Objectives: Recognize conditional statements Write converses of conditional statements

1. Section 2-1: Conditional Statements TPI 32C: Use inductive and deductive reasoning to make conjectures, draw conclusions, and solve problems • Objectives: • Recognize conditional statements • Write converses of conditional statements Vocabulary Conditional Statement: Another name for an If-Then statement Contains hypothesis and conclusion Hypothesis: a guess or assumption Conclusion: inference made from a hypothesis; the result Converse: switches the hypothesis and conclusion

2. Conditional Statement Definition: A conditional statement is a statement that can be written in if-then form. “If _____________, then ______________.” Conditional Statements have two parts: hypothesis conclusion • Hypothesis: • the given information or condition • Follows the word “If” • 2. Conclusion: • the result of the given information • Follows the word “then” Example: Ifyour feet smell and your nose runs, then you're built upside down.

3. Writing Conditional Statements Conditional statements can be written in “if-then” form to emphasize which part is the hypothesis and which is the conclusion. Hint: Turn the subject into the hypothesis. Example 1: Vertical angles are congruent. can be written as... Conditional Statement: If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. Example 2: Seals swim. can be written as... Conditional Statement: If an animal is a seal, then it swims.

4. Truth Value of Conditional Statements 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. Statement: If you live in Virginia, then you live in Richmond. Is there a counterexample? Yes !!! Counterexample: I live in Virginia, BUT I live in Glen Allen. Therefore () the statement is false.

5. Exploring a Conditional Statement Name the hypothesis and conclusion for the following conditional statements. Can you find a counterexample to make the statement false? Conditional statement: If y – 3 = 5, then y = 8. Hypothesis (Given): y – 3 = 5 Conclusion (Result): y = 8 Conditional statement: If it is February, then there are only 28 days. Hypothesis: It is February Conclusion: There are only 28 days. Counterexample: Leap year (2009) has 29 days. Therefore () the conditional is false.

6. Write a Conditional Statement Write a sentence as a conditional (If-then). A rectangle has four right angles. (First write two complete sentences; one for the hypothesis and one for the conclusion) Hypothesis: A figure is a rectangle. Conclusion: It has four right angles. Conditional: If a figure is a rectangle, then it has four right angles. 5 Write a sentence as a conditional. A integer that ends with 0 is divisible by 5. Hypothesis: An integer ends in 0. Conclusion: It is divisible by 5. Conditional: If an integer ends in 0, then it is divisible by 5.

7. Use a Venn Diagram to illustrate a Conditional Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the following conditional: If you live in Chicago, then you live in Illinois. Residents Of Illinois Residents Of Chicago

8. Converse of a Conditional Statement The converse of a conditional is formed by interchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the original statement. In other words, the parts of the sentence change places, but the words “If” and “then” do not move. Conditional statement: "If the space shuttle was launched, then a cloud of smoke was seen." The converse is... "If a cloud of smoke was seen, then the space shuttle was launched." A conditional and its converse can have two different truth values, meaning… the conditional can be true and its converse can be false. Ponder this!! Conditional: If a figure is a square, then it has four sides. Converse: If a figure has four sides, then it is a square. The converse is false since a rectangle has 4 sides, but is not a square.

9. Conditional Converse Hypothesis Conclusion Hypothesis Conclusion x = 9 x + 3 = 12 x + 3 = 12 x = 9 Converse of a Conditional Statement Write the converse of the conditional: If x = 9, then x + 3 = 12. The converse of a conditional exchanges the hypothesis and the conclusion. So the converse is: If x + 3 = 12, then x = 9.

10. = / Converse of a Conditional Statement Write the converse of the conditional, and determine the truth value of each: If a2 = 25, a = 5. Conditional: If a2 = 25, then a = 5. The converse exchanges the hypothesis and conclusion. Converse: If a = 5, then a2 = 25. The conditional is false. A counterexample is a = –5: (–5)2 = 25, and –5 5. Because 52 = 25, the converse is true.

11. 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 or p  q :

12. Symbolic Logic Conditional: Hypothesis and conclusion (p  q) Converse: Switch the hypothesis and conclusion (q  p) pqIftwo angles are vertical, thenthey are congruent. qpIftwo angles are congruent, thenthey are vertical.

13. Summary

14. Think for yourself! Who? Me? 1. Write your own conditional statement on a separate sheet of paper. 2. Switch your conditional statement with your shoulder partner. 3. Partners write the hypothesis and conclusion in complete, separate sentences. 4. Partners switch papers again. 5. Partners write the converse of the conditional statement. 6. Together, partners determine the truth value of their statements.
