What is a contradiction of a statement?
A contradiction of a statement is a statement that proves the previous statement wrong.
What is a type of proof in which the statement is being proved is assumed to be false?
It is a type of indirect proof: more specifically, a proof by contradiction.
How can we demonstrate the validity of a statement using proof by absurdity or contradiction?
To demonstrate the validity of a statement using proof by absurdity or contradiction, we assume the opposite of the statement is true and then show that this assumption leads to a logical contradiction or absurdity. This contradiction proves that the original statement must be true.
What does one begin by assuming to prove a statement by contradiction?
To prove a statement by contradiction one begins by assuming the statement is not true. Contradiction is the act of giving the opposing something that you feel is not right.
How do you prove a statement by contradiction?

To prove a statement by contradiction one begins by assuming the statement?
opposite
A corollary is a statement that can be easily proved using a statement?
No. A corollary is a statement that can be easily proved using a theorem.
Can you provide examples of self-contradiction in logic?
Self-contradiction in logic occurs when a statement contradicts itself or leads to a logical inconsistency. One example is the statement "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a paradox. Another example is the statement "I always lie," which leads to a similar contradiction.
