Deductive reasoning – the process of using facts, rules, definitions, or properties to reach a valid conclusion. Example: Determine a valid conclusion that follows from the statement below for each condition. If the valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion. “ If two numbers are odd, then their sum is even.”
1. If two numbers are odd, then their sum is even. a. The two numbers are 7 and 3. Conclusion: b. The sum of two numbers is 14. Conclusion:
2. There will be a quiz every Wednesday. a. It is Wednesday. Conclusion: b. It is Tuesday. Conclusion:
Counterexample – a specific case in which the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false.
