- We can form some new conditional statements starting with a conditional statement p → q
- In particular, there are three related conditional statements that occur so often that they
have special names
There are three other easily derived implications for every given implication.
• Given an implication. p → q
The three other derived implications are
• q→ p is the contrapositive
• q →p is the converse
• p → q is the inverse
