Specific case in which a statement is false?

A counterexample is a specific case in which a statement is false.


What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 46 positive odd numbers?

Any conjecture you want; a conjecture is merely an opinion or conclusion based on given information. Whether the conjecture is true or not is left to be proved (if provable at all). One opinion (conjecture) could be that the sum is "blue". It's a totally nonsense conjecture, but its a conjecture none the less. A sensible conjecture might be that the sum is odd. This can be tested and found to be true or false by summing the first 46 odd numbers (a mechanical method that is fairly easy in this case), or by the mathematical manipulation of axioms via algebra (a mathematical proof).


What is a case in which a conjecture is not true?

What kind of statement is a conjecture?

A conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true, but has yet to be proven. Conjectures can often be disproven by a counter example and are then referred to as false conjectures.

Is a conjecture about the sum of two negative integers?

The sum of two negative numbers is 27.5 unless you add them together on a Tuesday, in which case the sum is 25.7. That is a conjecture about the sum of two negative numbers. There is no reason for a conjecture to be true, or even credible.


How does the number 30 fit the goldbach's conjecture?

Goldbach's conjecture says that every even number greater than two can be expressed as the sum of 2 primes. If 30 could not be expressed as the sum of two primes, then this would disprove the conjecture. As it is, 30 can be expressed as the sum of two primes. You can express it as 11+19. Thus, Goldbach's conjecture holds in this case.
