What type of reasoning uses observation of patterns and past events to reach a conclusion?
Deductive reasoning
What type of reasoning uses the general knowledge of science to make predictions about specific cases?
Deductive reasoning uses general knowledge of science to make predictions about specific cases.It is not a requirement of deductive reasoning that it include overtly scientific data; the concept is that you start with known information. If your starting premises are true, meanings are unambiguous and applicable rules of logic are followed, then the conclusion is true.
Is inductive or deductive reasoning the best way to approach a geometric proof?
Please remember proof gives absolute truth, which means it HAS to be true for all cases satisfying the condition. Hence, inductive reasoning will NEVER be able to be used for that ---- it only supposes that the OBSERVED is true than the rest must, that's garbage, if it's observed of course it's true (in Math), no one knows what will come next. But it's a good place to start, inductive reasoning gives a person incentive to do a full proof. Do NOT confuse inductive reasoning with inductive proof. Inductive reasoning: If a1 is true, a2 is true, and a3 is true, than a4 should be true. Inductive Proof: If a1 is true (1), and for every an, a(n+1) is true as well (2), then, since a1 is true (1), then a2 is true (2), then a3 is true (2). You see, in inductive proof, there is a process of deductive reasoning ---- proving (1) and (2). (1) is usually, just plugin case 1. (2) provides only a generic condition, asking you to derive the result (a (n+1) being true), that is deductive reasoning. In other words, proof uses implications a cause b, and b cause c hence a cause c. Inductive says though a causes c because I saw one example of it.
What is The type of reasoning that uses a number of examples to arrive at a conclusion is?
inductive reasoning
What is a deductive database?
The system that is used to make a deduction that is stored in the database is called deductive database. To specify queries, facts and rules it uses datalog as the typical language.
