3.1 Inductive and Deductive Reasoning

The document discusses inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning uses specific examples to form a conjecture or conclusion, while deductive reasoning starts with a general statement and uses logic to reach a specific conclusion. It provides examples of applying inductive and deductive reasoning to identify patterns and reach logical conclusions.

Inductive and

Deductive
Reasoning
Inductive Reasoning

The type of reasoning that forms a


conclusion based on the examination of
specific examples.
The conclusion formed by using
inductive reasoning is often called a
conjecture, since it may or may not
be correct or in other words, it is a
concluding statement that is
reached using inductive reasoning.
Inductive Reasoning

Uses a set of specific observations to


reach an overarching conclusion or it is
the process of recognizing or observing
patterns and drawing a conclusion.

Write a conjecture that
describes the pattern. Then use
the conjecture to find the next
item in the sequence.
Examples
Step 1: Look for a pattern
Step 2: Analyze what is happening
in the given pattern
Step 3: Make a conjecture

How many segments could be

Galileo Galilei
Entered the University of
Pisa to study medicine at
the age of 17, but he soon
realized that he was more
interested in the study of
astronomy and the physical
sciences. Galileo’s study of
pendulums assisted in the
development of pendulum
clocks.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to
swing from left to right and back to its original position.
a. If the pendulum has a length of
49 units, what is its period?
b. If the length of a pendulum is
quadrupled, what happens to
its period?
Deductive Reasoning

It is a basic form of valid reasoning


that starts out with a general statement,
or hypothesis, and examines the
possibilities to reach a specific, logical
conclusion.
Deductive Reasoning

It is the process of reaching a


conclusion by applying general
assumptions, procedures, or principles.

SPECIFIC CONCLUSION
All positive counting numbers
whose unit digit is divisible by
two are even numbers.
A positive counting number 1
236 has a unit digit of 6 which is
divisible by two.

Therefore, 1 236 is an
even number.
If the Department of Education strictly
observed health conditions of the students due
to Covid 19, then there is no face-to-face
teaching and learning activity in a classroom.

The Philippines is currently


experiencing Covid 19
pandemic.
Therefore, there will be no
face-to-face teaching and
learning style in a classroom.
Determine whether each of the
following arguments is an
example of inductive reasoning
or deductive reasoning.
Examples
a. During the past 10 years, a tree has
produced plums every other year. Last
year the tree did not produce plums, so
this year the tree will produce plums.
b. All home improvements cost more than
the estimate. The contractor estimated
that my home improvement will cost Php
35 000. Thus, my home improvement
will cost more than Php 35 000.
