Unit 1: PRACTICE test – Reasoning and Proof

Directions: Show your statements, reasons, and work logically. Be sure to explain everything.

1. Consider the true statement: Every high school graduate in New Jersey must pass a U.S. government class.

a. Rewrite the statement in if-then form.

b. Rachel lives in New Jersey and has passed a U.S. government class. Can you conclude that she is a high school graduate? Why or why not? c. Sally just moved to New Jersey and passed a U.S. government class in Colorado. What can you conclude?

2. Consider the sequence of numbers 3, 12, 27, 48, 75, 108, 147, … a. The expression for calculating the nth term of this sequence is of the form kn 2 . Find the value of k that will give the above sequence. b. Find the differences of the successive numbers in the original sequence up to the 8 th term.

10. Consider this statement: If Tommy has at least two 5 dollar bills, then he has at least 10 dollars. a. Is this a true statement? Justify your reasoning. b. Write the converse of this statement. c. Is the converse of this statement true? Justify your reasoning.

13. Prove inductive and deductive, or give a counter example: If there is an even integer, then

4(𝑛 2 + 𝑛 + 1) − 3𝑛 2

is even and divisible by four.

15. Prove inductive and deductive, or give a counter example: An integer ( n ) is odd if it’s square

16. Prove inductive and deductive, or give a counter example: If x is even then x + 1 is odd is odd.

17. Prove inductive and deductive, or give a counter example: The sum of four consective odd numbers is divisible by eight.

18. Prove inductive and deductive, or give a counter example: If you have two odd integers, then the difference of those integers is even.
