1.1 Patterns of Inductive Reasoning

Target goals: Find and describe patterns.

Use inductive reasoning to make real-life conjectures.

Find a counterexample.

Geometry developed when people began recognizing and describing patterns. In this section, you will be describing visual and number patterns. You can use patterns to help make predictions.

VOCABULARY

Conjecture:

Inductive Reasoning:

Counter Example:

DESCRIBING A VISUAL PATTERN:

Ex 1: Sketch the next figure in the pattern.

Ex 2: Sketch the next figure in the pattern.

DESCRIBING A NUMBER PATTERN:

Sometimes, patterns allow you to make accurate predictions.

Ex 3: Describe a number pattern and then predict the next number.

  1. 17, 15, 12, 8, …b. 48, 16, , , … c. 2, 4, 16, 256, . .d. 4, -20, 100, -500,.

INDUCTIVE REASONING

1) Look for a pattern

2) Make a conjecture

3) Verify the conjecture (Are there counter examples?)

FINDING A COUNTEREXAMPLE

*To prove that a conjecture is true, you need to prove it is true in ALL cases.

*To prove that a conjecture is false, you need to provide a single .

Ex 3: Find a counterexample to show the conjecture false.

Conjecture:If the difference of two numbers is odd, then the greater of the numbers

must also be odd.

Counterexample: ___ - ___ = ___

The conjecture is .

Counterexample:

The conjecture is .

Coplanar Points:

Line Segment:

b. Draw point D not collinear with ABC.

c. Draw .

d. Draw ray .

e. Draw segment .

f. Name opposite rays.

Ex 3: Draw a line. Label three points on the line and name a pair of opposite rays.

SKETCHING INTERSECTIONS OF LINES AND PLANES:

Two or more geometric figures if they have one or more points in common. The of the figures is the set of points the figures have in common.

Ex 4: Draw two intersecting lines.Ex 5: Sketch a line that intersects a plane in one point.

Ex 6: Sketch two planes that intersect.Ex 7: Sketch two planes that do not intersect.

Describe their intersection.
