What is the relationship between a conjecture, a theorem, and a two-column proof?

The correct answer is:

A conjecture is a statement that has yet to be proven; a theorem is a conjecture that has been proven; and a proof is a series of definitions and theorems that prove conjectures.

In mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. In the argument, proven statements such as theorems, can be used. In principle, a proof can be traced back to self-evident or assumed statements, known as axioms. the two column proof uses data and theorems to carry out thorough proving.
