What is the definition of theorem?

Theorems are important statements that are proved.

What is the difference between a theorem and property?

A theorem is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements. Property is something that needs no proof, such as a variable "a" in an equation will be equal to all other "a"s in the equation.


True or false A theorem is a statement that is deductively proven to be true.?

False. It is proven to be true IF some axioms are assumed to be true. A mathematical statement can be proven to be true only after some axioms have been assumed.


What is dispute of fact?

A dispute is gainsaying a statement. Facts are provable statements to dispute them is to show they are not proven.


True or false a theroem is a statement that can be easily proved?

Neither. A theorem is a proven mathematical statement. This says nothing about how easily it can be proven. e.g. the Pythagorean Theorem is easily proven, but Fermat's Last Theorem is extremely difficult to prove.


What is difference in axiom and postulate?

Theorem: A Proven Statement. Postulate: An Accepted Statement without Proof. They mean similar things. A postulate is an unproven statement that is considered to be true; however a theorem is simply a statement that may be true or false, but only considered to be true if it has been proven.


What is proven with a geometric proof?

Theorems is what is proven with the geometric proof.


What is a biased statement?

a biased statement is when the answer isn't "the truth" ot fair. It is the opposite of unbiased.


How long to know all the mathematics?

Longer than you or anyone else will live! Thanks to Godel, there are statements about mathematical systems such that neither they, not their negation, can ever be proven to be true. This allows a whole new family of mathematical thinking to develop.
