Direct proof

A direct proof is a method of demonstrating the truth of a mathematical statement by straightforward logical deductions from accepted axioms, definitions, and previously established results. In a direct proof, you begin with known facts and apply logical reasoning to arrive directly at the conclusion you are trying to prove. Here are some key characteristics of direct proofs: 1. **Logical Sequence**: Direct proofs rely on a clear sequence of logical steps, where each step follows directly from the previous one or from an established theorem or definition.
