OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what does that second statemen say?

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

^ I think the second statement is the picture below the first

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

As for what it is thinking it may be a Converse (i looked up the definition)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the picture. It's asking what the second formula's relation with the first one is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, so converse right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope.

Parth (parthkohli):

The second statement says the following: If not A then not B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember this one: http://openstudy.com/users/marcoduuuh#/updates/504b8d90e4b0985a7a58ae2f ?

Parth (parthkohli):

Statement: If P then Q. Inverse: If not P then not Q. Contrapositive: If not Q then not P. Converse: If Q then P.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I got it! It's contrapositive because it's basically saying the same statement yet in a different way. Thank you guys!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No? I thought it was like the other problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, wouldn't that be inverse then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If "If A then B." = statement, then "If not-A then not-B." = inverse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, & contrapositive would be saying the same thing but switching the A and B right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Contrapositive says the same thing in the sense that the meaning of the statement is the same. Statement: p -> q Contrapositive: not-q -> not-p. The contrapositive is the converse of the inverse (or the inverse of the converse).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
