Question

Which is the best definition of mathematical proof? a/A sequence of statements that demonstrates the truth of an assertion. b/Statements that show the assertion is false using a counterexample. c/A paragraph that always has three parts and shows that an assertion is true. d/Statements in any order that show that an assertion is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A sequence of statements that demonstrates the truth of an assertion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical proofs are a series of statements in order that help prove that something is true.

Proofs do not prove that something is false, they are not always 3 parts, and they are not in any order, because they have to be in an organized sequence.

So, A is correct.
