Interactive multiple-choice quiz: Conjectures and Counterexamples - Reveal
Exploring Conjectures and Counterexamples in Mathematics. A conjecture is a mathematical statement that appears to be true based on patterns and observations but has not been formally proven. Inductive reasoning is the process of arriving at these conjectures by noticing recurring trends in data or sequences. However, to disprove a conjecture, one only needs to find a single counterexample—a specific case where the statement does not hold true. This worksheet covers identifying patterns, forming conjectures, and finding counterexamples across various mathematical scenarios, including number sequences and geometric properties.

Which number is a counterexample to the following statement? For all numbers a, \(2a + 7 \leq 17\)
Explanation
A counterexample must make the inequality false. If a = 6, then 2(6) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19. Since 19 is not less than or equal to 17, a = 6 is a counterexample.
Determine if this conjecture is true. If not, give a counterexample. The difference of two negative numbers is a negative number.
Explanation
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its absolute value. In the case of -11 - (-13), the result is 2, which is positive, disproving the conjecture.
Which is a counterexample to the following statement? If an angle is obtuse, then it is \(125^\circ\).
Explanation
A counterexample must be an obtuse angle (greater than \(90^\circ\) and less than \(180^\circ\)) that is not \(125^\circ\). \(160^\circ\) is obtuse and not \(125^\circ\).
Which of the following provide a counterexample to the conjecture, 'If two angles are supplementary, then they are not congruent.'
Explanation
Supplementary angles add up to \(180^\circ\). Two \(90^\circ\) angles are supplementary and they are congruent (equal), which disproves the conjecture.
