5.4 Inverse, Contrapositive, and Indirect Reasoning You will review different forms of reasoning.

Before we begin, there are some terms you need to remember. Conditional: If A, then B. Inverse: If not A, then not B. Converse: If B, then A. Pardekooper p q q p ~p ~q Contrapositive: If not B, then not A. ~q ~p

Pardekooper Conditional Statements If-then Statement: one statement depends on the result of a condition. Example: ''If Deanna eats the last cookie, then Leon will buy more.'‘ hypothesis conclusion hypothesis conclusion 1st part, If ____ 2nd part, then ____ If, then You forgot p q
