Transcribed Image Text:**Exercises and Explanations: Patterns, Conjectures, and Logic**
### Pattern Recognition and Prediction
1-6. Describe the pattern, then write or draw the next two numbers, letters, or figures.
- **Examples**:
- 1, -2, -3, -4, ...
- 2, 0, 0, 6, 12, 20, ...
- X, Y, X, W…
- A, D, G, J, M...
Figures: Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Cubes.
### Conjecture Making and Testing
7-10. Make and test a conjecture about the given quantity.
- Sum of an even and an odd integer.
- Product of any two even integers.
- Quotient of a number and its reciprocal.
- Quotient of two negative integers.
### Counterexamples
11-14. Find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false.
- Product of two positive numbers is always greater than either number.
- n is a nonzero integer, then \( n + \frac{1}{n} \) is greater than 1.
- If two angles are supplements, each one of the angles must be acute.
- A line divides segment \(\overline{MN}\) into line segments. So, the line is a segment bisector of \(\overline{MN}\).
### Using the Law of Detachment
15-18. Deduce what you can conclude from the given information.
- Downloading a GIF will crash your device.
### Using the Law of Syllogism
19-22. Write a new conditional statement from two true statements.
- Example: If \( x = -2 \), then \(|x| > 2\).
### Law of Logic Illustration
23-26. State the law of logic that is illustrated.
- Example: If you do your homework, you can watch TV.
### Inductive Reasoning
27-28. Make a conjecture about the given quantity using inductive reasoning.
- Example: Sum of the first n odd integers.
This educational resource is designed to help students develop their skills in pattern recognition, making conjectures, and logical reasoning.
