  1. Section 2.3 Deductive Reasoning

  2. Inductive vs. deductiveReasoning • Do you remember what Inductive Reasoning is? • Reasoning based on patterns you observe • Deductive Reasoning (logical reasoning) • Process of reasoning logically from given statements to a • conclusion. • In other words… • INDUCTIVE REASONING uses rules to make conclusions • DEDUCTIVE REASONING uses examples to make conclusions

  3. LAW OF Detachment • If a conditional is true and its hypothesis is true, then its conclusion • is true. • In Symbolic Form: • If p q is a true statement and p is true, then q is true. • Example 1: Using the Law of Detachment • If an angle is obtuse, then it cannot be acute. • Angle B is obtuse. • CONCLUSION: Angle B cannot be acute

  4. LAW OF Detachment Cont… • Example 2: Using the Law of Detachment • If Z is the midpoint of a segment, then it divides the segment into • two congruent segments. • Z is the midpoint of ST • CONCLUSION: Z divides ST into two congruent segments. • Example 3: Using the Law of Detachment • If a road is icy, then driving conditions are hazardous. • Driving conditions are hazardous. • CONCLUSION: Not possible; you do not know the hypothesis is true

  5. Law of syllogism • Allows you to state a conclusion from two true conditional • statements when the conclusion of one statement is the hypothesis • of the other statement. • NOTE: This is like the Transitive Property • If a = b and b = c, then a = c • In Symbolic Form: • If p q and q  r are true statements, then p  r is a true statement • Example 1: Using the Law of Syllogism • If it is Sunday, the Mr. Z has a lot of free time. • If Mr. Z has a lot of free time, then he will watch football • CONCLUSION: If it is Sunday, the Mr. Z will watch football

  6. Law of syllogism Cont… • Example 2: • If it is 7:30 AM, then the Libertyville high school day begins. • If the Libertyville high school day begins, then Jason will report to his 1st hour • class. • CONCLUSION: If it is 7:30 AM, then Jason will report to his 1st hour class. • Example 3: • If two angles are a linear pair, then their sum is 180 degrees. • If two angles are a linear pair, then they are adjacent angles. • CONCLUSION: Not Possible; q  r
