i dont get it :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equivalent to what?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to the inverse converse or contrapositive of a statement mine is if we tell the mayor then dr madness will be defeated sorry i know its suuper cheesy its what i have to do though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the conditional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the converse Dr. madness will be defeated if we tell the mayor contrapositive dr madness will not be defeated if we do not tell the mayor inverse if we do not tell the mayor then dr madness will not be defeated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to know if the converse contrapositive or inverse is logically equivalent why or why not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Contrapositive is logically equivalent to the statement. (A->B is same as ~B->~A)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so neither of the other ones are logically equivalent??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knew that but i wasnt sure lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, inverse and converse aren't logically equivalent to the original statement. (The converse and inverse are contrapositive to each other, so those two are logically equivalent.)

oh okaaay thanks
