Ex 3: Find a counterexample to prove the statement is false. If x2=81, then x must equal 9. counterexample:
Negation Writing the opposite of a statement. Ex 4: negate x=3 Ex 5: negate t>5
Converse _________ the hypothesis & conclusion parts of a conditional statement. Ex 6: Write the converse of “If you are a brunette, then you have brown hair.”
Inverse _________the hypothesis AND the conclusion of a conditional statement. Ex 7: Write the inverse of “If you are a brunette, then you have brown hair.”
Contrapositive ___________, then _________ the hypothesis & conclusion of a conditional statement. Ex 8: Write the contrapositive of “If you are a brunette, then you have brown hair.”
The original conditional statement & its contrapositive will always have the same meaning. (Refer to the table on pg. 83) The converse & inverse of a conditional statement will always have the same meaning.
