e. The statement represented by not p is the negation of p.
f. If you negate both p and q in a statement p → q, the new statement is called the
inverse.
2. Let p represent “you live in the United States,” q represent “July is a month in the
c. The true or false nature of a statement is called its
summer,” and r represent “red is a color.” For each exercise, explain what the symbols
mean and then write the statement indicated by the symbols.
a. p q The symbols mean the conjunction of p and q. You live in the
United States and July is a month in the summer.
b. p q The symbols mean the disjunction of p and q. You live in the
United States or July is a month in the summer.
c. q r The symbols mean the conjunction of the negation of q and r.
July is not a month in the summer and red is a color.
Helping You Remember
3. Prefixes can often help you to remember the meaning of words or to distinguish between
similar words. Use the dictionary to find the meanings of the prefixes con and dis. Explain
how these meanings can help you remember the difference between a conjunction and a
disjunction. Sample answer: Con means together and dis means apart, so a
conjunction is an and (or both together) statement and a disjunction is an
or statement.

Counterexamples
When you make a conclusion after examining several specific
cases, you have used inductive reasoning. However, you must
be cautious when using this form of reasoning. By finding only
one counterexample, you disprove the conclusion.
Example: Is the statement 1 1 true when you replace x with 1,
x
2, and 3? Is the statement true for all reals? If
possible, find a counterexample.

Deductive Reasoning
Two important laws used frequently in deductive reasoning
are the Law of Detachment and the Law of Syllogism. In
both cases you reach conclusions based on if-then statements.
Law of Detachment
Law of Syllogism
If p → q is a true conditional and
p is true, then q is true.
If p → q and q → r are true
conditionals, then p → r is also true.
Example: Determine if statement (3) follows from statements
(1) and (2) by the Law of Detachment or the Law of
Syllogism. If it does, state which law was used.
(1) If you break an item in a store, you must pay for it.
(2) Jill broke a vase in Potter’s Gift Shop.
(3) Jill must pay for the vase.
Yes, statement (3) follows from statements (1) and
(2) by the Law of Detachment.
Determine if a valid conclusion can be reached from the two
true statements using the Law of Detachment or the Law of
Syllogism. If a valid conclusion is possible, state it and the
law that is used. If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no
valid conclusion.
1. (1) If a number is a whole number, then it is an integer.
(2) If a number is an integer, then it is a rational number. If a number
is a whole number, then it is a rational number; Syllogism.
2. (1) If a dog eats Dogfood Delights, the dog is happy.
(2) Fido is a happy dog. no conclusion
3. (1) If people live in Manhattan, then they live in New York.
(2) If people live in New York, then they live in the United
States. If people live in Manhattan, then they live in
the United States; Syllogism.
4. (1) Angles that are complementary have measures with a sum
of 90.
(2) A and B are complementary.
m A m B 90; Detachment
5. (1) All fish can swim.
(2) Fonzo can swim. no conclusion
6. Look for a Pattern Find the next number in the list 83,
77, 71, 65, 59 and make a conjecture about the pattern.
53; Each number is 6 less than the preceding one.

3. (1) If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90.
(2) Angle A and B are complementary.
The sum of the measures of angles A and B is 90.
4. (1) If the measures of the lengths of two sides of a triangle are equal, then the triangle

Helping You Remember
12. A good way to remember something is to explain it to someone else. Suppose that a
classmate is having trouble remembering what the Law of Detachment means. Explain
this rule in a way that will help him to understand. Sample answer: The word
detach means to take something off of another thing. The Law of
Detachment says that when a conditional and its hypothesis are both true,
you can detach the conclusion and feel confident that it too is a true
statement.

Valid and Faulty Arguments
Consider the statements at the right.
What conclusions can you make?
(1) Boots is a cat.
(2) Boots is purring.
(3) A cat purrs if it is happy.
From statements 1 and 3, it is correct to conclude that Boots
purrs if it is happy. However, it is faulty to conclude from only
statements 2 and 3 that Boots is happy. The if-then form of
statement 3 is If a cat is happy, then it purrs.

Paragraph Proofs
Write a paragraph proof for each conjecture.
1. If p q and p and q are cut by a transversal t,
then 1 and 3 are supplementary.
Since p q, we know that 1 2
since they are corresponding angles.
We also know that 2 3 180

3. If 3 4, then ABC is isosceles.
We know that 3 1 180 and
2 4 180 since they form linear
pairs. Since 3 4, we can write
3 1 180 and 2 3 180. So,
1 180 3 and 2 180 3.
Therefore, 1 2 by substitution.
This implies that AC BC. So, ABC

Coordinate Proofs
You can place figures in the coordinate plane and use algebra to
prove theorems. The following guidelines for positioning figures
can help keep the algebra simple.
•
•
•
•
Use the origin as a vertex or center.
Place at least one side of a polygon on an axis.
Keep the figure within the first quadrant if possible.
Use coordinates that make computations simple.
The Distance Formula, Midpoint Formula, and Slope Formula are
useful tools for coordinate proofs.
Example: Use a coordinate proof to prove that the diagonals
of a rectangle are congruent.
Use (0, 0) as one vertex. Place another vertex on
the x-axis at (a, 0) and another on the y-axis at
(0, b). The fourth vertex must then be (a, b).
Use the Distance Formula to find OB and AC.

2. HIJK is a parallelogram.
D(a, c)
A(a, 0)
H (0, 0)
K(0, c)
J(a, b c)
3. Use a coordinate proof to show that the opposite sides of any
parallelogram are congruent. Label the vertices A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(b, c), and
D(a b, c). Then use the Distance Formula to
find AB, CD, AC, and BD.

it is on the x–axis.
Helping You Remember
3. What is an easy way to remember how best to draw a diagram that will help you devise a
coordinate proof? Sample answer: A key point in the coordinate plane is
the origin. The everyday meaning of origin is place where something
begins. So look to see if there is a good way to begin by placing a
vertex of the figure at the origin.
