Hello!
I am having a hard time understanding the proof of condtradiction, the logic you follow to get to the correct solution.
This is my problem:
∀x from R : |x − 4| < 1 ⇒ x < 5
Now I did the step where you negate the B part of the statement;
|x - 4| ^ x>= 5
But now I am stuck, not sure what my next step is. If anyone can help would be much appreciated.
PS If this problem isn't in the right category I am very sorry I've googled proof of contradiction too see in which math category it belongs in but with no success.
