I wrote these statements Conditional: If we get to the chopper, Then Dr.Madness will be defeated. Code#1b(inverse): If we do not get to the chopper, then Dr.Madness will not be defeated. Code#2b(converse): If Dr.Madness is defeated, then we made it to the chopper. Code#3b(contrapositive): If Dr.Madness is not defeated, then we did not make it to the chopper. How can I tell which ones are logically equivilent?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

contrapositive is always logically equivalent to the original conditional statemetn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but what about inverse and converse?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what do u think

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

maybe consider inverse first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Conditional: If we get to the chopper, Then Dr.Madness will be defeated. Code#1b(inverse): If we do not get to the chopper, then Dr.Madness will not be defeated.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

getting to chopper may not be the only way, you can defeat Dr.Madness by many other ways. do u see how the inverse is not agreeing with the original conditional statement ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that makes a lot more sense. Thank you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how about converse ? Code#2b(converse): If Dr.Madness is defeated, then we made it to the chopper.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not going to be logically equivalent to the conditional
