When a conditional statement is true and the hypothesis is also true, it means that the conclusion must logically follow from the hypothesis. In logical terms, this can be referred to as a valid implication, where the truth of the hypothesis guarantees the truth of the conclusion. If the conditional statement is in the form "If P, then Q," and we know that P is true, we can conclude that Q is also true. This relationship underscores the foundational principles of deductive reasoning in logic.
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.
Hypothesis followed by a conclusion is called an If-then statement or a conditional statement.
Contrapositive
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
The statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement is called the "converse." For example, if the original conditional statement is "If P, then Q," its converse would be "If Q, then P." The truth of the converse is not guaranteed by the truth of the original statement.
the .... of a conditional statement is found by switching the hypothesis and conclusion .
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.
The inverse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The converse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The contrapositive of a conditional statement switches and negates the hypothesis and conclusion.
Hypothesis followed by a conclusion is called an If-then statement or a conditional statement.
the hypothesis
If a conditional statement is true then its contra-positive is also true.
The converse of this conditional statement would be: if I am in the south, then I am in Mississippi. It essentially swaps the hypothesis and conclusion of the original conditional statement.
Contrapositive
Converse
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
Given a conditional statement of the form:If "hypothesis" then "conclusion",the inverse is:If "not hypothesis" then "not conclusion".
The statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement is called the "converse." For example, if the original conditional statement is "If P, then Q," its converse would be "If Q, then P." The truth of the converse is not guaranteed by the truth of the original statement.
