A type of logical statement that consists of two parts: hypothesis and conclusion. Example: (Can use the “If-then” form) If class is fun, then it must be math!! Conditional Statements: hypothesis conclusion
Converse hypothesis A statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. Example: If class is fun, then it is math!! Converse (switch): If it is math, then class is fun!! hypothesis conclusion
Negation The negative or opposite of a statement, can be written 2 ways. Example #1: Statement:I like ice cream. Negation:I don’t like ice cream. Example #2: Statement:I don’t like ice cream. Negation:I do like ice cream.
Inverse A logical statement where the hypothesis and conclusion are both negated. Example: If class is fun, then it is math. Inverse (negate): If class is not fun, then it is not math.
Contrapositive A statement formed by both negating and switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. Example : If class is fun, then it is math. Contrapositive (switch and negate): If it is not math, then class is not fun.
Equivalent Statements Two statements that are either both true or both false. Conditional = Contrapositive Inverse = Converse
Rewrite in If-Then form: Example #1 All elephants have tails. If an animal is an elephant, then it has a tail.
Example #2 Write a counterexample If a number is odd, then it is divisible by three.
Answer to #2 If a number is odd, then it is divisible by three. 7 ÷ 7 = 1. 7 is odd and is not divisible by 3
Example #3 Write the a) converse, b) inverse, and c) contrapositive of the statement: If an animal is a fish, then it can swim.
Answer to #3 If an animal is a fish, then it can swim. If an animal can swim, then it is a fish. If an animal is not a fish, then it cannot swim. If an animal cannot swim, then it it not a fish. Converse (switch): Inverse (negate): Contrapositive (switch & negate):
