How is testing a conjecture like finding a statement true or falsehow is it different?
well.......Its like testing a conjecture and finding a statement true or false because u have to test it!!! to see if its true or false and its different,true is like something u can prove and false is untrue and u cant prove it. :D i know i don't make sense but that's how i explained it on my homeworklol
What is a mathematics statement believed to be true?
it is called a conjecture
Is a case in which a conjecture is not true?
Counterexample
What is the difference between a conjecture postulate theorem and corollary?
Conjecture: a statement which may or may not be true.Postulate: a statement that is believed to be true, but may not be.Theorem: a statement that has been proved to be true provided some postulates are true.Corollary: a statement whose truth follows from the truth of a theorem, but one which is not important enough to call it a theorem.
In math what one thing do you need to prove a statement is false?
To prove a statement false, you need ONE example of when it is not true.To prove it true, you need to show it is ALWAYS true.
What is a statement that is believed to be true?
a conjecture

How do you prove a conjecture is false?
Prove that if it were true then there must be a contradiction.
How is testing a conjecture different from finding a statement true or false?
There are only two possible outcomes in finding out whether a statement is true or false.In testing a conjecture, even one contradiction is sufficient to disprove it. However, it can never be proven. All you can do is add support to the likelihood that the conjecture is true. But there remains a possibility that some other test will prove it false.Furthermore, in view of Godel's incompleteness theorem, some conjectures cannot be proven to be true even if you can prove that their negation is false.
How can you prove that a conjecture is wrong?
Find one counterexample to negate the statement

Can you prove a statement is true by identifying one example of when it is true what if you identify 10 or 100 examples?
A statement in maths is true only if it is proved by a series of mathematical manipulations and logic for any GENERAL number for which the statement should satisfy. Otherwise, it is only a conjecture. This is the beauty of mathematics and it is proof which differentiate mathematics from all other fields.
What is a statement or conjecture that can be proven true by undefined terms definitions and postulates?
Theorem
How do you prove a statement by contradiction?
To prove by contradiction, you assume that an opposite assumption is true, then disprove the opposite statement.
What is the difference between a conjecture postulate theorem and corollary?
Conjecture: a statement which may or may not be true.Postulate: a statement that is believed to be true, but may not be.Theorem: a statement that has been proved to be true provided some postulates are true.Corollary: a statement whose truth follows from the truth of a theorem, but one which is not important enough to call it a theorem.
