Vocabulary algebraic proof – Made up of algebraic statements two-column proof/formal proof – contains statements and reasons in two columns
Concept
Proof STEP 1. 3x = 7 – 1/2x 2. 6x = 14 – x 3. 7x = x = 2 REASON 1. GIVEN 2. Multiplication Property 3. Addition Property 4. Division Property It will give you the 1 st step First reason is always “given” Given: 3x = 7 – 1/2x Prove: x = 2 It will give you the last step!
TOO: 3 Steps Step 1. 2x + 3 = x = 8 3. x = 4 Reason 1. Given 2. Subtraction Property 3. Division Property
Example 3 Write a Geometric Proof If A B, m B = 2m C, and m C = 45, then m A = 90. Write a two-column proof to verify this conjecture.
Example 3 5. m A = Simplify StatementsReasons Proof: 4. Substitution 4. m A = 2(45) Write a Geometric Proof 2. m A = m B 2. Definition of angles 1. Given 1. A B; m B = 2m C; m C = Transitive Property of Equality 3. m A = 2m C
