    MAT385-Proof by contraposition

    Cool. Thanks for all the help. I'm a chemistry major who keeps taking math classes for some reason.

    MAT385-Proof by contraposition

    Maybe Let x be divisible by n: x=kn y=y x*y=kn*y xy is a multiple of n, so xy is divisible by n. Proof by contraposition. This is my first introduction to formal logic and proofs (MAT385) aside from proofs like those found in calc III. Thus, I thank you for the pointers on specifics.

    MAT385-Proof by contraposition

    Is this sufficient? Is the attached sufficient. By write the definition of x, did you mean x=kn?

    MAT385-Proof by contraposition

    I see. Seeing the implication differently does change quite a bit. Thank you.
