Complete each sentence. 1. 2. ? ? points are points that lie on the same line. points are points that lie in the same plane. 3. The sum of the measures of two Holt Geometry ? angles is 90°. Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Objectives TSW use inductive reasoning to identify patterns and make conjectures. TSW find counterexamples to disprove conjectures. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Biologists use inductive reasoning to develop theories about migration patterns.

January, March, May, ... Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 2: Identifying a Pattern Find the next item in the pattern. 7, 14, 21, 28, … Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 3: Identifying a Pattern Find the next item in the pattern. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 4 Find the next item in the pattern 0.4, 0.04, 0.004, … Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures 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. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 5: Making a Conjecture Complete the conjecture. The sum of two positive numbers is Holt Geometry ? . Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 6: Making a Conjecture Complete the conjecture. The number of lines formed by 4 points, no three of which are collinear, is ? . Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 7 Complete the conjecture. The product of two odd numbers is Holt Geometry ? . Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 8: Biology Application The cloud of water leaving a whale’s blowhole when it exhales is called its blow. A biologist observed blue-whale blows of 25 ft, 29 ft, 27 ft, and 24 ft. Another biologist recorded humpbackwhale blows of 8 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft, and 9 ft. Make a conjecture based on the data. Heights of Whale Blows Height of Blue-whale Blows 25 Height of Humpback-whale Blows Holt Geometry 8 29 27 24 7 8 9 Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 9 Make a conjecture about the lengths of male and female whales based on the data. Average Whale Lengths Length of Female (ft) 49 51 50 48 51 47 Length of Male (ft) 47 45 44 46 48 48 Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures To show that a conjecture is always true, you must prove it. 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. A counterexample can be a drawing, a statement, or a number. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Inductive Reasoning 1. Look for a pattern. 2. Make a conjecture. 3. Prove the conjecture or find a counterexample. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 10: Finding a Counterexample Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. For every integer n, n3 is positive. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 11: Finding a Counterexample Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. Two complementary angles are not congruent. Holt Geometry Using Inductive Reasoning to 2-1 Make Conjectures Example 12: Finding a Counterexample Show that the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample. The monthly high temperature in Abilene is never below 90°F for two months in a row.
