If a and b are odd integers, then a+b is an even integer. What is the converse of the conditional statement?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

what is converse?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

converse means you switch the "if" and "then" statements

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ex: if a then b ----> converse is = if b then a

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

if a+b is not an even integer, than a and b are not odd integers

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sorry for the mix-up

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

but you just switch the statements without adding "not"

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(i was thinking about inverse not converse whoops)

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

if a and b are not odd integers, then a+bis not an even integer

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no, just go back to the original statement

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

forget the "not" stuff

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

just switch the "if" and "then" statements without changing them

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

if a and b is an even integer, then a and b are odd integers

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sorry again for the confusion ;_:
