Proof by Contraposition
Proof by Cases
QUESTION 2
What is an indirect proof?
A proof that can only use number properties to show that a certain statement is false.
O A proof that assumes a statement's hypothesis is true and uses a series of logic deductions to conclude that the statement's conclusion is true.
A proof that assumes that the statement being proven is false and then attempts to find a contradiction to that assumption proving the original statement to be
true.
A proof that always involves the multiplication of two values.
