Aiaa Begninning Geometry Flashcards

Front 1

Extraneous Solution

Back 1

a solution that is not valid in the original equation

Front 2

Quadratic formula

Back 2

non linear function that can be written in the standard form of y=ax + bx+ c, where A does not equal 0

Front 3

parabola

Back 3

U shaped graph that represents a quadratic function

Front 4

inductive reasoning

Back 4

When you make a conjecture (unproven statement based on patterns of observations
EX: jake hits 9 out of 10 baskets, he has hit nine in a row there for he will miss the next shoot

Front 5

deductive reasoning

Back 5

write/form a logical arguement based on facts, defintions, properties, and laws of logic
Ex: p=q, q=r. ergo p=r

Front 6

law of detachment

Back 6

if the hypothesis of a coditional statement is true them the conclusion is also true
EX: If you get an A on all your tests, then you'll get an A in the course

Front 7

law of syllogism

Back 7

if it is true that p=q and q=r then it must also be true that p=r

Front 8

perpendicular lines

Back 8

lines that intersect to form a right angle

Front 9

parallel lines

Back 9

2 coplanar( objects on the same plane)

Front 10

vertical angles

Back 10

2 angles whose sides form 2 pairs of oppisite rays

Front 11

linear pair

Back 11

2 adjecant angles whose non common sides are oppisite rays

Front 12

adjecent angles

Back 12

2 angles with a common vertex, but no common interior points

Front 13

point
UNDEFINED

Back 13

a specific place in space and time

Front 14

line segment

Back 14

part of a line that consists of 2 end points

BC

Front 15

ray

Back 15

Part of a line with a point and all points on the line that extend in one direction

DE

Front 16

angle

Back 16

consists of two rays that have the same initial point. The rays are the sides and the point is the vertex
