What is wrong with this “proof”? “theorem” for every positive integer n, if x and y are positive integers with max(x, y) = n, then x = y. basis step: suppose that n = 1. if max(x, y) = 1 and x and y are positive integers, we have x = 1 and y = 1. inductive step: let k be a positive integer. assume that whenever max(x, y) = k and x and y are positive integers, then x = y. now let max(x, y) = k +1, where x and y are positive integers. then max(x – 1, y – 1) = k, so by the inductive hypothesis, x – 1 = y – 1. it follows that x = y, completing the inductive step. online discussion guidelines: post your logical argument on the discussion forum. read the logical argument of your peers. reply the results posted by at least two of your peers.
