What is an example of true conditional that has false converse?
An example of a true conditional with a false converse is: "If it is raining, then the ground is wet." This statement is true because rain typically causes the ground to be wet. However, the converse, "If the ground is wet, then it is raining," is false because the ground could be wet for other reasons, such as someone watering the garden.
What is the converse of If a number is a whole number then it is an integer?
"If a number is an integer, then it is a whole number." In math terms, the converse of p-->q is q-->p. Note that although the statement in the problem is true, the converse that I just stated is not necessarily true.
Each conditional is true Write its converse If the converse is also true combine the statements as a biconditional If 2x plus 12 equals 16 then x equals 2?

True or false To begin an indirect proof you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true?
True. In an indirect proof, also known as a proof by contradiction, you start by assuming that the opposite (or converse) of what you want to prove is true. Then, you logically derive a contradiction from that assumption, which shows that the original statement must be true.
In an addition problem the answer should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the most decimal places true or false?
False
is this statement true or falseThe inverse is the negation of the converse.?
false
If a triangle is equilateral then it is isosceles What is the converse of the statement?
If a triangle is isosceles, then it is equilateral. To find the converse of a conditional, you switch the antecedent ("If ____ ...") and consequent ("... then ____."). (Of course, if not ALL isosceles triangles were equilateral, then the converse would be false.)
To begin an indirect proof you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true?
false
What is an example of a false statement that has a true converse?
All four-sided polygons are squares. (False) Squares are all four-sided polygons. (True)
Is this statement true or falseThe Converse of the Hinge Theorem can be used to determine exact measures of angles?
false
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.
What is the converse of the contrapositive of a statement?
Look at the statement If 9 is an odd number, then 9 is divisible by 2. The first part is true and second part is false so logically the statement is false. The contrapositive is: If 9 is not divisible by 2, then 9 is not an odd number. The first part is true, the second part is false so the statement is true. Now the converse of the contrapositive If 9 is not an odd number, then 9 is not divisible by two. The first part is false and the second part is true so it is false. The original statement is if p then q,the contrapositive is if not q then not p and the converse of that is if not p then not q
What is a Converse statement?
A converse statement is a statement is switched to make the statement true or false. For example, "If it is raining, then we will not go to the beach" would be changed to, "If we go to the beach, then it is not raining."
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.
Scientist often state a problem as a?
False
What is the converse of If a number is a whole number then it is an integer?
"If a number is an integer, then it is a whole number." In math terms, the converse of p-->q is q-->p. Note that although the statement in the problem is true, the converse that I just stated is not necessarily true.
