Is this statement also true? "If you are not too close, then you cannot read this." Explain.

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.

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

Problem 4 Got It? What is the converse of the conditional statement?

If a vegetable is a carrot, then it contains beta carotene.

What is the truth value of the converse? If the converse is false, give a counterexample.

Problem 4 Got It? What is the inverse of the conditional statement?

If a vegetable is a carrot, then it contains beta carotene.

Problem 4 Got It? What is the contrapositive of the conditional statement?

If a vegetable is a carrot, then it contains beta carotene.

Vocabulary: What are the hypothesis and the conclusion of the following statement? Write it as a conditional in if-then form.

Residents of Key West live in Florida.

Vocabulary: What are the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the statement? Which statements are true?

If a figure is a rectangle with sides 2 cm and 3 cm, then it has a perimeter of 10 cm.

Error Analysis: Your classmate rewrote the statement "You jog every Sunday." as the following conditional. What is your classmate's error? Correct it.

If you jog, then it is Sunday.

Reasoning: Suppose a conditional statement and its converse are both true. What are the truth values of the contrapositive and inverse? How do you know?

Review Lesson 2-1: Sketch a counterexample on the canvas to show that the statement is false.

You can connect any four points to form a rectangle.

You may also complete your work on paper or on a whiteboard and upload a clear picture of it to the canvas.

Review Lesson 1-8: Find the perimeter of a rectangle with the given base and height.

6 in., 12 in.

Enter the perimeter using the same format shown in the problem: "6 in."

Vocabulary Review: Identify the conclusion of the statement.

If the weather is nice, we will go swimming.
