Laws of Logic Unit 2
Do Now Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each conditional The quotient will be positive if the two numbers being multiplied are negative Analyze the truth value of the conditional or biconditional statement If x is a number, then the absolute value of x > 0 X2 = 25 if x = 5 Write a definition for inductive reasoning
Objectives SWBAT use deductive reasoning to verify conjectures SWBAT differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning SWBAT apply the Law of Detachment, Law of Contrapositive, and Law of Syllogism to verify conjectures

Deduction vs. Induction
Deductive Reasoning The process of using logic to draw conclusions based on facts, definitions, and properties.
