Across
- 6. a form of reasoning by which each conclusion follows from the previous one; an argument is built by conclusions that progress towards a final statement; using previous theorems and/or facts to reach conclusion of new fact.
- 8. a statement that has been proven to be true.
- 9. the “if” part of a conditional statement, the sentence after the “if” before the “then” part.
- 10. a statement that disproves a conjecture or theory.
- 11. a statement that is believed to be true but not yet proved; it is based mainly on observations.
- 13. the “then” part of a conditional statement, then sentence after the word “then.”
- 14. an if-then statement in which p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion.
Down
- 1. a statement that is the result of negating the “if” and “then” parts of the original statement.
- 2. a statement that is resulted from switching the “if” and “then” parts of the original conditional statement.
- 3. a line that cuts through parallel lines
- 4. a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is reached based on a pattern present in numerous observations; using many specific cases to reach a conclusion of one general case.
- 5. negates and switches the parts of the original if-then statement.
- 7. the opposite of a given statement.
