Logic: write the converse and contrapositive of the following statement:
for all real numbers x, if -1
@triciaal @Nnesha

Converse is correct :) We have make some clever adjustments for the Contrapositive though.
The problem we is that \(\large\rm x+1<0\) is not the negation of \(\large\rm x+1>0\)
x+1>=0 maybe
You need to also include the 0 value (since you didn't at the start.). \(\large\rm \neg\left[x+1>0\right]\equiv \left[x+1\le0\right]\) Yes good good :)
Oh maybe I misread your answer too quickly hehe
We flip the sign, but we also include 0.
ooh so x+1>=0 would make it correct right
No. You didn't flip your inequality sign. x+1 > 0 Should change to x+1 <= 0
But we also need to fix the other inequality. That one is a bit more difficult.
|dw:1473729558393:dw|\[\large\rm -1<x\le0\]Drawing a number line will really help on this one.
ok then .. if i undertand correctly for all real numbers x, if x+1 <=0 then -1>=x>0
|dw:1473729764886:dw|Do you understand how I graphed the inequality? It's this shaded region in the middle for \(\large\rm -1<x\le0\) ya?
