true
Is the converse of a biconditional statement always true?
Yes
The converse and inverse of a conditional statement are logically equivalent?
This is not always true.
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.
Is The converse of a biconditional statement is always 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.
