Example text

If A Then B” Proofs Frequently, a theorem is given in the form “If A then B,” where A and B represent statements. ” The entire“If A then B”statement is called an implication; A alone is the premise, and B is the conclusion. The meaning of “If A then B” is that, whenever A is true, B is true as well. Thus, the implication “If x ϭ 0, then x ϭ 0” means that, if we know x ϭ 0 for some particular vector x in Rn , then we can conclude that x is the zero vector. 4 Therefore,to prove“If A then B,”we assume A is true and try to prove B is also true.

Zn ] ϭ [x1 , x2 , . . , xn ] · [y1 ϩ z1 , y2 ϩ z2 , . . , yn ϩ zn ] ϭ x1 (y1 ϩ z1 ) ϩ x2 (y2 ϩ z2 ) ϩ · · · ϩ xn (yn ϩ zn ) ϭ (x1 y1 ϩ x2 y2 ϩ · · · ϩ xn yn ) ϩ (x1 z1 ϩ x2 z2 ϩ · · · ϩ xn zn ). Also, (x · y) ϩ (x · z) ϭ [x1 , x2 , . . , xn ] · [y1 , y2 , . . , yn ] ϩ ([x1 , x2 , . . , xn ] · [z1 , z2 , . . , zn ]) ϭ (x1 y1 ϩ x2 y2 ϩ · · · ϩ xn yn ) ϩ (x1 z1 ϩ x2 z2 ϩ · · · ϩ xn zn ). Hence, x · (y ϩ z) ϭ (x · y) ϩ (x · z). 5 allow us to simplify dot product expressions just as in elementary algebra.

In essence, we must show A and B are logically equivalent: the “if A then B” half means that whenever A is true, B must follow; the “if B then A” half means that whenever B is true, A must follow. Therefore, A is true exactly when B is true. 9. Result 4 Let x and y be nonzero vectors in Rn . Then x · y ϭ x is a positive scalar multiple of x. y if and only if y In an “if and only if” proof, it is usually good to begin by stating the two halves of the “if and only if” statement. This gives a clearer picture of what is given and what must be proved in each half.
