What to Focus On
- A proof is a chain of deductive arguments.
- Every step must be justified logically.
- There are two broad ways to prove a proposition: directly and indirectly.
- Direct proof starts with the given statement.
- It includes straightforward approach, mathematical induction, and proof by cases.
- It is a natural method when the conclusion follows step by step from the hypothesis.
- Straightforward approach moves directly from hypothesis to conclusion.
- Factorization is often used in algebraic proofs.
- Each transformation must preserve equivalence.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A proof can begin with a conclusion and still be valid if the final answer is correct.
Direct proof and proof by contradiction are basically the same thing because both try to prove the statement.
If one example works, then the whole general statement is true.
