The second statement is the ___________ of the first. A. contrapositive B. converse C. contradiction D. inverse (Picture below.)
what does that second statemen say?
^ I think the second statement is the picture below the first
As for what it is thinking it may be a Converse (i looked up the definition)
It's the picture. It's asking what the second formula's relation with the first one is.
Hmm, so converse right?
Nope.
The second statement says the following: If not A then not B.
Remember this one: http://openstudy.com/users/marcoduuuh#/updates/504b8d90e4b0985a7a58ae2f ?
Statement: If P then Q. Inverse: If not P then not Q. Contrapositive: If not Q then not P. Converse: If Q then P.
Alright, I got it! It's contrapositive because it's basically saying the same statement yet in a different way. Thank you guys!
Still nope.
No? I thought it was like the other problem?
Wait, wouldn't that be inverse then?
If "If A then B." = statement, then "If not-A then not-B." = inverse.
Alright, & contrapositive would be saying the same thing but switching the A and B right?
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).
so wat is it?
