Learning Targets I can recognize conditional statements and their parts. I can write the converse of conditional statements. 11/24/2020 Geometry 4
Conditional Statement A conditional statement has two parts, a hypothesis and a conclusion. When conditional statements are written in if-then form, the part after the “if” is the hypothesis, and the part after the “then” is the conclusion. p → q 11/24/2020 Geometry 5
Example 1: State the hypothesis and conclusion. If you are 13 years old, then you are a teenager. Hypothesis: You are 13 years old Conclusion: You are a teenager 11/24/2020 Geometry 6
Example 1: Rewrite in the if-then form All mammals breathe oxygen If an animal is a mammal, then it breathes oxygen. A number divisible by 9 is also divisible by 3 If a number s divisible by 9, then it is divisible by 3. 11/24/2020 Geometry 7
Negation The negative of the statement Example: Write the negative of the statement A is acute A is not acute ~p represents “not p” or the negation of p 11/24/2020 Geometry 8
Converse, Inverse and Contrapositive Converse The converse of a conditional is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion. The converse of p → q is q → p Inverse Negate the hypothesis and the conclusion The inverse of p → q, is ~p → ~q Contrapositive Negate the hypothesis and the conclusion of the converse The contrapositive of p → q, is 11/24/2020 Geometry ~q → ~p. 9
Example Write the (a) inverse, (b) converse, and (c) contrapositive of the statement. If two angles are vertical, then the angles are congruent. (a) Inverse: If 2 angles are not vertical, then they are not congruent. (b) Converse: If 2 angles are congruent, then they are vertical. (c) Contrapositive: If 2 angles are not congruent, then they are not vertical. 11/24/2020 Geometry 10
Equivalent Statements When 2 statements are both true or both false A conditional statement is equivalent to its contrapositive. The inverse and the converse of any conditional are equivalent. 11/24/2020 Geometry 11
