The converse of an inverse is the contrapositive, which is logically equivalent to the original conditional.
The statement "All red objects have color" can be expressed as " If an object is red, it has a color. The contrapositive is "If an object does not have color, then it is not red."
The concept of contrapositive comes from here. A implies B is equivalent to not B implies not A. Prove by contrapositive means instead of proving condition A leads to B, show that if B fails also cause A to fail.
A contrapositive of a conditional is the same conditional, but with the antecedent and consequent swapped and negated. It is logically equivalent to the original statement; it means the same thing. For example, the contrapositive of, "If we all pitch in, we can leave early today," is, "If we don't leave early today, we did not all pitch in."D.If I will not purchase a nonstop flight, then I cannot afford the airfare..:BAByLOKA:.
It is the opposite of a statement...kinda... It is used in if then statements. Let me explain: Statement: If cardinals are red, then a dog is a cardinal. The contrapositive of that statement would be: If a dog is not a cardinal, then it is not red. Notice how you switch the order of if and then in the sentence. Then you insert the nots. To make the sentence true of false. I took geometry a while ago, sot his may not be accurate, but I hoped it helped!
The word contrapositive is a noun. The plural noun is contrapositives.
If a conditional statement is true, then so is its contrapositive. (And if its contrapositive is not true, then the statement is not true).
The converse of an inverse is the contrapositive, which is logically equivalent to the original conditional.
The contrapositive would be: If it is not an isosceles triangle then it is not an equilateral triangle.
If a figure is not a triangle then it does not have three sides ,is the contrapositive of the statement given in the question.
A contrapositive means that if a statement is true, than the characteristics also pertains to the other variable as well.
if the statement is : if p then q converse: if q then p inverse: if not p then not q contrapositive: if not q then not
The statement "All red objects have color" can be expressed as " If an object is red, it has a color. The contrapositive is "If an object does not have color, then it is not red."
"contrapositive" refers to negating the terms of a statement and reversing the direction of inference. It is used in proofs. An example makes it easier to understand: "if A is an integer, then it is a rational number". The contrapositive would be "if A is not a rational number, then it cannot be an integer". The general form, then, given "if A, then B", is "if not B, then not A". Proving the contrapositive generally proves the original statement as well.
Given two propositions, p and q, start out with p implies q. For example if a number is even it is a multiple of 2. So we are saying even implies multiple of 2. Now the contrapositive is not p implies not q so if a number is not even it is not a multiple of 2. Or if not p then not q. The contrapositive of the contrapositive would negate a negation so that would make it positive. If not (not p) then not(not q) or in other words, you are back where you started, p implies q.
Contrapositive
by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.
