What is converse inverse and contrapositive?
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
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 inverse is the negation of the converse?
No, the inverse is not the negation of the converse. Actually, that is contrapositive you are referring to. The inverse is the negation of the conditional statement. For instance:P → Q~P → ~Q where ~ is the negation symbol of the sentence symbols.
Is the square root of pq irrational where p and q are primes?
Only if p and q are DIFFERENT primes.
In the phrase mind your P and Q what does the p and q stand for?
Barkeepers used to keep track of what a drinker consumed by pints and quarts thus the p and q. Mind your p's and q's simply meant drink only what you paid for.
