👉 Destroy math, also known as destructive algebra or proof by contradiction, is a logical reasoning technique used to prove the validity of a statement by demonstrating that its negation leads to a logical contradiction. This method involves assuming the opposite of what you want to prove (the negation) and then showing that this assumption results in an impossible or absurd situation. By doing so, you effectively establish the original statement's truth. For example, to prove that a number is irrational, you might assume it's rational (a number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers), and then show that this assumption leads to a contradiction, such as the existence of a non-zero integer division by zero. This contradiction invalidates the initial assumption, confirming the original statement is true.
