The inverse of a given statement is equivalent to the original statement. true or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the inverse means that it's something different from the original right? So how can something that changed be the same as the original.

Parth (parthkohli):

Inverse of if P then Q is if not P then not Q.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO FALSE

Parth (parthkohli):

If it is a square then it is a polygon. If it is not a square then it is not a polygon. The second line is false, so false.

Parth (parthkohli):

The second line may apply to triangles too, and they are polygons.

Parth (parthkohli):

@Romero lol you got the definition wrong, but answer right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so the answer was false??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, it is false lolol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so if T is T than its T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if T is F thans its f

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it's hard for me to explain this but I was thinking about inverse of functions. How an inverse will not be the same as the original

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well just consider x^2 its inverse sqrtx one looks like a u the other like a c So they are different.

Parth (parthkohli):

It's False, so F.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im saying look at this

Parth (parthkohli):

@timo86m @Romero look, this is not that thing. This is logical inverse.

Parth (parthkohli):

@ParthKohli

Parth (parthkohli):

Lol how can two F's be T?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao i was thinking that

Parth (parthkohli):

This table is incorrect. FALSE.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys!

Parth (parthkohli):

TEEHEE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the same method of thinking how inverse of a function is not the same as the original carries the same in here right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh now you talking about boolean logic lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is just a boolean logic table for a and statement f and f = t
