What is a mathematical statement?

A Mathematical Statement is a statement that can be judged true or false.

Example: The President of the united states is Barack Obama and the vice president is Joe Biden.

*Both statements must be true for the statement to be true.

4 Conditions can be formed:

  • The conditional: "if it is raining then it is cloudy"
  • The inverse: "if its raining then its not cloudy"
  • The converse: "if it is cloudy then its raining"
  • Contrapositive: "if it is not cloudy then it is not raining"
A. The inverse of "if it is cold, then i will take my coat" > "if it is not cold, then i will not take my coat"

B. Let one statement be: Twice Talias age is 10 - Hyp

Let second statement be: Talia is 5 years old - Conclusion

Inverse: If twice talia's age is 10 then talia is 5 years old
