A. Identify the premise and conclusion in each of the following arguments. Tell whether also if the
following arguments is an inductive or deductive reasoning.
a) The building of College of Informatics and Computing Sciences in BatStateU Alangilan is made out of
cement. Both building of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts and the College of
Industrial Technology in BatStateU Alangilan are made out of cement. Therefore, all building of Batangas
State University are made out of cement.
Premise:
Both building of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts and the College
of Industrial Technology in BatStateU Alangilan are made out of cement.
Conclusion:
Therefore, all building of Batangas State University are made out of cement.
b) All birds has wings. Eagle is a bird. Therefore, an eagle has wings.
Premise:
2. Eagle is a bird.
Conclusion:
series of numbers.
37 x 3 = 111
37 x 6 = 222
37 x 9 = 333
37 x 12 = 444
_____?______
37 x 15 = 555
-To find the next possible equation, you must add 3 to the last multiplier of the last equation
given or you must multiply the multiplier from the first given equation to the number of the next
equation. It can either be 12 + 3 or 3 x 5. The result will be your multiplier on the next possible
equation.
KINDS OF PROOF
DIRECT PROOF
B. INDIRECT PROOF
- Let the n be equals to 1. If we solve n² + 4 < 5, we can get an answer of 5 which is 5 ¿5. Also let
the n be equals to 2. If we solve for the answer of n² + 4 < 5 we can get an answer of 8 which is
greater than 5.
Since we found out that there are real number that can give us an answer equal or greater than
5 in the statement n² + 4 < 5, thus the original statement is not true.
D. PROOF BY CONTRADICTION
- Assume that x² - y² = 1
- Supposed that there are natural numbers that can be a solution to x² - y² = 1
- Let say that x = 2 and y = 1, substitute the value of x and y and solve the equation
- Then, x² - y² = 1 and x and y are both natural numbers, now multiply the natural number by
itself, and we will yield an answer of 3 and not 1.
- Therefore, the original statement was proven to be true.
