Man I just want to let you know I started using this channel back in 2012 when I started calculus. The funny thing is, for some reason I had some weird feeling like I was cheating by using your channel to help me understand the material. It really makes you think, I was so used to crumby teachers that when I actually learned something it felt like using cheat codes in a video game. I just wanted to let you know you are really doing a service that is priceless, there is no way I would have passed my math courses without you. Thank you

Great video! I just want to point out that the proof by induction really only holds for the positive integers, since the base case is n=1, and you proved p(n)-> p(n+1) but you didn't prove p(n+1)->p(n). I believe a second half of the proof is needed to cover integers less than 1.

I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I was in an Intermediate Collage Algebra course, but discovered through doing the homework and using your videos to help with that homework, that this was the wrong class for me to be in. It moved so fast and its assumed we already know things like how to find the slope/y intercept etc....so no only did I finally have a real question for once, I was also able to save myself several more very long months of being lost and stressed out. Usually, I would have just tried to stick it out, instead, met with my counselor and discovered that I don’t even need that class for my major since my transfer school has changed!! So long story short, thanks man!! Your videos are the best and easiest to follow along with and I will most certainly be referring to you more next semester when I take the correct Algebra course!

0 divided by any # is equal to 0. Any # divided by itself is equal to 1. The first statement would lead us to believe 0/0 = 0. The second would lead us to believe 0/0 = 1, there must therefore definitionally be something wrong with these axioms; as it is universally accepted that no # can be divided by zero. If we adjust the first axiom to, 0 divided by any # except 0 is equal to 0. We can resolve the contradiction. 0/0 = 1 (this proof will remove "holes" from all rational equations) Further, if we observe rational equations; the asymptote (where the denominator = 0) could be considered to be both + and - infinity. As positive infinity is approached to one side of it, and negative infinity is approached on the other side of it. In order for the asymptotes to be consistent with the rest of the graph, any # divided by zero must be equivalent to + and - infinity.

Guys, the assumption is that a+b is NOT odd which means they CAN NOT be written in the form 2k+1(where k is an arbitrary integer). But since 2k+1 is equal to k+(k+1) this means that it can NOT also be written in the form k+(k+1). Hence a and be can not be consecutive. So once again: a+b can NOT be written in the form 2k+1. But 2k+1=k+(k+1). So can NOT also be written in the form k+(k+1). So if it can NOT be written in the form k+(k+1) then that means a and b can NOT be consecutive So it's much simpler than u think.
@CmdrColstel
3 жыл бұрын
I was also confused on the reasoning behind the Contra-Positive approach. I think if you assume a+b NOT to be odd then you can say it is even or a + b = 2k. Afterwards, you express, 2k = k + k which are NOT two consecutive integers and you attempt to show that they cannot be; (k - 1) + (k + 1), (k - 2) + (k + 2), etc. As you go on, the numbers drift further and further away. Since by definition, consecutive integers are k and k + 1 OR k and k - 1, we see that a, b CANNOT be consecutive.
@Mickem90Y

Is this a valid proof as well ? Consecutive numbers alter between odd/even, so I rephrased consecutives = odd as odd+even=odd Given # (2n) = (even) # (2n+1) = (odd) # { k, n | Z } Assume # (2n) + (2n + 1) = (2k + 1) 2(n + n) + 1 = 2k + 1 2(2n) + 1 = 2k + 1 2(2n) = 2k 2n = k (2n) + (2n + 1) = (2k + 1) 2n + 2n + 1 = 2(2n) + 1 2n + 2n + 1 = 2n + 2n + 1 # Done Since the equation shows true, and the steps are true, the assumption holds true. Right?

If a question says prove that blah blah blah holds true for all integers try to use induction. If a question says prove that such and such a statement is true or false, but the question has nothing to do with integers then you should try one of the oo the other methods. If a problem says show that a rule has these constraints assume those constraints don't hold then use proof by contradiction to demonstrate that those constraints would have to hold.
@alexandertownsend3291
4 жыл бұрын
Those are a few ideas, but there is no general rule. Proving things is not an exact science. Crafting the perfect argument (which is what a proof is) often requires trial and error. These are just places to start. Some problems are so difficult that there might not be an obvious way to use any of these methods to solve a given method. My advice is use trial and error. If that doesn't work keep trying these methods, but look for different angles to attack a problem from. If all else fails think outside the box.

Good Video, but I think the induction could be clearer. Usually you show that the x+1 case splits into the x case and some other part. The x part is already prooven, the other part doesn‘t contradict it, so it is true for x+1. F(x+1)=x+1+x+2 = x+x+1+2 = F(x) +2. We know F(x) is true for some x, so F(x+1) is F(x) + 2 which must be shown is also odd.
