Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,565 views
The document discusses inductive reasoning and how it can be used to find patterns in sequences to make conjectures. It provides examples of using inductive reasoning to find the next terms in sequences and make conjectures about sums or patterns. It also discusses what a counterexample is and how it can disprove a conjecture. The homework assigned is to complete problems 2-46 even on pages 6-7.
Chapter 1.1 patterns and inductive reasoning
- 1. Find a pattern for each sequence. Use the pattern to show the next 2 terms.5, 10, 20, 40, …1, 2, 6, 24, 120, …1, 3, 7, 13, 21, …M, V, E, M, …80, 160720, 504031, 43J, S
- 2. What did you just do?
- 3. 1-1 Patterns and Inductive ReasoningLEQ: How do you use inductive reasoning to make conjectures?
- 4. What is inductive reasoning?Reasoning that is based on patterns you observe.U
- 5. Example: Finding and using a pattern. Use the pattern to show the next 2 terms in the sequence.3, 6, 12, 24, …4896
- 6. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, …2937
- 8. What is a conjecture?A conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning.
- 9. Example: Using Inductive Reasoning. Make a conjecture about the sum of the first 30 odd numbers.Find the first few sums. Notice that each sum is a perfect square.1 = 1 = 1 + 3 = 4 =1 +3 + 5 = 9 =Using inductive reasoning you can conclude that the sum of the first 30 odd numbers is 30 squared, or 900.
- 10. What is a counterexample?An example for which the conjecture is false.You can prove that a conjecture is false by finding one counterexample.
- 11. Example: Testing a conjecture and finding a counterexample.If it is cloudy, then it is raining.It is cloudy and it is not raining.
- 12. If the day of the week is Monday, I will be in a bad mood.This Monday is Labor Day, which means that there is no school, which means that I will most definitely be in a good mood.
- 13. Writing Prompt:Explain how you would use inductive reasoning to create a conjecture.
- 14. Homework:Pgs. 6 – 7 #s 2 – 46 even.
