C
conclusionthe part of a logical statement that provides the result or consequences of the hypothesis—In a statement “If x then y”, the conclusion is y. |
conjecturea statement that attempts to make a conclusion but has not been proved true or false |
constant of proportionalitythe constant in a proportional function equation; it describes the ratio or proportional relationship of the independent and dependent variables—also called the constant of variation or the rate of change |
constant of variationthe constant in a proportional function equation; it describes the ratio or proportional relationship of the independent and dependent variables—also called the rate of change or the constant of proportionality |
continuous patterna pattern made of uninterrupted or connected values or objects |
coordinate planea plane in two dimensions, containing the x- and y-axes, used to map ordered pairs in the form (x, y) |
coordinatesa pair of numbers that identifies a point on the coordinate plane—the first number is the x-value and the second is the y-value |
counterexamplea situation that provides evidence that a logical statement is false |
counting numbersalso called natural numbers, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... |
D
deductive reasoninga form of logical thinking that uses generalizations to draw specific conclusions based on a series of logical steps, deductive reasoning may use rules, laws, and theories to support or justify a conjecture |
