If a statement's inverse is false, then its converse is false (and vice versa). If a statement's negation is false, then the statement is true (and vice versa). If a statement (or its contrapositive) and the inverse (or the converse) are both true or both false, then it is known as a logical biconditional .

- Inverse (logic)
In logic, an inverse is a type of conditional sentence which is an immediate inference made from another conditional sentence. More specifically, given a conditional sentence of the form , the inverse refers to the sentence . Since an inverse is the contrapositive of the converse, inverse and converse are logically equivalent to each other.
In logic and mathematics, the converse of a categorical or implicational statement is the result of reversing its two constituent statements. For the implication P → Q, the converse is Q → P.
3 sie 2024 · The converse of the conditional statement is “If Q then P.”. The contrapositive of the conditional statement is “If not Q then not P.”. The inverse of the conditional statement is “If not P then not Q.”. We will see how these statements work with an example.
The inverse of the conditional \(p \rightarrow q\) is \(\neg p \rightarrow \neg q\text{.}\) The contrapositive of this new conditional is \(\neg \neg q \rightarrow \neg \neg p\text{,}\) which is equivalent to \(q \rightarrow p\) by double negation.
5 dni temu · Contrapositive: A statement is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. The contrapositive negates both terms in an implication and switches their positions. For example, the contrapositive of "P implies Q" is the negation of Q implies the negation of P. Converse: The converse switches the positions of the terms. The converse of "P implies Q ...
11 lis 2022 · The contrapositive of an implication is the converse of its inverse (or the inverse of its converse, which amounts to the same thing). That is, \[\text{ the contrapositive of } A\Rightarrow B\text{ is the implication }\lnot B\Rightarrow\lnot A\]
