Question

2 true or false? in the body of an indirect proof, you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction. a. false b. true

Explanation:

In an indirect proof (also known as proof by contradiction), the process involves assuming the opposite of what you want to prove (the negation of the statement) and then showing that this assumption leads to a contradiction (a statement that is known to be false, like a contradiction with a given fact, definition, or previously proven theorem). So, in the body of an indirect proof, showing that the assumption leads to a contradiction is a key part of the proof.

Answer:

B. True
