Chapter 22-5 Algebraic proofs

SAT Problem of the dayThe volume and surface area of a cube are

equal. What is the length of an edge of this cube?A) 1B) 2C)4D)6E)9

SAT problem of the day Answer :D

Objectives* Review properties of equality and use them to

write algebraic proofs.

*Identify properties of equality and congruence.

What are Proofs?A proof is an argument that uses logic,

definitions, properties, and previously proven statements to show that a conclusion is true.

An important part of writing a proof is giving justifications to show that every step is valid.

Properties

Properties The Distributive Property states that:

a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Example#1Solve the equation 4m – 8 = –12. Write a

justification for each step.4m – 8 = –12 Given equation+8 +8 Addition Property of Equality4m = –4 Simplify.

m = –1 Simplify.Division Property of Equality

Example#2Solve the equation . Write a

justification for each step.

Given equation

Multiplication Property of Equality.

t = –14 Simplify.

Example#3Given: Prove: x=2

Example#4Given: Prove: x=4

ApplicationsWhat is the temperature in degrees

Fahrenheit F when it is 15°C? Solve the equation F = C + 32 for F and justify each step.

ApplicationsWhat is the temperature in degrees

Celsius C when it is 86°F? Solve the equation C = 5/9(F – 32) for C and justify each step.

Algebraic proofs in geometry Like algebra, geometry also uses numbers,

variables, and operations. For example, segment lengths and angle measures are numbers. So you can use these same properties of equality to write algebraic proofs in geometry.

Properties A ____________ B

AB represents the length AB, so you can think of AB as a variable representing a number.

Geometric propertiesYou learned in Chapter 1 that segments

with equal lengths are congruent and that angles with equal measures are congruent. So the Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive Properties of Equality have corresponding properties of congruence.

Example#5Write a justification for each step.

NO = NM + MO

Example#6Write a justification for each step.

mABC = mABD + mDBC
