Practice Proofs in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A proof is a logically valid argument that establishes a claim from accepted premises.

It is not guessing the answer; it is proving why the answer must be true.

Example 1

Example 2

medium
Prove directly: For any integer n, if n is odd then n^2 is odd.

Example 3

medium
Prove: The product of two odd integers is odd.

Example 4

medium
Prove directly: if n is even, then n+1 is odd.
