Skip to contentLet’s refresh the concept of direct proof.“A direct proof of a conditional statement p → q is constructed when the first step is the assumption that p is true; subsequent steps are constructed using rules of inference, with the final step showing that q must also be true. A direct proof shows that a conditional statement p → q is true by showing that if p is true, then q must also be true, so that the combination p true and q false never occurs.” Discrete Mathematics and its Applications by Rosen.Let n be an even number.n=2k for some integer k.The additive inverse of n is -n.If n=2k, then-n=-2k= 2(-k)Therefore, -n is also an even number.⧠Related exercises:C# Cheat SheetJava Cheat SheetPython Cheat SheetMonthly Digest
