A bi-conditional is a logical statement that connects two propositions, indicating that both are true or both are false simultaneously. It is often expressed using the phrase "if and only if" (IFF), meaning that one statement implies the other and vice versa. In symbolic form, it is represented as ( p \iff q ), where ( p ) and ( q ) are the two propositions. This relationship establishes a strong equivalence between the two statements.
A biconditional statement, expressed as "P if and only if Q" (P ↔ Q), can be rewritten as two conditional statements: "If P, then Q" (P → Q) and "If Q, then P" (Q → P). This means that both conditions must be true for the biconditional to hold. Essentially, the biconditional asserts that P and Q are equivalent in truth value.

What is negation of biconditional statement?
A biconditional is a statement wherein the truth of each item depends on the truth of the other.
It is the biconditional.
A biconditional statement, expressed as "P if and only if Q" (P ↔ Q), can be rewritten as two conditional statements: "If P, then Q" (P → Q) and "If Q, then P" (Q → P). This means that both conditions must be true for the biconditional to hold. Essentially, the biconditional asserts that P and Q are equivalent in truth value.
a condtional statement may be true or false but only in one direction a biconditional statement is true in both directions

A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
true
No, not always. It depends on if the original biconditional statement is true. For example take the following biconditional statement:x = 3 if and only if x2 = 9.From this biconditional statement we can extract two conditional statements (hence why it is called a bicondional statement):The Conditional Statement: If x = 3 then x2 = 9.This statement is true. However, the second statement we can extract is called the converse.The Converse: If x2=9 then x = 3.This statement is false, because x could also equal -3. Since this is false, it makes the entire original biconditional statement false.All it takes to prove that a statement is false is one counterexample.
