Negate the following statements, state the validity of the statement The symbol for negation is ~ The negation of statement p is ~p, said "not p" Compound Statements using And & OR And forms a conjunction conjunctions and disjunctions. Multiples of 2 Multiples of 3 Or forms a disjunction Multiples of 2 and 3 lie in the intersection Multiples of 2 or 3 lie in the union of the sets Note: When listing out the union each number appears once. Create a Venn Diagram for: p q

, or Conditional Statements, are in sentences that given a certain condition the If today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday. conclusion The hypothesis does not need to be first in the sentence, its the cause that leads to the effect. Underline the hypothesis with one line and the conclusion with 2. If add 2 and 2, then you'll get 4. If it rains tomorrow, then the picnic will be cancelled. You can use the car, if you'll put gas in it. If the Jets win or the Bengals lose, then the Jets make the playoffs. I'll buy dinner next time, if you buy dinner this time. You can go to the movies, if you clean your room. A conditional doesn't have to have if and then in it, just a Underline the hypothesis with one line and the conclusion with 2. A square has 4 right angles. We can check the validity of a conditional. The only way to show a conditional false is for T F We look for this pattern to have a testing to see if the statement is a lie. If you get a 100% on your next test, then I'll give you $1000. Find counterexamples for each of the following. If points A, B, and C lie in a plane, If a figure has 1 right angle, its a right triangle. If tomorrow we have no school, then today is Friday.
If today is May 32, then tomorrow is the 33rd. Given the conditional statement of p : If tomorrow is Tuesday, then today is Monday. : If today is Monday, then tomorrow is Tuesday. : If tomorrow is not Tuesday, then today is not Monday. : If today is not Monday, then tomorrow is not If all four are true, the statement is a definition. the same measure. : If angles have the same measure then they are : If angles are not vertical angles, then they do not If x = 2, then x If x 2 = 4, then x = 2. If x = 2, then x 2 = 4. if x 2 = 4, then x = 2. : If angles do not have the same measures
What is the inverse of: If a=0 then ab=0. If ab=0, then a=0. If ab=0, then a=0. Contents Make a conclusion using the Law of Detachment. q is true and p is true, then q is true. If the hypothesis of a true conditional statement is true, then the conclusion is also true. (To be able to conclude that q is true, both p must be true and the conditional must be true.) Example: Mary goes to the movies every Friday and Saturday night. Today is Friday. Using the Law of Detachment... "Today is Friday" satisfies the hypothesis of the conditional statement, so you can conclude that Mary will go to the movies tonight. 1) If it rains, then the game will be cancelled. If the 2nd statement is p, then q can be concluded. 1) If x=4 and y=5, then xy=20.
1) If an angle is a right angle, then its measure is 90 degrees. 1) If today is Saturday, then I'll wash my car. 2) If you win today, then you'll play tomorrow. Conclusion: I wash my car. 3) If a point is a midpoint, then it splits the segment into 2 congruent segments. 1) If angle A is obtuse, then it is greater than 90. 2) Angle A is not 90. 1) If an angle is bisected, then there are two angles with the same measure. Conclusion: Angle A is obtuse. 1) If a triangle has 3 equal sides,then it is equilateral. Law of Syllogism r is true, then p Conclusion: if these statements are true... then this statement is true...
Examples: Law of Syllogism: Write a new conditional statement given: If Rick takes chemistry this year, then Jesse will be Rick's lab partner. If Jesse is Rick's lab partner, then Rick will get an A in chemistry. If Rick takes chemistry this year, then Rick will get an A in chemistry. What about... Use the Law of Syllogism to write a new conditional statement for... If a polygon is regular, then all angles in the interior of the polygon are congruent. If a polygon is regular, then all of its sides are congruent. Oct 30-2:57 PM Oct 30-3:00 PM One more... Use the Law of Syllogism to write a new conditional statement for... If x 2 > 25, then x 2 > 20 If x > 5, then x 2 > 25 Even though the conclusion of the second statement is the hypothesis of the first statement, you can still write a new conditional statement... If x > 5, then x 2 > 20 Make a conclusion using the Law of Syllogism. 1) If it rains, then the game will be cancelled. 2) If the game is cancelled, then we can go to the movies. If in the 2nd statement there is a repeat of the first statement use the same letter to label it. Look for the p r. 1) If a tree is an oak, then it grows very tall. 2) If a tree casts a large shadow, then it very tall. Oct 30-3:32 PM 1) If an angle is a right angle, then its measure is 90 degrees. If an angle is 90 degrees, then it is not acute or obtuse. 1) If a triangle has 3 equal sides, then it is equilateral. 2) If a triangle is equilateral, then it also has 3 equal angles. 2) If you win today, then you'll play tomorrow. If you play tomorrow, then you are in the championship game. 3) If a point is a midpoint, then it splits the segment into 2 congruent segments. If a point is a midpoint then it is collinear with the endpoints of
1) If Carol goes to Rutgers, then she will major in accounting. 2) If Carol majors in accounting, then she will get a good job. Conclusion: If Carol has a good job,then she went to Rutgers. 1) If figure is a circle, then it measures 360 degrees. 2) If a figure is a square, then its angles add to 360 degrees Conclusion: If a figure is a square, then it is a circle. 1) If you get a free soda at Burger Barn, then you won't have to go 2) If you spend $20 or more at Burger Barn, then you'll get a free Conclusion: If you spend $20 or more at Burger Barn,then you (t-charts and paragraph) Contents is true? The intersection of planes is line A line contains at least 2 points. Planes contain at least 3 non-collinear points. The intersection of 2 unique lines is a point. The intersection of 2 unique planes is a line. If 2 points from the same line are in a plane, the entire line is in A theorem is a statement proven true. The intersection of 2 unique planes is a line.
Line AB is the only line through both A and B Since AB lies in plane point C lies in plane The intersection of 2 unique planes is a line. The intersection of 2 unique planes is a line. Using a series of logical steps, like the Law of Detachment. Begin with what is given. Use definitions, theorems, and postulates to make new statements. When you've made the statement that you were asked to The intersection of 2 unique planes is a line. There are a few forms proofs can take. We are going to do T- Charts and Paragraph Proofs.
