Forms of Conditional Propositions

1. Conditional propositions use "if...then" statements to connect two simple propositions. They show a logical implication between the propositions. 2. There are different forms of conditional propositions: inverse, converse, and contrapositive. These change the order and/or negation of the propositions in the original statement. 3. Examples are provided to illustrate how to write the different forms of conditional propositions by changing the order and/or negation. The truth values are also evaluated for examples.

Forms of Conditional
Proposition

Learning Activity Plan 12


At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

 understand the different forms of conditional


proposition;
 illustrate different forms of conditional
proposition.
Magic Words
Sometimes a word is just a word. But other times, words can be magic.
IF you move letters around, THEN you will have new words.

See if you can rearrange the underlined word/s below to match the clues.
Change sore to a thorny flower. rose
Change add to a word for father. dad
Change stone to little messages. notes

Change panel to a flying machine. plane


Change trace to an old and dilapidated vehicle crate
Change one word to give special new door
opportunities.
REMEMBER!

Conditional (Implication)
 Two simple propositions that are connected using
the words if… then.
 Logical implication, symbolized by “→" is another
relation between two propositions.
 It makes use of the "If-then" statement. In order for
the proposition “P → Q" to be false, P must be true
and Q must be false.
.
Creating Conditional Statements
 Conditional statements begin with "If" to introduce the
hypothesis.
 The hypothesis is the part that sets up the condition leading
to a conclusion.
 The conclusion begins with "then,":

W: The weather is nice.


V : I will play outside.

If the weather is nice, then I will play outside.


hypothesis conclusion
Creating Conditional Statements
W: The sun is made of gas.
V : 3 is a prime number.
W V

If the sun is made of gas, then 3 is a prime number.


hypothesis conclusion

r: 8 is an odd number.
s : 9 is composite.
s r
If 9 is composite, then 8 is an odd number.
hypothesis conclusion
Translate the following statements into a
conditional statements.

R: I will get a job.


A: Today is Monday.
S: I will earn money.
B: Tomorrow is Tuesday.

P: A dolphin can swim. W: The integer 2 is even.


Q: A dolphin is a mammal. V : The integer 2 is a prime

L: You’re out of money.


M: You’re out of food.
Different Forms of Conditional
Propositions
1. Inverse Proposition
When both parts of an “If-then” proposition is negated, a
new statement called inverse proposition is produced.
This is symbolized as follows:
2. Converse Proposition
When an “If-then” proposition is reversed, a new
statement called converse proposition is
produced. This is symbolized as follows:
 

3. Contrapositive Proposition
When you reverse the order and negate the parts of
an “If-then” proposition, a new statement called
contrapositive proposition is produced. This is
symbolized as follows:

Inverse ˜p ˜q
Converse q p
Contrapositive
˜q ˜ p

P: It rains.
Example:
Q: They cancel school.

Inverse If it didn’t rains, then they will not cancel school.


Converse If they cancel school, then it rains.
Contrapositive If they didn’t cancel school, then it didn’t rain.

Contrapositive ˜q ˜p

P: The triangle is isosceles.


Example:
Q: The base angles are congruent.

Inverse If the triangle is not isosceles, then the base


angles are not congruent.
Converse If the base angles are congruent, then the
triangle is isosceles.
Contrapositive If the base angles are not congruent, then
the triangle is not isosceles.
Example: P: You are in Davao City.
Q: You are in Mindanao.

If you are not in Davao City, then you are not in


Inverse
Mindanao.

Converse If you are in Mindanao, then you are in Davao


City.

Contrapositive If you are not in Mindanao, then you are not


in Davao City.
Example: P: I eat a pint of ice cream.
Q: I will gain weight.

If will not eat a pint of ice cream, then I will not


Inverse
gain weight.

Converse If I will gain weight, then I will eat a pint of ice


cream.

Contrapositive If I will not gain weight, then I will not eat a


pint of ice cream.
Example:

If a bird is an owl, then it is not a dove.

Inverse If a bird is not an owl, then it is a dove.

Converse If it is not a dove, then a bird is an owl.

Contrapositive If it is a dove, then a bird is not an owl.


Evaluating Forms of Conditional
Proposition

Let A: There are two seasons in the Philippines.


Let B: There is no winter season in the Philippines.
 
 
1. Evaluate if the inverse proposition of A → B is true.
Answer:
~A → ~B:
If there are not just two seasons in the Philippines, then
there is a winter season here.
 
The truth value of the proposition is true.
 
Let A: There are two seasons in the Philippines.
Let B: There is no winter season in the Philippines.

2. Evaluate if the converse proposition of A → B is true.


Answer:
B→A:
If there is no winter season in the Philippines, then there are two
seasons in the Philippines.
 
The truth value of the proposition is true.
 
3. Evaluate if the contrapositive proposition of A → B is true.
Answer:
~B → ~A :
If there is winter season in the Philippines, then there are not
just two seasons in the Philippines.
 
The truth value of the proposition is true.
Your Turn!

Write your own conditional statement 


(make it simple).

Write the inverse, converse and contrapositive


propositions.
