The purpose of this paper to provide a proof of using a derivation completely consistent with Special Relativity. We base our proof on the calculation of the relativistic kinetic energy, K, and the invariance of the momentum 4-vector in Minkowski space. This proof provides a useful pedagogical method for teaching the momentum 4-vector through an excellent example to undergraduate physics students.
