NO HOMEWORK FOR A MONTH! NOT! When you negate (“not”) the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement, you form the inverse. Example: Cond. Stmt: If is sunny outside, then it is hot. Inverse: If it is NOT sunny outside, then it is NOT hot.
When you negate the hypothesis and conclusion of the converse of a conditional statement, you form the contrapositive. NOT!
Example: Cond. Stmt: If it is sunny outside, then it is hot. Converse: If it is hot, then it is sunny outside. Contrapositive:If it is NOT hot, then it is NOT sunny.
