#math proofs

[wordsofwizdumb]

To all the math geeks, any advice on how I can get good at writing and understanding proofs???

Contrapositive are the same as contradiction, they shouldn’t have different names

“Suppose A, now for the sake of contradiction suppose -b then… -A, a contradiction, thus A implies b.”

Is the same thing as

“Suppose -b, then… -A. Therefore by contrapositive A implies b.”

Their just linguistically different but that doesn’t make them different, anything provable with the first technique is provable with the second technique and vice versa. Contrapositive adds nothing.

CALCULUS 3 HELP

so I’m just trying to do a simple proof but I SUCK at proofs. This is my best attempt, but I know that it’s wrong because I haven’t actually done anything to prove that c in this case needs to be positive. Can anyone help me?

Find out how logic, induction, visuals, bijections, and a little algebra can prove some surprising math theorems.
