Notion de Démonstration (Concept of Demonstration)
This page introduces the fundamental concepts of mathematical demonstration, focusing on the distinction between suppositions and affirmations. It is crucial for students to understand these concepts when learning raisonnement mathématique mathematicalreasoning.
The page begins by explaining when to use certain verbs in mathematical language. For suppositions, the verb "sembler" toseem is used. This applies in situations such as:
- When constructing a figure
- When performing calculations with a limited number of values
Example: When drawing a quadrilateral, one might say, "It seems that this figure has four right angles."
For affirmations, the verb "être" tobe is used. This is appropriate in the following contexts:
- When working with given data intheformofastatementorcoding
- In definitions or properties
Example: Given that ABCD is a quadrilateral with four right angles, one can affirm, "ABCD is a rectangle."
The page then provides an example of given data donneˊes for a geometric problem:
- ABCD is a quadrilateral
- It has 4 vertices
- All 4 angles are 90°
- I is the midpoint of AB
- AI = IB
- I belongs to AB
Vocabulary:
- Quadrilatère: A four-sided polygon
- Sommet: Vertex plural:vertices
- Milieu: Midpoint
This information sets the stage for making affirmations about the figure based on these given facts.
Highlight: Understanding the difference between suppositions and affirmations is crucial for rédiger une démonstration en maths writingamathematicalproof.
The page concludes with a simple diagram illustrating a quadrilateral ABCD with point I marked on side AB, visually representing the given information.
