If your statement is `If p , then q ` The converse would be `If q , then p` And the inverse would be `If not p , then not q ` And the contrapositive would be `If not q , then not p `

AZ:

So we have `If I win, then you don't lose` What is the converse, inverse, and contrapositive?

AZ:

And then ask yourself if that statement makes any sense. If it does, then it's true. If it doesn't, then it's false

idekanymore14:

for converse i got "if you win, then i don't lose"

AZ:

no no no

AZ:

you don't change the words from I to you

idekanymore14:

idk man-

AZ:

you flip around the order

idekanymore14:

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

daddysbabygirl:

you don't lose if I win

idekanymore14:

so if i don't lose, then you win ?

daddysbabygirl:

yes

daddysbabygirl:

so if you don't lose then I win

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @idekanymore14 so if i don't lose, then you win ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no, stop changing I and you

idekanymore14:

i didn't- i changed don't lose nd win ....

daddysbabygirl:

so if you don't lose, then i win ?

AZ:

the sentence is IF I WIN, THEN YOU DON'T LOSE

idekanymore14:

right

AZ:

we switch it so it's going to be if YOU DON'T LOSE, then I WIN

daddysbabygirl:

k then

AZ:

Do you see?? We went from If P then Q to the converse which is If Q, then P

idekanymore14:

Yu jus said not to switxh i and you tho-

AZ:

buddy

AZ:

you have to switch the PHRASES

AZ:

not just one word

idekanymore14:

ohhhhhhhhhh

idekanymore14:

ye i gotxhu now

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ If your statement is `If p , then q ` The converse would be `If q , then p` And the inverse would be `If not p , then not q ` And the contrapositive would be `If not q , then not p ` \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) now, can you do the inverse?

AZ:

Just add the word `not` in front of the original sentence in the question

AZ:

we can fix the English/Grammar of it afterwards

idekanymore14:

so inverse would be "if i don't win then you don't lose." ??

AZ:

almost, but you forgot about the `not` in the second half so it would be you don't don't lose which is a double negative so it cancels out

AZ:

make sense?

idekanymore14:

so "if i don't win, then you lose." ?

AZ:

You got it!

AZ:

Now for contrapositive If not q , then not p just flip the order you say it in

idekanymore14:

ok ok so contra. would be "if you don't lose, then i win." ?

AZ:

no that's the the converse to make it the contrapositive, add `not` in front of both phrases in this: "if you don't lose, then I win"

idekanymore14:

ok ok so "if you lose , then I don't win." ?

AZ:

There you go!

AZ:

Now does the phrase even make sense If I tell you I won so you didn't lose if it makes sense, then it's true otherwise, it's false

idekanymore14:

Thank you soooo much . I really appreciate your help, but can we do the next one just to be safe ?

idekanymore14:

Yes.

AZ:

I guess it makes sense if we're on the same team it's a weird sentence anyway haha

idekanymore14:

nvm i got what yu meant .

idekanymore14:

nvm i got what yu meant .

AZ:

Do you want to get started on the next one?

idekanymore14:

yes please .

Hero:

idekanymore14:
