Answer 3

break the given statement into two pieces at the word "then"

Answer 4

If students are allowed to use technology such as computers, calculators and tablets,

then

they will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the math concepts presented within their course.

Answer 5

the first part is A
the second part is B

Answer 6

lets write out \(inverse\) :

If students are NOT allowed to use technology such as computers, calculators and tablets,

then

they will NOT be able to develop a deeper understanding of the math concepts presented within their course.

Answer 7

see if that makes more or less sense...

Answer 8

Im So Confuse

Answer 9

So That Mean The Converse Would Be "If Students Are Allowed To Use Technology Such As Computers, Calculators And Tablets

THEN

They Would Be Able To Develop A Deeper Understanding Of Math Concepts Presented Within The Course

Answer 10

for converse, u need to switch A and B

Answer 11

So It Would Be The Other Way Around "They Would Be Able To Develop A Deeper Understanding Of Math Concepts Presented Within The Course"

Answer 12

It's a nice theory, but my experience on OpenStudy suggests that kids who only use calculators don't develop a deeper understanding, and often turn out not to be good at either using their calculator OR recognizing when the result is wrong, which is a deadly combination...

Answer 13

I apologize for injecting real life into a logic problem, won't let it happen again! :-)

This Is The Converse?

Answer 19

it should say something like below :-

\(converse\) :

If students are able to develop a deeper understanding of the math concepts presented within their course.

then

the students will be allowed to use technology such as computers, calculators and tablets,

Answer 20

i was close thanks so how would the contrapositive be

Answer 21

yes you're very close :)

Answer 22

for contrapositive, just negate each statement in converse

Answer 23

im confuse so it would be the same as converse?

Answer 24

\(contrapositive :\)

If students are NOT able to develop a deeper understanding of the math concepts presented within their course.

then

the students will NOT be allowed to use technology such as computers, calculators and tablets,

Answer 25

Answer 26

it makes alot more sense thank you

Answer 27

Use any statement you created for Part 1 to write an essay detailing your point of view. You may agree or disagree with any statement from Part 1. Remember that formulating an essay takes research and time to get yourself to the point where you can defend your position thoroughly. You must provide evidence to support and strengthen your claim. Also, show any limitations and weaknesses of opposing evidence you find. Your essay should be written in a formal style that is clear and coherent. Finally, make sure to provide a conclusion that supports the argument you presented within the body of your essay.
