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.

The symbol for "if and only if" is ↔ or ≡. This symbol denotes a biconditional relationship where the statement on the left implies the statement on the right and vice versa.
What is negation of biconditional statement?
a condtional statement may be true or false but only in one direction a biconditional statement is true in both directions
The conditional statement is: "If 2x - 5 = 11, then x = 8" The biconditional statement is the statement that contains "if and only if". Some textbooks or mathematicians use this symbol ⇔. The biconditional statement of the given is: x = 8 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 11 OR x = 8 if and only if 2x - 5 = 11.
It is the biconditional.
A biconditional is a statement wherein the truth of each item depends on the truth of the other.
A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
