Converses of a true if-then statement can be true sometimes. For example, you might have "If today is Friday, then tomorrow is Saturday," and "If tomorrow is Saturday, then today is Friday."

Both the above conditional statement and its converse are true. However, sometimes a converse can be false, such as:

"If an animal is a fish, then it can swim."

and

"If an animal can swim, it is a fish."

The converse is not true, as some animals that can swim (such as otters) are not fish.

What is a true statement that combines a true conditional statement and its true converse?

always true


Is the Converse of a false statement always false?

Let's take an example.If it is raining (then) the match will be cancelled.A conditional statement is false if and only if the antecedent (it is raining) is true and the consequent (the match will be cancelled) is false. Thus the sample statement will be false if and only if it is raining but the match still goes ahead.By convention, if the antecedent is false (if it isn't raining) then the statement as a whole is considered true regardless of whether the match takes place or not.To recap: if told that the sample statement is false, we can deduce two things: It is raining is a true statement, and the match will be cancelled is a false statement. Also, we know a conditional statement with a false antecedent is always true.The converse of the statement is:If the match is cancelled (then) it is raining.Since we know (from the fact that the original statement is false) that the match is cancelled is false, the converse statement has a false antecedent and, by convention, such statements are always true.Thus the converse of a false conditional statement is always true. (A single example serves to show it's true in all cases since the logic is identical no matter what specific statements you apply it to.)If you are familiar with truth tables, the explanation is much easier. Here is the truth table for A = X->Y (i.e. A is the statement if X then Y) and B = Y->X (i.e. B is the converse statement if Y then X).X Y A BF F T TF F T TT F F TF T T FLooking at the last two rows of the A and B columns, when either of the statements is false, its converse is true.


Can polynomials with the same graph have different roots?

False! If the graph is exactly the same, then the x-intercepts will be the same which implies the roots are them same. However, you can have the same roots and different graphs. So while the first statement is true, the converse if not.

If a statement is true is it converse also true?

Not necessarily. If the statement is "All rectangles are polygons", the converse is "All polygons are rectangles." This converse is not true.

What is proof by Converse?

Proof by Converse is a logical fallacy where one asserts that if the converse of a statement is true, then the original statement must also be true. However, this is not always the case as the converse of a statement may not always hold true even if the original statement is true. It is important to avoid this error in logical reasoning.

What is a true statement that combines a true conditional statement and is its true converse?

always true


Is the converse of a true conditional statement always false?

No. Consider the statement "If I'm alive, then I'm not dead." That statement is true. The converse is "If I'm not dead, then I'm alive.", which is also true.


What is converse statement?

Statement: All birds lay eggs. Converse: All animals that lay eggs are birds. Statement is true but the converse statement is not true. Statement: If line A is perpendicular to line B and also to line C, then line B is parallel to line C. Converse: If line A is perpendicular to line B and line B is parallel to line C, then line A is also perpendicular to line C. Statement is true and also converse of statement is true. Statement: If a solid bar A attracts a non-magnet B, then A must be a magnet. Converse: If a magnet A attracts a solid bar B, then B must be non-magnet. Statement is true but converse is not true (oppposite poles of magnets attract).

Ask us anythingIf the statement If I am hungry then I am not happy is assumed to be true is its converse If I am not happy then I must be hungry also always true?

No, the converse of the statement "If I am hungry then I am not happy" is "If I am not happy then I am hungry." While the original statement is assumed to be true, its converse does not necessarily follow that truth. The truth of the original statement does not guarantee the truth of its converse; there could be other reasons for not being happy that do not involve hunger.
