Questions and Answers

What is the converse of a conditional statement?

  • Negating the hypothesis and conclusion

    Formed by negating the hypothesis and negating the conclusion of the original statement.

    Study Notes

    Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive

    • Converse: Results from switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement; represented as q -> p.
    • Inverse: Formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the original statement; represented as ~p -> ~q.
    • Contrapositive: Involves switching and negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement; represented as ~q -> ~p.

    Biconditional and Logical Theorems

    • Biconditional: True when both parts share the same truth value, expressed as "p if and only if q"; connects hypothesis p and conclusion q.
    • Law of Detachment: States if p -> q is true and p holds true, then q must also be true.
    • Law of Syllogism: If p -> q and q -> r are true, it can be concluded that p -> r is also true.

    Properties of Equality

    • Addition Property: If equal quantities are added to equal quantities, the resulting sums remain equal.
    • Reflexive Property: A quantity is always congruent to itself, denoted as a = a.
    • Substitution Property: Allows substitution in equations; if x = y, x can replace y in any equation, and vice versa.
    • Transitive Property: Establishes that if a = b and b = c, then a must equal c.
    • Symmetric Property: Indicates that if a = b, then it follows that b = a.
    • Subtraction Property: If equal quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the outcomes will remain equal.

    Angle Theorems and Properties

    • Congruent Complements Theorem: States that if two angles are complementary to the same angle, they are congruent to each other.
    • Congruent Supplements Theorem: If two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent to each other.
    • Linear Pair Postulate: Defines a linear pair as two adjacent angles whose non-shared rays form a straight line.
    • Vertical Angles Theorem: Establishes that if two angles are vertical, they are congruent to each other.
