- 2. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 2 Conditional Statement Definition: A conditional statement is a statement that can be written in if-then form. “If _____________, then ______________.” Example: If your feet smell and your nose runs, then you're built upside down. Continued……
- 3. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 3 Conditional Statement - continued Conditional Statements have two parts: The hypothesis is the part of a conditional statement that follows “if” (when written in if-then form.) The conclusion is the part of an if-then statement that follows “then” (when written in if-then form.) The hypothesis is the given information, or the condition. The conclusion is the result of the given information.
- 4. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 4 Conditional statements can be written in “if-then” form to emphasize which part is the hypothesis and which is the conclusion. Writing Conditional Statements Hint: Turn the subject into the hypothesis. Example 1: Vertical angles are congruent. can be written as... If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. Conditional Statement: Example 2: Seals swim. can be written as... Conditional Statement: If an animal is a seal, then it swims.
- 5. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 5 If …Then vs. Implies Two angles are vertical implies they are congruent. Another way of writing an if-then statement is using the word implies. If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent.
- 6. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 6 Conditional Statements can be true or false: A conditional statement is false only when the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false. A counterexample is an example used to show that a statement is not always true and therefore false. If you live in Virginia, then you live in Richmond. Statement: Counterexample: I live in Virginia, BUT I live in Glen Allen. Is there a counterexample? Therefore () the statement is false. Yes !!!
- 7. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 7 Symbolic Logic Symbols can be used to modify or connect statements. Symbols for Hypothesis and Conclusion: Hypothesis is represented by “p”. Conclusion is represented by “q”. if p, then q or p implies q Continued…..
- 8. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 8 Symbolic Logic - continued if p, then q or p implies q is used to represent p q Example: p: a number is prime q: a number has exactly two divisors If a number is prime, then it has exactly two divisors. pq: Continued…..
- 9. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 9 is used to represent the word “not” ~ Symbolic Logic - continued Example 1: p: the angle is obtuse The angle is not obtuse ~p means that the angle could be acute, right, or straight. ~p: Note: Example 2: p: I am not happy ~p: I am happy ~p took the “not” out- it would have been a double negative (not not)
- 10. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 10 is used to represent the word Symbolic Logic - continued “and” Example: p: a number is even q: a number is divisible by 3 A number is even and it is divisible by 3. i.e. 6,12,18,24,30,36,42... pq:
- 11. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 11 is used to represent the word Symbolic Logic- continued “or” Example: p: a number is even q: a number is divisible by 3 pq: A number is even or it is divisible by 3. i.e. 2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,...
- 12. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 12 is used to represent the word “therefore” Symbolic Logic - continued Example: Therefore, the statement is false. the statement is false
- 13. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 13 Forms of Conditional Statements Converse: Switch the hypothesis and conclusion (q p) pq If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. qp If two angles are congruent, then they are vertical. Continued…..
- 14. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 14 Forms of Conditional Statements Inverse: State the opposite of both the hypothesis and conclusion. (~p~q) pq : If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. ~p~q: If two angles are not vertical, then they are not congruent.
- 15. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 15 Forms of Conditional Statements Contrapositive: Switch the hypothesis and conclusion and state their opposites. (~q~p) pq : If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. ~q~p: If two angles are not congruent, then they are not vertical.
- 16. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 16 Forms of Conditional Statements Contrapositives are logically equivalent to the original conditional statement. If pq is true, then qp is true. If pq is false, then qp is false.
- 17. Lesson 2-1 Conditional Statements 17 Biconditional When a conditional statement and its converse are both true, the two statements may be combined. Use the phrase if and only if (sometimes abbreviated: iff) Statement: If an angle is right then it has a measure of 90. Converse: If an angle measures 90, then it is a right angle. Biconditional: An angle is right if and only if it measures 90.
