Guiding question: What is a biconditional?
Variations of a Conditional What are the variations of a conditional? We will learn one more related form of a conditional.
The Conditional and Converse Write the converse of the conditional, and determine the truth value. If a substance is water, then its chemical formula is H2O. Converse: If a substance’s chemical formula is H2O, then the substance is water. Truth values: Conditional = True Converse = True Note: When a conditional and its converse are true, they can be combined to form a biconditional.
Biconditionals Notice that the biconditional states ‘if p then qand if q then p’. In other words the biconditional states ‘p if and only if q’.
Biconditionals Notice that the biconditional states ‘if p then qand if q then p’. In other words the biconditional states ‘p if and only if q’. Which is represented by the symbol:
Writing a Biconditional Statement Consider this true conditional statement. Write its converse. If the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. If x = 5, then x + 15 = 20. Converse: If x + 15 = 20, then x = 5. TRUE Biconditional: x = 5 if and only if x + 15 = 20. OR x + 15 = 20 if and only if x = 5.
Writing a Biconditional Statement Write the converse of the following true conditional. If the converse is also true, then combine the statements as a biconditional. If three points are collinear, then they lie on the same line.
Separating a Biconditional Statement You can write a biconditional as two conditionals that are the converse of each other. Write the two statements that form this biconditional: Lines are skew if and only if they are noncoplanar. If lines are skew then they are noncoplanar. If lines are noncoplanar, then they are skew.
Separating a Biconditional Statement Write two statements that form this biconditional about integers greater than 1: A number is prime if and only if it has only two distinct factors, 1 and itself.
Biconditionals and the Real-World In Geometry, and the real-world, definitions are important. A good definition is a statement that can help you to identify or classify an object. A good definition… Is clear and uses terms that are already defined, Is precise and non-ambiguous Is reversible… a true biconditional!
Biconditionals and Definitions Show that this definition of a triangle is reversible. Then write it as a true biconditional. A triangle is a polygon with exactly three sides. Statement 1: If a polygon is a triangle then it has exactly three sides. True Statement 2: If a polygon has exactly three sides then it is a triangle. True Biconditional: A polygon is a triangle if and only if it has exactly three sides.
Biconditionals and Definitions Show that this definition of a right angle is reversible. Then write it as a true biconditional. DefinitionA right angle is an angle whose measure is 90.
Biconditionals and Definitions One way to show that a statement is not a good definition is to find a counterexample. Is the given statement a good definition? Explain. An airplane is a vehicle that flies. Statement 1: If a vehicle is an airplane, then it flies. TRUE Statement 2: If a vehicle flies, then it is an airplane. FALSE Counterexample: A helicopter is a vehicle that flies, but a helicopter is not an airplane. The statement is not a good definition because it is not reversible.
Biconditionals and Definitions Is the given statement a good definition? Explain. A triangle has sharp corners. Statement 1: If it is a triangle, then it has sharp corners. TRUE Statement 2: If is has sharp corners, then it is a triangle. FALSE Counterexample: Depending on what is meant by sharp, a square could be considered to have sharp corners. The statement is not a good definition because it uses the imprecise word sharp, and it is not reversible.
Biconditionals and Definitions Is the following statement a good definition? Explain. A square is a figure with four right angles.
