Inductive reasoning takes a specific representative case or facts and then draws generalizations or conclusions from them. Inductive reasoning must be based on a sufficient amount of reliable evidence. In other words, the facts you draw on must fairly represent the larger situation or population. Example:
Fair trade agreements have raised the quality of life for coffee producers, so fair trade agreements could be used to help other farmers as well.
In this example the specific case of fair trade agreements with coffee producers is being used as the starting point for the claim. Because these agreements have worked the author concludes that it could work for other farmers as well.
Deductive reasoning begins with a generalization and then applies it to a specific case. The generalization you start with must have been based on a sufficient amount of reliable evidence.Example:
Genetically modified seeds have caused poverty, hunger, and a decline in bio-diversity everywhere they have been introduced, so there is no reason the same thing will not occur when genetically modified corn seeds are introduced in Mexico.
In this example the author starts with a large claim, that genetically modified seeds have been problematic everywhere, and from this draws the more localized or specific conclusion that Mexico will be affected in the same way.

Is much better an adverb?
There are two words: in this case, much is an adverb, and better may be an adverb.Better is the comparative form of the adjectives good and well, and the adverb well. Much is an adverb of degree modifying better, whether an adjective or adverb.Much by itself can be a noun, e.g. we have risked much.

What does X mean in algebra?
x usually is the unknown that is the factor you have to solve for. It can be any letter but it commonly x. I know this because I had the hardest time in algebra in college. In fact I hated it and really can't remember much more than that. Good Luck I hope you have a much better teacher than I had.
Is much an adverb?
It can be an adverb (much smarter, much more easily), but it can also be an adjective (e.g. much has been said),
True or false Deductive reasoning is much better than inductive reasoning?
FALSE
Examples of deductive logic?
This is a concept made more complex than necessary. The two complementary processes of inductive vs. deductive are very simply and easily understood. Consider the number series; 3, 5, 7, 'x', 11, 13, 15, 'y' Simple inspection shows this to be a series of 'odd' numbers, what a mathematician would call 'n+1'. Inductive vs. deductive simply describes the 'type' of reasoning used to determine either 'x' or 'y'. Because it lies 'inside' the other data points, the 'deduction' that 'x'=9 is reached by deductive logic, or, deductive reasoning. We 'deduce' x=9. 'y', on the other hand, lies 'outside' the data, i.e. we don't have a '19' on the 'right' of the 'y' to help us 'deduce' the answer. Much riskier than deductive logic/reasoning, we are forced to use less evidence than we did for the 'x' case. This method is called 'inductive logic/reasoning'. For those who've been exposed to just a little math, this process might seem similar to the dual processes of interpolation and extrapolation...that's because...they are. Identical. Smile, nod and thank those who try to convince you there's 'more to it than THAT!!!'. There isn't. 'Guessing' about anything from 'inside' the data = Deduction/Deductive Reasoning/Deductive Logic = fairly 'safe' procedure = (also) Interpolation. 'Guessing' about anything from 'outside' the data = Induction/Inductive Reasoning/Inductive Logic = slightly riskier procedure = (also) Extrapolation Example of Deductive Logic/Reasoning; Sign directly above two identical unmarked doors, saying 'Customer Restrooms'. Man exits 'left' door. Another man exits 'left' door. Person, with 'hoodie' up, leaves 'left' door. Fourth person, man, exits 'left' door. Deduction? Third person, of unknown gender, exiting 'left' door, was a man. Example of Inductive Logic/Reasoning (same scenario); 'Right' door is the 'ladies'. It really is just that simple.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS A VALID FORM OF EVIDENCE OF DEDUCTIVE REASONING?
A valid deduction is that you posted the question without checking what it said!The question asks about the "following". In those circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?

What are the three argument types?
The three argument types are deductive, inductive, and presumptive. Their differences are based on the strictness of the connection of the premises to the conclusion.Deductive: In a valid deductive argument, if the premises are true, by logical necessity, the conclusion must be true. There is a strict link between the premises and the conclusion. It is logically impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. There are multiple types of deductive arguments shown in the related question below.Inductive: Not such a strict link between premises and the conclusion. Inductive is usually based on probability (and therefore may contain statistics and percentages). So if the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true. Keywords in an inductive argument include some, most, usually, typically, and other words that suggest that not all things mentioned in the premises are or do what is suggested. It is pretty much a yes or no argument, either deductively valid or not.Presumptive: In this case, the presumption is based on probability, it is tentatively acceptable if the premises are true. This type of argument is usually used when there is no evidence suggesting the contrary, in which case the argument would be proved wrong.
What is induction in persuasive paragraph and how will i know that it is a persuasive paragraph?
Induction is the opposite of definition. This is not a frequently used method of composing paragraph because it is a much harder way of doing it.In inductive reasoning, your topic is considered as a hypothesis or possible idea. You then test each hypothesis and either prove that it is incorrect or keep it for further testing.
What is an inductive Bible?
Inductive Bible study looks at the Bible for what it says (trying not to read into the text what is not there). So, and inductive Bible is probably a Bible that doesn't add too much extra formatting or information about the Bible beyond what was present in the original.
What is an example of hypothetico deductive reasoning?
An example of hypothetico deductive reasoning would be, if you decided to make a toy airplane out of balsa wood. You make the plane, but when you use it, you find it crashes straight to the ground instead of flying. In your mind, you go over each step you took in making the plane as well as all the materials you used. As you're going over the steps one-by-one, you try to work out in your mind exactly what went wrong so you can fix the problem on your next try. Was the wood too thick? is there too much wood at the front on the wings? Were the wings too short? Too long? Is the nose too heavy?
How can Mysteries to be solved?
it depends on how much time you have to kill!:)
How is philosophy different from the study of subjects as mathematics or other sciences?
Advances in mathematics and most sciences are achieved through the use of the induction, and the scientific method. Philosophy also makes use of induction, but a lot of philosophy involves deductive reasoning and cannot be completely verified; also because of this, pretty much everything in philosophy can be regarded as subjective.
