Chapter 2 Practice Test Reasoning & Proof



Make a conjecture about the sequence and find the next item in the sequence.

1. a, d, g, j







2.







Tell whether the conjecture is true or false. If it's true, explain and give examples. If it's false, give a
counterexample.

3. An integer times 2 will be even.






4. The sun is shining at 3:00.





Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction or disjunction. Then find its
truth-value.


p: Squares have 4 congruent sides.
r: Saturday is a weekday.
q: A straight angle measures 180.
s: Coplanar points all lie on the same plane.

5. p and q
a.

A straight angle measures 180 and Saturday is a weekday. True

b.

Squares do not have 4 congruent sides or a straight angle measures 180. True

c.

Coplanar points all lie on the same line and squares have 4 congruent sides. False

d.

Squares have 4 congruent sides and a straight angle measures 180. True

a.

Coplanar points all lie on the same plane or Saturday is a weekday. True

b.

Squares do not have 4 congruent sides and Saturday is a weekday. False

c.

Squares do not have 4 congruent sides or Saturday is a weekday. True

d.

Squares do not have 4 congruent sides or Saturday is a weekday. False


6. ~p r



Given the conditional statement, write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive forms. Also, tell whether
each conditional statement is true or false.

7.
If 2 angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

p: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________


q: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________


Converse: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ true or false

Inverse: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ true or false

Contrapositive: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ true or false




Decide if a valid conclusion can be made. If it can, write the conclusion and tell which law you used (Law of
Detachment or Law of Syllogism). If it cannot, write no valid conclusion.

8. - If Im hungry, then Im going to eat.
