Question

Answer 1

A mathematical proof is a logical argument that starts with something true and ends with something new that must be true. You could call your starting truths "premises," so those are certainly a property. What you end up with is your "conclusion." How do we get from the premises to the conclusion? By taking logical steps, which is called "deductive reasoning." "Inductive reasoning" is slightly different, and it's more like what detectives do, which is incredibly misleading!

Answer 2

one more question?

Answer 3

Examples of tools used for inductive reasoning include each of the following except for what?

experimentation

patterns

principles of deductive logic

observation

Answer 4

Well, inductive reasoning is about taking specific examples and trying to find general rules out of it. So that would include observation and patterns. Experimentation would be appropriate too; that's just another way of finding specific examples so you can find patterns. That leaves deductive logic as the one that doesn't belong.

Answer 5

thank youuuuu so much!

Answer 6

You're welcome!

Answer 7

I know I said that was the last question but I have one mroe that I just want you to check and see if I'm right

Answer 9

thank you! one second please

Answer 11

Right. A "premise" is your starting place, and we prove "If A then B" statements by assuming A is true, eventually concluding with B.

Answer 12

yay! I'm starting to get it lol
