Problem 1 Got It?

Problem 2 Got It?

Take Note: Define truth value.

Take Note: Describe how a counterexample can help you identify the truth value of a conditional.

Problem 3 Got It? Is the conditional true or false? If it is false, provide a counterexample on the canvas.

If a month has 28 days, then it is February.

Problem 3 Got It? Is the conditional true or false? If it is false, provide a counterexample on the canvas.

If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

Take Note: Define negation.

Take Note: Type the symbol used to represent negation.

Enter only one character.

Take Note: Which statement always has an equivalent truth value with the conditional?

Take Note: Which statement always has an equivalent truth value with the inverse?

Take Note: Categorize the items on the left based on which type of conditional they represent.

  • If not q, then not p.
  • q \rightarrow p
  • Exchange the hypothesis and conclusion of the original conditional.
  • p \rightarrow q
  • \sim p \rightarrow \sim q
  • Conditional
  • Converse
  • Inverse
  • Contrapositive
