HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know a easy way to remember conditional statements, inverse, converse, contrapositive and biconditional?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

inverse --> opposite, converse --> backwards, contrapositive --> opposite and backwards, biconditional --> 2 arrows (<=>)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Inverse is opposite of the original statement? Like q-->p?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i means opposite like in negation........inverse of p =>q is ~p => ~q

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

backwards means flip the order, converse of p=>q is q=> p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flip is q-->p?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok...I THINK I've got it....

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

awesome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I'm sorry. can you explain the biconditional statement?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dx

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha......, biconditional statement looks like this, p <=>q, it means p=>q AND q =>p

OpenStudy (anonymous):
