Given our hypothesis: An even number multiplied by an even number will always result in another even number.
We candemonstratethat this is true by selecting any two even numbers and multiplying them together:
8 x 10 = 80
Clearly, our demonstration shows that our hypothesis is correct for those two numbers; however, there are aninfinitenumber of integers that must bedemonstratedin order to prove it. Thus, it it necessary to
prove that our hypothesis is true for all numbers.
We can prove our hypothesis by using algebra.
An even number is an integer that is evenly divisible by 2, i.e., divisible by 2 without remainder.
Let n and m be even or odd integers not equal to 0.
Then 2n makes even or odd n even, because it is divisible by 2, without remainder. In the same fashion, 2m is also even. Multiplied together we have
2n x 2m = 4nm.
Therefore, an even number multiplied by an even number will always result in an even number. And we have proved it.

Do the theorems for junior certificate maths have to be exactly right or do they just have to make sense?
There is more than one way to prove a given mathematical proposition. If the sequence of reasoning is valid, then the proof is correct. That is all that is required.

U mean was Big Proof a Crip, because he's deceased. But no, Big Proof was not a Crip. Rest In Peace Big Proof.
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 the difference between proof and prove?
proof is a physical truth which noone needs to prove it otherwise. prove is the action taken to have proof.
What is the difference between an empirical proof and a mathematical proof?
Empirical proof is "dependent on evidence or consequences that are observable by the senses. Empirical data is data that is produced by experiment or observation."( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical )"In mathematics, a proof is a convincing demonstration that some mathematical statement is necessarily true, within the accepted standards of the field. A proof is a logically deduced argument, not an empirical one."( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof )
What is the difference between proof and postulate?
A proof uses postulates and theorems to prove some statement.

What is a proof in math?
"In mathematics, a proof is a demonstration that if some fundamental statements (axioms) are assumed to be true, then some mathematical statement is necessarily true." (from Wikipedia)
What is the difference between proof and show?
To show or demonstrate something is a more flexible concept; proof suggests a certain degree of intellectual rigor.
What is the difference between a proof coin and a circulation coin?
A proof coin has a special shiny finish on it and it is made to be sold to collectors, and not used as money.
What is grade A math?
Well... Grade "A" Maths could mean that you had used completely solid reasoning and a minimalistic approach to the proof that you were QEDing. Or when i last did a state exam in Maths it was my "A" Levels divided into "Pure Maths". and "Applied Maths".
