Chapter 2 Reasoning & Proof

1. Chapter 2 Reasoning & Proof

2. 2 – 1 Conditional Statements Objectives: To recognize conditional statements To write converses of conditional statements

3. an if-then statement Conditional: Hypothesis: the part of the conditional that follows “if” Conclusion: “If you are not completely satisfied, then your money will be refunded.” the part of the conditional that follows “then”

4. Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of each conditional statement. • If today is the first day of fall, then the month is September. • If y – 3 = 5, then y = 8. Example 1 Identifying the Hypothesis & Conclusion

5. Write each sentence as a conditional. • A rectangle has four right angles. • A tiger is an animal Example 2 Writing a Conditional

6. An integer that ends with 0 is divisible by 5 • A square has four congruent sides

7. TRUE: every time the hypothesis is true, the conclusion is also true. either TRUE or FALSE FALSE: find ONE counterexample for which the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. Truth Value:

8. Show that this conditional is false by finding a counterexample: A) If it is February, then there are only 28 days in the month. Example 3 Finding a Counterexample

9. Show that this conditional is false by finding a counterexample. B) If the name of a state contains the word New, then the state borders an ocean.

11. A) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate this conditional. If you live in Little Falls, then you live in New Jersey. Example 4 Using a Venn Diagram

12. B) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate this conditional If something is a whole number, then it is an integer.

16. 2 – 1 Continued Objective: To write converses of conditional statements

17. Switches the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional Conditional: If an angle has measure 40, then it is acute. Converse: If an angle is acute, then it has measure 40. Converse:

18. Write the converse of the following conditional. A) If two lines intersect to form right angles, then they are perpendicular. Write the converse of the following conditional. A) If two lines intersect to form right angles, then they are perpendicular. Converse: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form right angles. Example 5 Writing the Converse of a Conditional

19. Write the converse of the following conditional. If two lines are not parallel and do not intersect, then they are skew. • Write the converse of the following conditional. If two lines are not parallel and do not intersect, then they are skew. Converse: If two lines are skew, then they are not parallel and do not intersect.

20. Consider this true conditional statement. Write the converse and determine its truth value. A) If a figure is a square, then it has four sides. Converse: If a figure has four sides, then it is a square. Example 6 Finding the Truth Value of a Converse Truth Value of Converse: FALSE

21. Write the converse of each conditional statement. Determine the truth value of the conditional and its converse. B) If two lines do not intersect, then they are parallel. C) If x = 2, then =2.

22. “Why you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” – Mad Hatter Example 7 Real-World Connection

23. A) Explain why the Mad Hatter is wrong. “Why you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” – Mad Hatter

24. B) Explain why the Dormouse is wrong. “…’I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!” – Dormouse

25. Use “If a circle’s radius is 2m, then its diameter is 4m” to answer # 1 – 3. • Identify the hypothesis & conclusion • Write the converse • Determine the truth value of the conditional and its converse (include counterexamples if necessary) • True or False? If lines do not intersect, then they are parallel. • True or False? All numbers containing the digit 0 are divisible by 10. Ticket Out
