Show that it is impossible for a function to have a derivative which vanishes at the origin and assumes a constant value c notequalto 0 elsewhere. In traditional logic a contradiction consists of a logical incompatibility or incongruity between two or more propositions. In other words m and n are multiples of 2.

The contradiction equation which has no solution the conditional equations which is only true if it has. When we divide that by 2 we get. Therefore we have seen that if 2 m n then both m and n must be even. Proof by Contradiction Proof by contradiction also known as indirect proof or the method of reductio ad absurdum is a common proof technique that is based on a very simple principle.
