5.4 Inverses, Contrapositives, and Indirect Reasoning
3
Learning Target I can write the negation of a statement
I can write the inverse and contrapositive of a conditional statement
4
The negation of a statement has the opposite truth value.
Ex: Knoxville is the capital of Tennessee. F Knoxville is not the capital of Tennessee. T
5
Statement: lines m and n are not perpendicular.
Negation: lines m and n are perpendicular.
6
Do #3-8 on the worksheet
7
Inverse: takes a conditional statement and negates both the hypothesis and conclusion.
EX: If a figure is a square, then it is a rectangle. Inverse: If a figure is not a square, then it is not a rectangle
8
Contrapositive: takes the converse(switches hypothesis and conclusion) of the conditional and negates both parts. EX: If a figure is a square, then it is a rectangle. Contrapositive: If a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a square.
9
Do 9 and 10 on worksheet
10
Equivalent Statements have the same truth value
Equivalent Statements have the same truth value. It is important to note that a conditional and its contrapositive are equivalent statements.
11
Indirect Reasoning: All possibilities are considered and then all but one are proved false. The remaining possibility is true. Indirect Proof: a proof involving indirect reasoning.
12
The first step of writing an indirect proof is to assume the opposite of what you want to prove.
EX: the shoes cost no more than $20 The first step would be : Assume the shoes cost more than $20
13
An integer n is divisible by 5
First step in an indirect proof would be: Assume the integer n is not divisible by 5
14
A triangle cannot contain two right angles.
First step in an indirect proof: Assume a triangle contains two right angles.
15
Lets do 11-16 on the worksheet.
16
Identifying contradictions. Look at number 2 on worksheet
17
Step 2 of an indirect proof is to show that your assumption from step 1 leads to a contradiction.
Step 3 is to conclude that the assumption must be false and therefore what you are trying to prove must be true
18
Lets try 17 together.
