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.

A What is a conjecture or statement that you prove true?

A conjecture is an unproven statement or hypothesis that is proposed based on observations or patterns. When a conjecture is proven true through logical reasoning or mathematical proof, it becomes a theorem. For example, the conjecture that "the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees" is a statement that can be proven true in Euclidean geometry.

It is a conjecture, or an hypothesis in the scientific method. An hypothesis supported by experiment can become a theory.

How do you you write a conjecture?

A statement that might be true (based on some research or reasoning), but is not proven. Like a hypothesis, but not stated in as formal, or testable, way. So a conjecture is like an educated guess. Example: I heard the sound of a plastic bag, so I conjecture there might be some food!
