What shows that a conjecture is false?
A conjecture should be testable. You test it and if it fails the test, it is a false conjecture.
What is a conjecture for multiplying two odd numbers?
One possible conjecture: The product is always an odd number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always greater than either of them. Another possible conjecture: Both odd numbers are always factors of the product. Another possible conjecture: The product is never a multiple of ' 2 '. Another possible conjecture: The product is always a real, rational number. Another possible conjecture: The product is always an integer.
What is a statement that shows conjecture is false?
A counter example is a statement that shows conjecture is false.
When you are using induction to investigate a pattern you can call your educated guess about the rule of a pattern a?
Conjecture
Why only one counterexample is necessary to show that a conjecture is false?
To be true a Conjecture must be true for all cases.
Is a single conjecture that can be tested?

What is an informed conjecture that is capable of being tested and potentially falsified by experiment or data?
homosteis
What is an example that shows a conjecture is not true called?

What is a mathematics statement believed to be true?
it is called a conjecture
What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 46 positive odd numbers?
Any conjecture you want; a conjecture is merely an opinion or conclusion based on given information. Whether the conjecture is true or not is left to be proved (if provable at all). One opinion (conjecture) could be that the sum is "blue". It's a totally nonsense conjecture, but its a conjecture none the less. A sensible conjecture might be that the sum is odd. This can be tested and found to be true or false by summing the first 46 odd numbers (a mechanical method that is fairly easy in this case), or by the mathematical manipulation of axioms via algebra (a mathematical proof).
What is the future tense of conjecture?
The future tense of "conjecture" is "will conjecture."
A conclusion made by inductive reasoning is called a?
A conjecture
What is a conclusion made using inductive reasoning called?
a conjecture
What is a convincing argument that logically shows why a conjecture is true is called a?
It's called a proof
What disproves a conjecture?
a conjecture is disproved if it is shown to be false. this can be done by providing a single concrete example (e.g. with actual numbers, functions, etc) that shows the conjecture's premise does not necessarily lead to its conclusion. alternatively, a conjecture could be shown to be false (i.e. disproved) by demonstrating that IF it were true then a logical consequence would be a clearly wrong statement (e.g. 2 + 2 =5)
What is a statement that is believed to be true?
a conjecture
