Patterns and Inductive Reasoning Conjecture

An unproven statement that is based on observations.

Inductive Reasoning The process of looking for patterns and

making conjectures.

EXAMPLE 3 Make a conjecture

Given five collinear points, make a conjecture about the number of ways to connect different pairs of the points.

SOLUTION

Make a table and look for a pattern. Notice the pattern in how the number of connections increases. You can use the pattern to make a conjecture.

EXAMPLE 3 Make a conjecture

Conjecture: You can connect five collinear points 6 + 4, or 10 different ways.

ANSWER

EXAMPLE 4 Make and test a conjecture

Numbers such as 3, 4, and 5 are called consecutive integers. Make and test a conjecture about the sum of any three consecutive integers.

SOLUTION

STEP 1Find a pattern using a few groups of small numbers.

3 + 4 + 5 7 + 8 + 910 + 11 + 12 16 + 17 + 18

= 12= 4 3 = 12= 8 3= 33= 11 3 = 51= 17 3

Conjecture: The sum of any three consecutive integers is three times the second number.

ANSWER

EXAMPLE 4 Make and test a conjecture

STEP 1Test your conjecture using other numbers. For example, test that it works with the groups –1, 0, 1 and 100, 101, 102.

–1 + 0 + 1 100 + 101 + 102= 0= 0 3 = 303= 101 3


3. Make and test a conjecture about the sign of the product of any three negative integers.

Test: Test conjecture using the negative integers –2, –5 and –4

–2 –5 –4 = –40

Conjecture: The result of the product of three negative numbers is a negative number.

ANSWER

Patterns and Inductive Reasoning Counterexample

An example that shows a conjecture is false.

EXAMPLE 5 Find a counterexample

A student makes the following conjecture about the sum of two numbers. Find a counterexample to disprove the student’s conjecture.

Conjecture: The sum of two numbers is always greater than the larger number.

SOLUTION

To find a counterexample, you need to find a sum that is less than the larger number.

EXAMPLE 5 Find a counterexample

–2 + –3

–5 > –2

= –5

Because a counterexample exists, the conjecture is false.

general agreement about these words. The building blocks of Geometry are

undefined terms.

Segments and Their Measures Ruler Postulate

The points on a line can be matched one to one with the real numbers.

The real number that corresponds to a point is called the coordinate of the point.

The distance between points A and B, written as AB, is the absolute value of the difference between the coordinates of A and B.

AB is also called the length of AB.

Segments and Their Measures Segment length can be given in

several different ways. The following all mean the same thing. A to B equals 2 inches AB = 2 in. mAB = 2 inches
