Definition: Inverse image, Pre-image, \(f^{-1}(\)) Let \(f: X \rightarrow Y\) and \(b \in Y\). Then the inverse image of \(b\) under \(f, f^{-1}(b)\), is the set \[\{x \in X \mid f(x)=b\} .\] This set is also called the pre-image of \(b\) under \(f\).
PROPERTIES AND PROOFS OF SEGMENTS AND ANGLES. In this unit you will extend your knowledge of a logical procedure for verifying geometric relationships. You will analyze conjectures and verify conclusions. You will use definitions, properties, postulates, and theorems to verify steps in proofs.

A proof is a way to assert that we know a mathematical concept is true. It is a logical argument that establishes the truth of a statement.
The inverse of statement p ==> q is ~p ==> ~q. The contrapositive of statement p ==> q is ~q ==> ~p. Converses and inverses can not be assumed true if the conditional is, a common mistake. However, the validity of the contrapositive is the same as the original—they are tautologies. That is, p ==> q is true if and only if (iff) ~q ==> ~p is true.
Mathematical reasoning and proofs are a fundamental part of geometry. Several tools used in writing proofs will be covered, such as reasoning (inductive/deductive), conditional statements (converse/inverse/contrapositive), and congruence properties.
