No, because the reverse statement may not result in a true statement.

(A) If x is an integer then x*x is rational.

(B) if x*x is rational then x is an integer.


(B) is utter nonsense. x can be any rational number of even a square root of a rational number, for example, sqrt(2/3), and x*x will be rational.

False


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.


Is the following a conjunction disjunction conditional or biconditional A number is odd if and only if it is not even?

The statement is bi-conditional. The "if and only if" should have tipped you off immediately.


What the true biconditional statement that can be formed from the conditional statement If a number is divisible by 2 then it is even and its converse.?

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.
