A.

1. ~p = I don’t like math.

2. p^q = I like math and I like science.

3. pvq = I like math or I like science.

4. p→ r = If I like math, then I am an engineer.

5. ~p→ ~q = If I don’t like math, then I don’t like science.

6. p^q→r = I like math and If I like science, then I am an engineer.

7. ~p ↔~q = I don’t like math if and only if I don’t like science.

8. p ↔q = I like math if and only if I like science.

9. r ↔(p^q) = I am an engineer if and only if I like math and I like science.

10. ~p^~q = I don’t like math and I don’t like science.

1. If a polygon has four sides, then it is a quadrilateral.

Converse: If a polygon is a quadrilateral, then it has four sides.

Inverse: If a polygon does not have four sides, then it is not a quadrilateral.

Contrapositive: If a polygon is not a quadrilateral, then it does not have four sides.
2. If it rained last night, then the sidewalk is wet.

Converse: If the sidewalk is wet, then it rained last night.

Inverse: If it did not rain last night, then the sidewalk is not wet.

Contrapositive: If the sidewalk is not wet, then it did not rain last night.

3. If a number is divisible by 10, then the number ends in zero.

Converse: If the number ends in zero, then it is divided by 10.

Inverse: If a number is not divisible by 10, then the number does not end in zero.

Contrapositive: If a number does not end in zero, then it is not divided by 10.

4. If a quadrilateral is a rectangle, then it has two pairs of parallel sides.

Converse: If a rectangle has two parallel sides, then it is a quadrilateral.

Inverse: If a quadrilateral is not a rectangle, then is does not have two pairs of parallel sides.

Contrapositive: If a quadrilateral does not have two pairs of parallel sides, then it is not rectangle.

5. If I ear a pint of ice cream, then I will gain weight.

Converse: If I gained weight, then I ate a pit of ice cream.

Inverse: If I don’t eat a pint of ice cream, then I won’t gain weight.

Contrapositive: If I haven’t gained weight, then I didn’t eat a pint of ice cream.
