Use Inductive Reasoning to Make Conjectures

1. Given the pattern: January, March, May, ...


Conjecture: Alternating months of the year make up the pattern.
The next month is July.
2. Given the pattern: 7, 14, 21, 28, …
Conjecture: Multiples of 7 make up the pattern.
The next multiple is 35.
3. Given the sum of numbers: 1 + 1 = 2 , 3.14 + 0.01 = 3.15 ,
3,900 + 1,000,017 = 1,003,917
Conjecture: The result of sum of 2 numbers.

4. Given the product of numbers: 1  1 = 1 , 3  3 = 9, 5  7 = 35


Conjecture: The product of two odd numbers is odd.
5. The cloud of water leaving a whale’s blowhole when it exhales is called its spray. A
biologist observed blue-whale sprays. Another biologist recorded humpback-whale
sprays. Make a conjecture based on the data.

Heights of Whale Sprays


Height of Blue-whale sprays 25 29 27 24
(ft.)
Height of Humpback-whale 8 7 8 9
sprays (ft

Conjecture: The height of Blue-whale sprays is greater than the height of humpback-
whale sprays.
6. Make a conjecture about the lengths of male and female whales based on the data.

Average Whale Lengths


Length of Female 49 51 50 48 51 47
(ft)
Length of Male(ft) 47 45 44 46 48 48
In 5 of the 6 pairs of numbers above the female is longer.
Conjecture: Male whales are shorter than female whales.
7. Determine if each conjecture is true. If false, give a counterexample.
a. The quotient of two negative numbers is a positive number. true
b. Every prime number is odd. false - 2

c. Two supplementary angles are not congruent. false – it can either be contruent or not like
90o + 90o = 180o it is congruent and 120o + 60o = 180o not congruent.

d. The square of an odd integer is odd. true
