True
Neither. A theorem is a proven mathematical statement. This says nothing about how easily it can be proven. e.g. the Pythagorean Theorem is easily proven, but Fermat's Last Theorem is extremely difficult to prove.
No, a theorem cannot have a counterexample, as a theorem is a statement that has been proven to be true under a specific set of conditions. A counterexample, on the other hand, demonstrates that a statement or conjecture is false by providing an instance where the statement does not hold. If a counterexample exists, the statement is not a theorem.
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
true
A theorem is a mathematical statement or proposition that has been proven to be true based on previously established axioms, definitions, and logical reasoning. It serves as a foundational element in mathematics, providing a framework for further exploration and discovery. Theorems are often accompanied by proofs that demonstrate their validity.
Theorem
False. It is proven to be true IF some axioms are assumed to be true. A mathematical statement can be proven to be true only after some axioms have been assumed.

Theorem: A Proven Statement. Postulate: An Accepted Statement without Proof. They mean similar things. A postulate is an unproven statement that is considered to be true; however a theorem is simply a statement that may be true or false, but only considered to be true if it has been proven.
True. Euclid showed that more complex geometry could be described and proven deductively from a few simple principles.
true
A postulate is assumed to be true while a theorem is proven to be true. The truth of a theorem will be based on postulates.
