Counterexample
What is a mathematics statement believed to be true?
it is called a conjecture
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
Why only one counterexample is necessary to show that a conjecture is false?
To be true a Conjecture must be true for all cases.
Why can a conjecture be true or false?
Because that is what a conjecture is! It is a proposition that has to be checked out to see f it isalways true, false or indeterminate,sometimes true, false or indeterminate,never true, false or indeterminate.Once its nature has been decided then it is no longer a conjecture.
