| We presuppose the following: | |||
| (1) | page077_Example1 |
If n is odd, then n² is odd |
|
| (2) | page080_Example8 |
If n² is odd, then n is odd |
|
|
We start working with the formula being proved as follows: |
|||
| (3) | page082_Example12 |
n is odd if and only if n² is odd |
|
≡ by rewriting the form "φ1 if and only if φ2"to " (φ1 implies φ2) and (φ2 implies φ1)" |
|||
| (4) |
(n is odd implies n² is odd) and (n² is odd implies n is odd) |
||
|
We'll handle formula (4)'s components in separate subparts of this proof, as follows: |
|||
| Part 1: | |||
| (5) |
n is odd implies n² is odd |
||
| ↓ by (1) | |||
| (6) |
true |
||
| That concludes this part of the proof. | |||
| Part 2: | |||
| (7) |
n² is odd implies n is odd |
||
| ↓ by (2) | |||
| (8) |
true |
||
| That concludes this part of the proof. | |||
|
Thus, the theorem that was given is true, by the above partitioning of this proof into subparts. |
