Geometry 2.6 Algebraic Proofs
Algebraic proof- proof made up of a series of algebraic statements • Two-column Proof/Formal Proof- contains statements and reasons organized in two columns
Properties of Real Numbers • Addition: If a=b, then a+c=a+b • Subtraction: If a=b, then a-c=b-c • Multiplication: If a=b, then aXc=bXc • Division: If a=b, then a/c=b/c. • Substitution: If a=b, then a and b are interchangeable in any equation or expression. • Distributive: a(b+c)=ab+ac
Geometric Proof- proof combining rules of geometry and algebra
More Properties • Reflexive: a=a (anything always is equal to itself) • Symmetric: If a=b, then b=a. (you can always flip an equation around) • Transitive: If a=b and b=c, then a=c (two things equal to the same thing must be equal to each other.
