The true biconditional statement that can be formed is: "A number is even if and only if it is divisible by 2." This statement combines both the original conditional ("If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even") and its converse ("If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2"), establishing that the two conditions are equivalent.
If lines lie in two planes, then the lines are coplanar.
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 converse of the given conditional statement "If tomorrow is Monday, then today is a weekend day" is "If today is a weekend day, then tomorrow is Monday." This converse is not necessarily true, as today could be Saturday or Sunday, but not both leading to Monday. A valid biconditional statement that reflects the original conditional could be "Today is a weekend day if and only if tomorrow is Monday." However, this biconditional is also false since today could be Sunday with tomorrow as Monday, but Saturday does not lead to Monday.
Yes
No, the conditional statement and its converse are not negations of each other. A conditional statement has the form "If P, then Q," while its converse is "If Q, then P." The negation of a conditional statement would be "P is true and Q is false," which is distinct from the converse. Thus, they represent different logical relationships.
A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.

It is the biconditional.
If a number is nonzero, then the number is positive.

Yes
An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
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.
A simple example of a conditional statement is: If a function is differentiable, then it is continuous. An example of a converse is: Original Statement: If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2. Converse Statement: If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even. Keep in mind though, that the converse of a statement is not always true! For example: Original Statement: A triangle is a polygon. Converse Statement: A polygon is a triangle. (Clearly this last statement is not true, for example a square is a polygon, but it is certainly not a triangle!)
