If you are prove it

A mathematical proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement, showing that the stated assumptions logically guarantee the conclusion. The argument may use other previously established statements, such as theorems; but every proof can, in principle, be constructed using only certain basic or original assumptions known as axioms, along with the accepted rules of inference.

In essence, a proof is an argument that communicates a mathematical truth to another person (who has the appropriate mathematical background). A proof must use correct, logical, and rigorous reasoning to establish the truth of a mathematical statement.

There are different types of proofs, including direct proof, indirect proof, and proof by contradiction. Direct proof involves establishing the truth of a statement by logically combining the axioms, definitions, and earlier theorems. Indirect proof involves showing that the negation of a statement leads to a logical contradiction. Proof by contradiction involves assuming the opposite of what you want to prove and then showing that this leads to a contradiction.

The goal of a mathematical proof is to provide a completely convincing explanation that a deduction is valid. It needs to be so carefully written that it would hold up in court or under the scrutiny of other mathematicians.

A proposition that has not been proved but is believed to be true is known as a conjecture or a hypothesis if frequently used as an assumption for further mathematical work.
