no it is not always true
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.
Yes, because a variable cannot be both true and not true.
False(apex real answer) True. (apex FAKE ANSWER)
It's a contradiction . . . a statement that's not true.
2 must always equal 2. To have otherwise is a logical contradiction, and an impossibility.
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.
The statement "I always tell the truth" implies a contradiction because if the person always tells the truth, then they cannot lie, but if they were lying about always telling the truth, it would create a 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.
you just used it in a sentence! He always contradicts what I say!
To prove by contradiction, you assume that an opposite assumption is true, then disprove the opposite statement.
Prove that if it were true then there must be a contradiction.

an identity? maybe a tautology? Comment by mgately: In the field of discrete mathematics (simplified the study of logic) any expression which always evaluates to true is in fact called a tautology. While less cool sounding, an expression which always evaluates to false is just called a contradiction.
Yes, because a variable cannot be both true and not true.
true
TrueIt is true that the body of an indirect proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction. In math a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement.
