Question
Given five noncollinear points, make a conjecture about the number of ways to connect different pairs of points.
Hint:
Inductive Reasoning is the process of drawing a general conclusion by observing a pattern based on the observations and this conclusion is called conjecture.
The correct answer is: Hence, the conjecture that can be concluded is “the number of ways to connect the 6 collinear points in different pairs of points is 10”.
Let’s first make a table and then look for the pattern
The sequence of the number of connections is 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, ….
We can see that
1 = 0 + 1
3 = 1 + 2
6 = 3 + 3
So by seeing the pattern the number of connections in 6 points is given as
6 + 4 = 10
So by seeing the pattern the conjecture that can be made is that the number of ways to connect the 5 collinear points in different pairs of points is 10
Final Answer:
Hence, the conjecture that can be concluded is “the number of ways to connect the 6 collinear points in different pairs of points is 10”.
