... since the first is a matter of opinion and the second leads to a logical dilemma. More generally, by a formula we mean a statement, possibly involving some variables, which is either true or false whenever we assign particular values to each of the variables. (Formulas are sometimes referred to as o ...

... is rational. Assume that ¬p is true. Then = a/b where b ≠ 0, and gcd(a, b) = 1. Therefore, b2 is even. Again then b must be even as well. Why? Exercise! But then 2 must divide both a and b. This contradicts our assumption that a and b have no common factors. We have proved by contradiction that our ...
