In logic and mathematics, contraposition, or transposition, refers to the inference of going from a conditional statement into its logically equivalent contrapositive, and an associated proof method known as § Proof by contrapositive.
contrapositive: If \(m\) is not an odd number, then it is not a prime number. converse: If \(m\) is an odd number, then it is a prime number. inverse: If \(m\) is not a prime number, then it is not an odd number.
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.
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, \[\text{ the contrapositive of } A\Rightarrow B\text{ is the implication }\lnot B\Rightarrow\lnot A\]
Learn how to form contrapositive and converse statements from conditional statements in mathematics. See examples, definitions, truth tables and differences between them.
28 lis 2020 · contrapositive: If a conditional statement is \(p\rightarrow q\) (if \(p\) then q), then the contrapositive is \(\sim q\rightarrow \sim p\) (if not q then not p). converse: If a conditional statement is \(p\rightarrow q\) (if \(p\), then \(q\)), then the converse is \(q\rightarrow p\) (if \(q\), then \(p\).
1 What is a Contrapositive? A Counter-Example? A Converse? \if P then Q" is logically equivalent to \if not Q then not P" Our goal is to get to the point where we can do the contrapositive mentally. In other words, we want to be able to read a conditional statement (if P then Q) and immediately \see" the contrapositive. There are
