Question 156186: Mathematical induction is a two-step process that tests the truthfulness of
mathematical formulas. How many “falsehoods” have to be found to prove a theorem to
be false?
a. 3, to break the tie
b. 2, just to be sure
c. It only takes one
d. You can never prove a theory to be false, only true

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mathematical induction is a two-step process that tests the truthfulness of
mathematical formulas. How many “falsehoods” have to be found to prove a theorem to
be false?
a. 3, to break the tie
b. 2, just to be sure

d. You can never prove a theory to be false, only true
------------------
c, just 1. If a formula or theory isn't applicable all the time, it's discarded.
