Geometry Notes1.1 Patterns and Inductive Reasoning
Mr. Belanger
Inductive ReasoningInductive Reasoning
Reasoning based on patterns you observe.
I am COOL, I am COOL, I am COOL,
What do you observe???
ExamplesExamples
3, 6, 12, 24, ….. What do you notice?
Next number is previous times 2.
80, 40, 20, 10, ….. Previous number divided by 2.
Next shape?? Triangle.
ConjectureConjecture
Conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning. (Not thinking and figuring it out, but the actual written answer)
1, 4, 16, 64, ….
Multiplying previous number by 4.
conjecture
CounterexampleCounterexampleExample that proves a conjecture false (untrue)
The sky is blue!
conjecture
Counterexample – raining outside (sky is gray)
You only need to provide ONE counterexample to disprove a conjecture.
ExamplesExamples1) The square of any number is greater than the original.
