How can the following definition be written correctly as a biconditional statement?
An odd integer is an integer that is not divisible by two.
(A+ answer) An integer is odd if and only if it is not divisible by two
There is no number, no matter the number of digits, that is only divisible by 2.
The concept of divisibility makes sense only in the context of integers. Otherwise every number is divisible by every non-zero number.
No. 47 is a prime number and is only divisible by 1 and itself.
The only factor of 1 is 1.2 is a prime number. It is only evenly divisible by itself and one.3 is a prime number. It is only evenly divisible by itself and one.5 is a prime number. It is only evenly divisible by itself and one.7 is a prime number. It is only evenly divisible by itself and one.The factors of 9 are: 1, 3, and 9.The only prime factor of 9 is: 3.11 is a prime number. It is only evenly divisible by itself and one.
Do you mean what is a number that has exactly two factors? If so the answer is a prime number. Eg. 2,3,5,7,11..... They are only divisible by 1 and themselves
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.
true
a condtional statement may be true or false but only in one direction a biconditional statement is true in both directions
If a number is nonzero, then the number is positive.
the statement IFF means "if and only if"
A biconditional statement is a statement that connects two other statements with the phrase "if and only if." Five examples of biconditional statements are: A triangle is equilateral if and only if all of its sides are congruent. A number is divisible by 4 if and only if it is divisible by 2 twice. A polygon is a square if and only if it has four congruent sides and four right angles. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if its opposite sides are parallel. A function is continuous if and only if it is differentiable at every point in its domain.
The statement is bi-conditional. The "if and only if" should have tipped you off immediately.
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.
An integer is odd if and only if it is not divisible by two.
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.
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.
An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
