Question

What Is Contradiction In Maths

Answer 1

When proving something is true using proof by contradiction, you assume the statement to be false, and as you proceed with the proof, you run into a contradiction, making the assumption of your original statement being false impossible, thus it must be true.

Answer 2

Answer:

In logic and mathematics, proof by contradiction is a form of proof that establishes the truth or the validity of a proposition, by showing that assuming the proposition to be false leads to a contradiction.
