OBJ: 3.1 Analyze an “if-then” statement, make a conclusion, and explain the reasoning. | 3.2
Make and justify a decision, using “what if?” questions, in contexts such as probability, finance,
sports, games or puzzles, with or without technology. | 3.3 Determine the converse, inverse and
contrapositive of an “if-then” statement; determine its veracity; and, if it is false, provide a
counterexample. | 3.4 Demonstrate, using examples, that the veracity of any statement does not
imply the veracity of its converse or inverse. | 3.6 Identify and describe contexts in which a
biconditional statement can be justified. | 3.7 Analyze and summarize, using a graphic organizer
such as a truth table or Venn diagram, the possible results of given logical arguments that involve
biconditional, converse, inverse or contrapositive statements.

41. ANS:
If the converse is true, then the inverse will also be true. The inverse and converse are logically
equivalent statements so if one is true the other must also be true.

43. ANS:
If the conditional statement is biconditional, then the statement, and its converse, inverse, and
contrapositive are all true. For the statement to be biconditional, the statement and its converse
must be true. If the statement is true, this means the contrapositive is also true. If the converse is
true, this means the inverse is also true.
