How can you show that a generalization is likely correct? (in Math)
Added by Nicolas D.
Step 1
Start with a specific example: Begin by testing the generalization with a few specific examples. If the generalization holds true for these examples, it is a good indication that it may be correct. Show more…

Show that universal generalization (see Table 1.5 .1 ) is valid.
The left-hand column of the table lists some common algebraic errors. In each case, give an example using numbers that shows that the formula is not valid. An example of this type, which shows that a statement is false, is called a counterexample.
