mathematical reasoning | Mathematics homework help

This final week of new work is focused on aspects of logic and logical methods of thinking and problem-solving.

One important area is inductive and deductive reasoning.  We use these types of reasoning to draw conclusions or make decisions or solve problems.

Chapter 1 section 1-1 in the e-text presents information about these two types of reasoning.

After carefully studying this section respond to the below tasks in the context of Math 105:

1. Provide an example in the context of Math 105 of a conclusion or decision you made based on inductive reasoning.  Explain why inductive reasoning was involved.  
2. Provide an example in the context of Math 105 of when you used deductive reasoning.  Explain why this was a use of deductive reasoning.
