2. 2.2 If-Then Statements and Postulates
3. Vocabulary If-then statements
Conditional Statements
hypothesis
conclusion
converse
negation
inverse
contrapositive
Postulate
4. Vocabulary: If-then statements:
if ______ then _____.
Conditional statements:
if ______ then _____.
5. Vocabulary Hypothesis (given)
If ____ then ______.
6. Topic 1: IF-Then Statement If-Then Statements: A statement in If-Then form
Often called Conditional statement
If part is called the hypothesis
The if part is often given the variable p
The if part is always the GIVEN in reasoning
Then part is called the conclusion
The then part is given the variable q
The then part is always the CONJECTURE or PROVE in reasoning
In Words: If p then q
In Symbols: p ? q
Re-writing a statement in if-then form. Ask yourself two questions:
What are we talking about? (this is the If)
What about it? (this is the then)
7. Examples Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion
If it is raining then it is cloudy. Write the statement in if- then form
Adjacent angles have a common side
What are we talking about?
Adjacent angles
What about it?
They have a common side
If angles are adjacent then they have a common side
8. Vocabulary Negation: To say something is NOT
Example:
It is raining.
Negation: It is not raining
Symbol: ~
9. Re-writing in If-Then Statement Re-writing a statement in if-then form. Ask yourself two questions:
What are we talking about? (this is the If)
What about it? (this is the then)
Example: Vertical Angles are congruent
What are we talking about?
What about it?
10. Example Write the inverse, converse and contrapositive of the statement:
vertical angles are congruent.
Then determine if the statement is true.
Inverse:
Converse:
Contrapositive:
11. Example part 1 vertical angles are congruent.
If:
Then:
Inverse:
Converse:
Contrapositive:
12. Example part 2
13. YouTry
14. You try Write the inverse, converse and contrapositive of the statement: a line contains at least two points. Then determine if the statement is true:
Inverse:
Converse:
Contrapositive:
15. Example Write the inverse of the conditional Vertical angles are congruent. Determine if the inverse is true or false. If false, give a counter-example.
Statement:
If (what are we talking about) then (what about it)
If angles are vertical then they are congruent
Inverse (~p?~q)
If angles are not vertical then they are not congruent
FALSE Write the contrapostive of the statement a line contains at least two points. Determine if the contrapositive is true or false. If false, give a counter-example.
Statement
If (what are we talking about) then (what about it)
If it is a line then it contains at least two points
Contrapositive (~q?~p)
If it does not contain at least two points then it is not a line
FALSE
16. Vocabulary Postulate: Rules that cannot be proven for sure—no counterexample has been found
Through any two points there is exactly one line
17. Vocabulary Postulate: Rules that cannot be proven for sure—no counterexample has been found
