Unit 2 test: Reasoning and Proof

15 questions. Answer them all, then submit to see your score. Solutions unlock after you submit.

This test covers all of the Reasoning and Proof unit: inductive and deductive reasoning, conditional statements, properties of equality and congruence, two-column proofs, and proving angle relationships.

Question 1

Find the next number in the pattern: 29,21,13,5,…29, 21, 13, 5, \dots

Enter a number. Fractions like 3/4 and sqrt(2) are OK.

Question 2

Which is a counterexample to the conjecture "The product of two numbers is always greater than either number"?

Question 3

Given: "If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent" and "∠5\angle 5 and ∠6\angle 6 are vertical angles." What can you conclude, and by which law?

Question 4

What is the inverse of "If a figure is a triangle, then it has three sides"?

Question 5

The conditional "If x=−4x = -4, then x2=16x^2 = 16" is true. Which related statement is false?

Question 6

Which statement can be written as a true biconditional?

Question 7

Which property justifies: If m∠A=m∠Bm\angle A = m\angle B, then m∠B=m∠Am\angle B = m\angle A?

Question 8

In this algebraic proof, which reason justifies step 2?

#statementreason
