1 Warm Up Complete each sentence. 1. ? points are points that lie on the same line. 2. ? points are points that lie in the same plane. 3. The sum of the measures of two ? angles is 90°. Collinear Coplanar complementary

2 Find the next item in the pattern. Example 1A: Identifying a Pattern January, March, May,... The next month is July. Alternating months of the year make up the pattern. Find the next item in the pattern. Example 1B: Identifying a Pattern 7, 14, 21, 28, … The next multiple is 35. Multiples of 7 make up the pattern. Find the next item in the pattern. Example 1C: Identifying a Pattern In this pattern, the figure rotates 90° counter-clockwise each time. The next figure is.

3 When several examples form a pattern and you assume the pattern will continue, you are applying inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is the process of reasoning that a rule or statement is true because specific cases are true. You may use inductive reasoning to draw a conclusion from a pattern. A statement you believe to be true based on inductive reasoning is called a conjecture. Complete the conjecture. Example 2A: Making a Conjecture The sum of two positive numbers is ?. The sum of two positive numbers is positive.

4 Complete the conjecture. Example 2B: Making a Conjecture The number of lines formed by 4 points, no three of which are collinear, is ?. Draw four points. Make sure no three points are collinear. Count the number of lines formed: The number of lines formed by four points, no three of which are collinear, is 6.

5 Example 3 Make a conjecture about the lengths of male and female whales based on the data. In 5 of the 6 pairs of numbers above the female is longer. Female whales are longer than male whales. Average Whale Lengths Length of Female (ft) 495150485147 Length of Male (ft) 4745444648

6 To show that a conjecture is false, you have to find only one example in which the conjecture is not true. This case is called a counterexample. To show that a conjecture is always true, you must prove it. A counterexample can be a drawing, a statement, or a number. Inductive Reasoning 1. Look for a pattern. 2. Make a conjecture. 3. Prove the conjecture or find a counterexample.

7 Example 4a For any real number x, x 2 ≥ x. Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. Let x =. 1212 The conjecture is false. Since =, ≥. 1212 2 1212 1414 1414 Example 4b Supplementary angles are adjacent. Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. The supplementary angles are not adjacent, so the conjecture is false. 23 ° 157 °

8 Example 4c The radius of every planet in the solar system is less than 50,000 km. Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. Planets’ Diameters (km) MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePluto 488012,10012,8006790143,000121,00051,10049,5002300 Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius of Jupiter is 71,500 km and the radius of Saturn is 60,500 km. The conjecture is false. Pg. 77 _____________________________________________________
