I need some help with Geometric Reasoning
the converse means you switch the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement.
so you would take the first half of the statement, and move it to the end
does that make any sense? lol
ummm sorta but i kinda need help and explaining with the problems like step by step with each one @OpTicRebekah
well for the first one, it says if a number is a prime number, then its divisible by one and itself. so we would take the second half of the statement (which comes after the comma) and move it to the front. you would need to change the wording around a bit for it to make sense too.
so the first one would be if a number is divisible by 1 and itself, its a prime number
and then determine if the converse of that statement is true. understand that?
that actually makes sense
yep. (: so do you still need help on the others?
yes just a little bitbut before that i would really like to say thank you because i'm struggling quite a bit in my math but good in everything else i just want to get it down and remember it
its really no problem! but anyways, for the second one, we just need to find which statement is true.
so do you see any answer choices that you can eliminate?
Well A nd B can be eliminated
actually hold on we first need to find the converse of each statement sorry lol
then after we find the converse, we can determine which ones are false
I say that the answer is D
i agree (:
okay for the last one, a good definition has clearly understood terms, is precise, and is reversible, which means it can be biconditional
a biconditional combines a true conditional statement and its true converse and is written by joining the two conditionals with the words "if and only if"
so for example, a conditional statement of "if today is Tuesday, then yesterday was Monday" is turned into a biconditional statement in the sentence "today is Monday if and only if omorrow is Tuesday"
sorry if im a little bit confusing, im trying help out as much as i can without giving away the answers directly
