Indirect Proofs:
-It is when the proof is already assumed to be false, and a contradiction must be proven.
To write an indirect proof, use the following steps:
1. Identify the conjecture to be proven.
2. Assume the opposite (the negation) of the conclusion is true.
3. Use direct reasoning to show that the assumption leads to a contradiction.
4. Conclude that since the assumption is false, the original conjecture must be true.
