Disproof.
The term that best describes a proof in which you assume the opposite of what you want to prove is 'indirect proof'.
proof by contradiction
This type of proof is known as proof by contradiction. In this approach, you start by assuming that the opposite of your desired conclusion is true. You then demonstrate that this assumption leads to a logical inconsistency or contradiction, thereby reinforcing that the original statement must be true. This method is effective for establishing the validity of propositions where direct proof may be challenging.
True. An indirect proof, also known as proof by contradiction, involves assuming that the opposite or negation of the conclusion is true. This assumption is then used to derive a contradiction, thereby demonstrating that the original conclusion must be true.
True. (apex)
Proof in which one assumes the opposite of what you have to prove is indirect proof. In indirect proof a person can draw a conclusion from assuming the opposite is true and then find a conclusion.

proof by contradiction
Proof by contradiction (APEX)
Yes. It also called proof by "reduction ad absurdum".
false
To derive something is to obtain information from a specific source, based on a logical proof. The opposite of this is to use intuition, or feelings. So the opposite of derived would be intuited.

if a is bad, then negative bad or not bad is good.-a means the opposite of a. Since a is negative and the opposite of a negative is positive, -a is positive.
