mathematical reasoning part 2 (argument)

as last week i teach wrongly on Compound statement.**
after finding out the true meaning of CS. CS comes from combination of a statement AND / OR a statement. IN OPERATION type question.

Argument
separated in to 3 types of argument. Every argument comes with a General Statement, that provides all information to you.
Note : General Statement is definitely a true statement, no need to reconsider the truth of the statement.
Type 1 (2 Premise and 1 Conclusion)
Premise 1: ALL something IS/HAVE/ARE/HAS something. (general statement)
Premise 2: C IS something.
Conclusion: C IS something

Type 2 (2 Implication and 1 Conclusion)
Implication 1: IF something THEN something. (general statement)

Implication 2: something IS TRUE.
Conclusion: C is something IS TRUE.

Type 3 (2 Implication and 1 Conclusion)
Premise 1: IF something THEN something. (general statement)

Premise 2: something IS NOT TRUE.
Conclusion: something IS NOT TRUE. (FIXED)


SPECIFIC TO GENERAL (INDUCTION) GENERALIZATION : THE Nth TERM IS N^2+N, WHERE N=1,2,3,...

GENERAL TO SPECIFIC (DEDUCTION) CONCLUSION : AT LEAST IN THE RANGE.
2=1^2+1
6=2^2+2
12=3^2+3
