What is a antonym for example?
non-example, counterexample,
What is an example for which a conjecture is incorrect?
A counterexample.
Can a counterexample prove that the angles of a triangle need not add up to 180 degrees?
Yes - if such a counterexample can be found. However, using only the Euclidean axioms and logical arguments, it can be proven that the angles of a triangle in a Euclidean plane must add to 180 degrees. Consequently, a counterexample within this geometry cannot exist.
What a counterexample?
a number wich disproves a proposition For example, theprime number 2 is a counterexample to the statement "All prime numbers are odd."

What is an example that shows a conjecture is false?
It's a counterexample.
What is an example of a counterexample?
an example of this is like taking a statement and making it negative, i think.... Such as, "All animals living in the ocean are fish." A counterexample would be a whale(mammal), proving this statement false.
What is an example of a counterexample for the difference of two whole numbers is a whole number?
There is no counterexample because the set of whole numbers is closed under addition (and subtraction).
What are the properties of a good definition in geometry?
a good definition should classify the term, diffienciate it from others in a similar class, and can stand against a counterexample.
A particular example or instance of a statement that makes a statement false?
Counterexample
What is a counterexample in math?
A counterexample is an example (usually of a number) that disproves a statement. When seeking to prove or disprove something, if a counter example is found then the statement is not true over all cases. Here's a basic and rather trivial example. I could say "There is no number greater than one million". Then you could say, "No! Take 1000001 for example". Because that one number is greater than one million my statement is false, and in that case 1000001 serves as a counterexample. In any situation, an example of why something fails is called a counterexample.
What is a sentence for counter example?
"John is a honest lawyer"is a counterexample to"all lawyers are dishonest."
