- 5. It is the process of reasoning from one or more statements to reach a logical conclusion.
- 6. It is a statement drawn from the hypothesis.
- 9. It is the act of making a reason. A process of reaching a logical conclusion after thinking about all the relevant facts.
- 11. It is a statement or idea taken to be true and on which an argument or reasoning may be based.
- 13. A way to present proof of a statement where the logical statements are presented using complete sentences backed up by reason.
- 15. Instead of showing that the conclusion to be proved is true, you show that the entire alternative is false. To do this you must assume the negation of the statement to be proved. Then, deductive reasoning will lead to contradiction: two statements that cannot be true.
Down
- 1. Selects a cogent set of preconditions.
- 2. It is a way of showing the truth or falsehood of a given statement or math equations by a straightforward combination of established facts and usually axioms without making any assumptions.
- 3. A statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief or action or a proof.
- 4. It is a method of reasoning in which the premises are viewed as supplying some evidence, but not full assurance, for the truth of conclusion.
- 7. A way to present proof of a statement where the logical statements are written on the left side and its corresponding reasons on the right side. It often uses symbols of different relationships.
- 8. It is a statement which is accepted or known at the beginning.
- 10. It is a statement that is accepted without proof.
- 12. It is a statement accepted after it is proven deductively.
- 14. It is a logical argument in which a statement is supported or justified by given information, definitions, axioms, postulates, theorems and previously proven statements.
