2.2: An Introduction to LogicExpectations:L3.2.1: Know and use the terms of basic logic.L3.2.2: Use the connectives “not,” “and,” “or,” and

“if..., then,” in mathematical and everyday settings. Know the truth table of each connective and how to logically negate statements involving these connectives.

L3.2.4: Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of an “If..., then...” statement. Use the fact, in mathematical and everyday settings, that the contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original while the inverse and converse are not.

Conditional Statements

“If I get an A on my test, then I get to go to Disneyworld.”

“If the sky is blue, then it is not raining.”

“If x2 = 16, then x = 4.”

Conditional Statements

Write, “If x = 3, then x + 4 = 7,” in logic form.

04/19/23 2.2: An Introduction to Logic

Other Forms of Conditionals

Instead of being written using the terms if and then, some conditionals are written using terms like, all, every and q if p.

All squares are rectangles.Every fraction is a real number.Angles are supplementary if they

form a linear pair.Vertical angles are congruent.

04/19/23 2.2: An Introduction to Logic

It can be very helpful to rewrite these other forms as if-then statements.
