2-5 Reasoning(Get out the paper from Friday) • Inductive Reasoning- Making a general rule or conclusion based on a pattern • Deductive Reasoning- Using logic to draw conclusions from given facts • Law of Detachment: If p -> q is a true statement and p is true, then q is true • Law of Syllogism: If p -> q and q -> r are true statements, then p -> r is a true statement
