Front Back
Biconditional
The conjugation of a conditional statement and its converse. p iff q
Compound Statement
A statement formed by joining two or more statements. p- Raleigh is a city in N.C. q- Raleigh is the capital of N.C.
Conclusion
In a conditional statement, the statement that immeadiatly follows then. If you buy a car, then you get $1,500 back.
Conjecture
An educated guess based on known information. 2+x= 5 x=3
Contrapositive
The statement formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conversion of a conditional statement. The statement formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conversion of a conditional statement.
Converse
The statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. q to p
Counterexample
An example used to show that any given statement is not always true. 2+2= 7 because 2+2= 4
Deductive Reasoning
A system of reasoning that uses facts, rules, definitions, or properties to reach logical conclusions. 2(9) using the distributive property, you can logically conclude it's 18.
Hypothesis
In a conditional statement, the statement that immeadiatly follows the word if. If lines m and n never intersect, then they are parallel.
Inverse
The statment formed by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement
Negation
If a statement is represented by P, then not P is the negation of the statment
Properties
Can be used to justify each step when solving equations
Theorem
