Conditional StatementsConditional Statements

The conditional statement is a statement that can be written in the form “if p, then q”.

The hypothesis is a part p of a conditional statement following the word if.

The conclusion is the part q of a conditional statement following the word then.

By phrasing a conjecture as an if-then statement, you can quickly identify its

hypothesis and conclusion.

A) If a butterfly has a curved black line on its hind wing, then it is a viceroy.

Hypothesis: A butterfly has a curved black line on its hind wing.

Conclusion: A butterfly is a viceroy.

B) A number is an integer if it a natural number.

Hypothesis: A number is a natural number.

Conclusion: The number is an integer .

Now you try!

1) Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of the statement. “A number is divisible by 3 if it is divisible by 6”.

CONFIDENTIAL 7

Many sentences without the word if and then can be written as conditionals. To do so identify the sentence’s hypothesis and conclusion by figuring out which part of

the statement depends on the other.

Writing a conditional statementWriting a conditional statementWrite a conditional statement from each of the following:

A) The midpoint M of a segment bisects the segment.

The midpoint M of a segment bisects the segment.

B)

Conditional: If M is the midpoint of a segment, then M bisects the segment.

Tarantulas

The inner oval represents the hypothesis, and the outer oval represents the conclusion.

Conditional: If M is the midpoint of a segment, then M bisects the segment.

Conditional: If an animal is a Tarantulas then it is a spider.

2) Write a conditional statement from the statement. “Two angles that are complementary are acute”.

CONFIDENTIAL 10

A conditional statement has a truth value of either true (T) or false (F). It is false only

when the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. Consider the conditional “If I get paid, I will take you to the movie.”. If

I don’t get paid, I haven’t broken my promise. So the statement is still true.

To show that a conditional statement is false, you need to find only one counterexample where the

hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false.

CONFIDENTIAL 11

Analyzing the Truth Value of a Analyzing the Truth Value of a conditional statementconditional statement

Determine if each conditional is true. If false, give a counterexample.

A) If you live in El Paso, then you live in Texas.

When the hypothesis is true, the conclusion is also true because El Paso is in Texas. So the conditional is true.

B) If an angle is obtuse, then it has a measure of 1000.

You can draw an obtuse angle whose measure is not 1000. In this case the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false,

Since you can find the counterexample, the conditional is false.

CONFIDENTIAL 12

C) If an odd number is divisible by 2, then 8 is a perfect square.

An odd number is never divisible by 2, so the hypothesis is false. The number 8 is not a perfect square, so the conclusion is false. However, the conditional is true

because the hypothesis is false.

CONFIDENTIAL 13

Now you try!

3) Determine if the conditional “If a number is odd the it is divisible by 3” is true. If false, give a

counterexample.

CONFIDENTIAL 14

The negation of statement p is “not p” written as ~p. The negation of the statement

“M is the midpoint of AB” is “M is not the midpoint of AB”. The negation of a true

statement is false, and the negation of a false statement is true. Negations are used

to write related conditional statements.

statement. Also find the truth value of each statement:

If an insect is butterfly, then it has four wings.

Converse: If an insect has four wings then it is a butterfly.A moth is also an insect with four wings. So, the converse is false.

Inverse: If an insect is not a butterfly, then it does not have four wings.

A moth is not a butterfly, but it has four wings. So, the inverse is false.

Contrapositive: If an insect does not have four wings, then it is a butterfly.

Butterflies must have four wings. So, the Contrapositive is true.

4) Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the conditional statement “If an animal is a cat, then it has four paws”. Also find the truth value of each.

CONFIDENTIAL 18

In the example in the previous slide, the conditional statement and its contrapositive are both true, and

the converse and inverse are both false. Related conditional statements that have the same truth

value are called logically equivalent statements. A conditional and its contrapositive are logically

equivalent, and so are the converse and the inverse.

CONFIDENTIAL 19

Statement Example Truth Value

Conditional If m/A = 950, then /A is obtuse. T

Converse If /A is obtuse, then m/A = 950. F

Inverse If m/A ≠ 950, then /A is not obtuse. F

Contrapositive If /A is not obtuse, then m/A ≠ 950. T

However, the converse of a true conditional is not necessarily false. All four related conditionals can be true,

or all four can be false, depending on the statement.
