A mathematical proof is an argument that convinces other people
that something is true. In mathematical logic, "likely to be true" is not
good enough. We try to prove things beyond any doubt at all.
In your initial post, address the following:
Compare proof by contradiction and proof by contrapositive
and provide an example of one or the other.
In responding to your classmates, compare your posts and discuss
the following:
Is the proof well-written and logically clear, and correct?
Explain how the type of proof that was not chosen could or
could not be used for the same example.
Note: To use LaTeX within the discussion, use the equation editor.
For your LaTeX to show up inline, enclose it with . If you would
like to enter a LaTeX item in your Brightspace discussion post, look
on the menu bar for your post between the subject and text areas,
click on the icon, and choose LaTeX equation. If you cannot see
the icon, click on the three dots at the extreme right of the menu
bar (to the right of Font Family, Font Size, etc.) to show all of the
icons.
