<span>mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. In the argument, other previously established statements, such as theorems, can be used. In principle, a proof can be traced back to self-evident or assumed statements, known as axioms.(2)(3)(4) Proofs are examples of deductive reasoning and are distinguished from inductive or empirical arguments; a proof must demonstrate that a statement is always true (occasionally by listing all possible cases and showing that it holds in each), rather than enumerate many confirmatory cases. An unproven statement that is believed true is known as a conjecture.
 
Proofs employ logic but usually include some amount of natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In fact, the vast majority of proofs in written mathematics can be considered as applications of rigorous informal logic. Purely formal proofs, written in symbolic language instead of natural language, are considered in proof theory. The distinction between formal and informal proofs has led to much examination of current and historical mathematical practice, quasi-empiricism in mathematics, and so-called folk mathematics (in both senses of that term). The philosophy of mathematics is concerned with the role of language and logic in proofs, and mathematics as a language</span>

n200080 [17]
The dependent value is determine by the value of the independent value. in other words, the dependent value is what you get when you take the independent value and substitute it in the original equation or situation. The relationship is multiplicative because you must first multiply the independent value in the equation where the x is before you can add or subtract to get your answer.<span />

Geometric mean of 5 and 8 in simplest radical form
Montano1993 [528]
First, multiply 5 and 8. That equals 40. Then you take the square root of 40, which doesn't result in a whole number, so you factor 40 and removing perfect squares. In which case the answer would be 2√10

What is -8(v-3) = -2(-3v-5)
Scilla [17]
The answer is 1. v=1 because it eventually ends up being 7v=7 and it divides into 1.

Answer: y = 121

(y+57) = 178

y+57= 178

y = 178 -57

y = 121
