Unit 2 pt 1 Flashcards
conditional statement
a type of logical statement that has 2 parts, a hypothesis and a conclusion
If= ______________, then = _________________
hypothesis, conclusion
Counterexample
an example that shows a conjecture is false
(a single example that shows a general conditional statement to be false)
converse
the statement formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement
EX: Conditional - If you live in South Brunswick, then you live in New Jersey. (T)
FIND CONVERSE
If you live in NJ, then you live in SB. (F)
EX: Conditional - If you are a native New Jersey, then you were born in New Jersey. (T)
FIND CONVERSE
If you were born in NJ, you are a native New Jersyan. (T)
BiConditional
a segment that contains the phrase “if and only if”
EX: Conditional statement - If it is Saturday, then I can sleep late.
FIND BICONDITIONAL
If and only if it is a Saturday, I can sleep late.
When will you not have a biconditional?
If the conditional statement and the converse are both true, then you will have a biconditional. Otherwise, you won’t.
p = ?, q= ?
p = Hypothesis, q = conclusion
Reflexive Property
For any real numbers a, a=a
Symmetric property
If a=b, then b=a
Transitive Property
If a = b and b = c, then a = c
Addition Property
If a = b, then a + c = b +c
Subtraction Property
if a = b, then a - c = b - c
