Question

Geometry help please? I'll fan and medal
Which of the following is not a property of mathematical proofs?



deductive reasoning

inductive reasoning


true premises

conclusion
I think that it is conclusion because it is a phrase commonly used in math, but thats just me

Answer 1

It is conclusion

Answer 2

Very rough (but useful) definitions:

Deductive Reasoning - Series of "true" things leading to a conclusion.
Inductive Reasoning - Collection of "true" things leading to a likely or probable conclusion.

Notice how they BOTH lead to some conclusion. Thus, "conclusion" is not a good choice. It differentiates nothing.

Answer 3

Thanks! I apprciatte the both of you. So the answer would actually be true premises?
