamples • To find a counterexample, use the following method • Assume that the hypothesis is TRUE. • Find any example that would make the conclusionFALSE. • For a biconditional statement, you must prove that both the original conditional statement has no counterexamples and that its converse has no counterexamples. • If either of them have a counterexample, then the whole thing is FALSE.

  26. Example 1 • If a+b is even, then both a and b must be even. • Assume that the hypothesis is TRUE. • So pick a number that is even (larger than 2) • Find any example that would make the conclusionFALSE. • Pick two numbers that are not even but add to equal the even number from above. • Those two numbers you picked are your counterexample. • If no counterexample can be found, then the statement is true.

  28. Lesson 2.3 Deductive Reasoning

  29. Lesson 2.3 Objectives • Use symbolic notation to represent conditional statements • Identify the symbol for negation • Utilize the Law of Detachment to form conclusions • Utilize the Law of Syllogism to form conclusions

  30. Symbolic Conditional Statements • To represent the hypothesis symbolically, we use the letter p. • We are applying algebra to logic by representing entire phrases using the letter p. • To represent the conclusion, we use the letter q. • To represent the phrase if…then, we use an arrow, . • To represent the phrase if and only if, we use a two headed arrow, .

  31. Example of Symbolic Representation • If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday. • p = • Today is Tuesday • q = • Tomorrow is Wednesday • Symbolic form • p  q • We read it to say “If p then q.”

  32. Negation • Recall that negation makes the statement “negative.” • That is done by inserting the words not, nor, or, neither, etc. • The symbol is much like a negative sign but slightly altered… • ~

  33. Symbolic Variations • Converse • q  p • Inverse • ~p  ~q • Contrapositive • ~q  ~p • Biconditional • p q

  34. Logical Argument • Deductive reasoning uses facts, definitions, and accepted properties in a logical order to write a logical argument. • So deductive reasoning either states laws and/or conditional statements that can be written in if…then form. • There are two laws that govern deductive reasoning. • If the logical argumentfollows one of those laws, then it is said to be valid, or true.

  35. Law of Detachment • If pq is a true conditional statement and p is true, then q is true. • It should be stated to you that pq is true. • Then it will describe that p happened. • So you can assume that q is going to happen also. • This law is best recognized when you are told that the hypothesis of the conditional statement happened.

  36. Example 2 • If you get a D- or above in Geometry, then you will get credit for the class. • Your final grade is a D. • Therefore… • You will get credit for this class!

  37. Law of Syllogism • If pq and qr are true conditional statements, then pr is true. • This is like combining two conditional statements into one conditional statement. • The new conditional statement is found by taking the hypothesis of the first conditional and using the conclusion of the second. • This law is best recognized when multiple conditional statements are given to you and they share alike phrases.

  38. Example 3 • If tomorrow is Wednesday, then the day after is Thursday. • If the day after is Thursday, then there is a quiz on Thursday. • Therefore… • And this gets phrased using another conditional statement • If tomorrow is Wednesday, then there is a quiz on Thursday.

  39. Deductive reasoning uses facts, definitions, and accepted properties in a logical order to write a proof. This is often called a logical argument. Inductive reasoning uses patterns of a sample population to predict the behavior of the entire population This involves making conjectures based on observations of the sample population to describe the entire population. Deductive v Inductive Reasoning

  40. If the conditional statement is true, then the contrapositive is also true. Therefore they are equivalent statements! Equivalent Statements Means “not” If the converse is true, then the inverse is also true. Therefore they are equivalent statements!

  45. Reflexive, Symmetric and Transitive Properties

  46. Show Your Work • This section is an introduction to proofs. • To solve any algebra problem, you now need to show ALL steps. • And with those steps you need to give a reason, or law, that allows you to make that step. • Remember to list your first step by simply rewriting the problem. • This is to signify how the problem started.
