3. Conditional Statements

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 54 Page 113

Use the conditional statement from the previous exercise.

Converse: If an animal is a zebra, then it has stripes.
Truth value: True.

Practice makes perfect

In the previous exercise, we have written the conditional of the given statement.

If an animal has stripes, then it is a zebra .

Next, we will write the converse of the given statement. We can show the converse of a conditional symbolically.

\underline{Conditional} p \to q \underline{Converse} q \to p

Let's write it!

If an animal is a zebra, then it has stripes .

Since all zebras have stripes, we can conclude that when the hypothesis is true, the conclusion is also true. Thus, the statement is true.
