3. Conditional Statement
Usually written in if-then form.
The if part is called the hypothesis.
The then part is called the conclusion.
Hypothesis and conclusions do not include the words if or then.
Example: If it is raining, then it is cloudy.
Hypothesis
Conclusion

conclusion
Answer: Hypothesis: a polygon has 6 sides Conclusion: it is a hexagon

7. Rewriting a Conditional in if-then form
You may go outside if you clean your room.

A. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of the following statement. Then write the statement in the if-then form.
Distance is positive.
Sometimes you must add information to a statement. Here you know that distance is measured or determined.
Answer: Hypothesis: a distance is measured Conclusion: it is positive If a distance is measured, then it is positive.

11. A. If an angle is acute, then it measures less than 90°.
B. Which of the following is the correct if-then form of the given statement? An angle that measures 45° is an acute angle.
A. If an angle is acute, then it measures less than 90°.

12. Writing a Counterexample
A counterexample must make the hypothesis true and the conclusion false.
If x2 = 16, then x = 4.
Counterexample: x = -4
x2 = 16, but x  4
True
False

13. Truth Values of Conditionals
A. Determine the truth value of the following statement for each set of conditions.
If Yukon rests for 10 days, his ankle will heal.
Yukon rests for 10 days, and he still has a hurt ankle.
The hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false.
Answer: Since the result is not what was expected, the conditional statement is false.
Lesson 3 Ex3

14. Truth Values of Conditionals
B. Determine the truth value of the following statement for each set of conditions.
If Yukon rests for 10 days, his ankle will heal.
Yukon rests for 3 days, and he still has a hurt ankle.
The hypothesis is false, and the conclusion is false. The statement does not say what happens if Yukon only rests for 3 days. His ankle could possibly still heal.
Answer: In this case, we cannot say that the statement is false. Thus, the statement is true.
Lesson 3 Ex3

15. Truth Values of Conditionals
C. Determine the truth value of the following statement for each set of conditions.
If Yukon rests for 10 days, his ankle will heal.
Yukon rests for 10 days, and he does not have a hurt ankle anymore.
The hypothesis is true since Yukon rested for 10 days, and the conclusion is true because he does not have a hurt ankle.
Answer: Since what was stated is true, the conditional statement is true.
Lesson 3 Ex3

16. Truth Values of Conditionals
D. Determine the truth value of the following statement for each set of conditions.
If Yukon rests for 10 days, his ankle will heal.
Yukon rests for 7 days, and he does not have a hurt ankle anymore.
The hypothesis is false, and the conclusion is true. The statement does not say what happens if Yukon only rests for 7 days.
Answer: In this case, we cannot say that the statement is false. Thus, the statement is true.

21. Symbolic Notation Given a conditional: if p, then q. Conditional p  q
Converse q  p
Inverse ~ p  ~ q
~ means “not”
Contrapositive ~ q  ~ p

22. Converse
The converse of a conditional switches the hypothesis and the conclusion.
Original:
If you own a black car, then you drive fast.
Converse:
If you drive fast, then you own a black car.

23. Inverse
The negation of the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional.
Conditional:
If mA = 30o, then A is acute.
Inverse:
If mA  30o, then A is not acute.

24. Contrapositive
The negation of the hypothesis and the conclusion of the converse of a conditional.
Conditional:
If you are tall, then you are smart.
Converse:
If you are smart, then you are tall.
Contrapositive:
If you are not smart, then you are not tall.

25. Conditional: If a shape is a square, then it is a rectangle.
Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the statement All squares are rectangles. Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is false, give a counterexample.
Conditional: If a shape is a square, then it is a rectangle.
The conditional statement is true.
Converse: If a shape is a rectangle, then it is a square.
The converse is false.
A rectangle with l = 2 and w = 4 is not a square.
Inverse: If a shape is not a square, then it is not a rectangle.
The inverse is false.
A 4-sided polygon with sides 2, 2, 4, and 4 is not a square.
Contrapositive:
If a shape is not a rectangle, then it is not a square.
The contrapositive is true.

26. Logically Equivalent Statements
Two statements that are both true or both false.
A conditional is equivalent to its contrapositive.
The inverse is equivalent to the converse.

27. A. All 4 statements are true.
Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the statement The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90. Which of the following correctly describes the truth values of the four statements?
A. All 4 statements are true.
B. Only the conditional and contrapositive are true.
C. Only the converse and inverse are true.
D. All 4 statements are false. A B C D
