Question

Refer to the following conditional statement:

If a and b are odd integers, then a + b is an even integer.

Which is the converse of the statement?

a + b is an even integer
If a + b is not an even integer, then a and b are not odd integers.
If a and b are not odd integers, then a + b is not an even integer.
If a + b is an even integer, then a and b are odd integers.

Answer 1

I suggest you pick actual number for a and b (odd). Lets say for example a = 3 and b = 5.

Answer 2

a + b is an even integer??

Answer 3

In Boolean, If A , then B is expressed \(A\rightarrow B\)
so, if converse that boolean, you have \(\neg B\rightarrow \neg A\)
Your A is "a and b are odd integers"
Your B is "a +b is an even integer"
Can you continue now?

Answer 4

Yeah, thanks
