Please help, what is a conditional statement for : If it has 4 legs, then it is a horse.
What do you mean by, "a conditional statement for" ? Are you looking for a way to either prove or disprove this statement?
yes, I think it is : If it is a horse, then it has 4 legs. but not sure
That would be the `converse` of the original statement :) Make sure you understand that the original statement is already a conditional statement. So I'm not sure what you're asking for. The directions don't make sense.
If you wanted to disprove the statement, you could say something as simple as, "A cat has 4 legs, but it is not a horse"
okay thank you
Let me review to you the simplest system in hacking these definitions in your head Converse- Its conditional statement is swapped Inverse- Not swapped but negated Contrapositive- is both swapped and negated
A conditional statement, symbolized by p q, is an if-then statement in which p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion. The logical connector in a conditional statement is denoted by the symbol . The conditional is defined to be true unless a true hypothesis leads to a false conclusion. So yes they are looking to disprove this.
