Most science uses indutive reasoning

It is rare and difficult to prove a hypothesis true or false through experimentation. While it is typically easy to prove something completely false, proving it true is another story.
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
It is false.

many differnet scientists doing expiraments that prove the hypothesis to be true-then it becomes a theory
Yes. A hypothesis describes what we expect to happen in an experiment. If we do the experiment and something different happens, then our hypothesis is "falsified", or demonstrated to be false. In that case, we'll need to reconsider our hypothesis to determine how it was wrong. We can revise our hypothesis and then conduct a different experiment to test it. It's easy to demonstrate that a hypothesis is incorrect, but it is impossible to prove that it is true.
A direct proof in geometry is a proof where you begin with a true hypothesis and prove that a conclusion is true.
"A hypothesis is a proposed answer to a question. To answer the question raised by your observations, the hypothesis must be testable." it means that you need to be able to prove that your hypothesis is true or not by creating an experiment and collect/analyze the data
