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.
|
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
