C

Circular Reasoning

Circular reasoning is when you attempt to make an argument by beginning with an assumption that what you are trying to prove is already true


Conjecture

A testable expression that is based on available evidence but is not yet proved.


converse

A statement that is formed by switching the premise and the conclusion of another statement.


corresponding angles

corresponding angles One interior angle and one exterior angles that are non-adjacnt and on the same said of a transversal



Counterexample

An example that invalidates a conjecture.

That is, an example that proves a conjecture to be false. 


D

Deductive Reasoning
