See Problem 4.
Weather Use inductive reasoning to make a prediction about the weather.
-
Lightning travels much faster than thunder, so you see lightning before you hear thunder. If you count 5 s between the lightning and thunder, how far away is the storm?

Find one counterexample to show that each conjecture is false.
-
∠
1
angle 1 and
∠
2
angle 2 are supplementary, so one of the angles is acute.
-
Δ
ABC
cap delta is a right triangle, so
∠
A
angle eh measures 90.
- The sum of two numbers is greater than either number.
- The product of two positive numbers is greater than either number.
- The difference of two integers is less than either integer.

Find a pattern for each sequence. Use inductive reasoning to show the next two terms.
- 1, 3, 7, 13, 21,…
- 1, 2, 5, 6, 9,…
- 0.1, 0.01, 0.001,…
- 2, 6, 7, 21, 22, 66, 67,…
- 1, 3, 7, 15, 31,…
