MATHEMATICAL

STATEMENTS
A meaningful composition of words which can be considered
either true or false but not both.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Illustrate mathematical statements.

• Differentiate the types of mathematical statements.
• Rewrite mathematical statements from one type to another.
• Convert mathematical statement into mathematical equations.
KINDS OF MATHEMATICAL
STATEMENTS
•UNIVERSAL STATEMENT

•CONDITIONAL STATEMENT

•EXISTENTIAL STATEMENT
 UNIVERSAL STATEMENTS
• A mathematical statement that is supposed to be true for all
elements is a set.

• Universal quantifiers are word such “all”, “every”, and

“each”.
 EXAMPLE

• All positive numbers are greater than zero.

• The square of every real number is nonnegative.

CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS

• A conditional statements is an “if-then” statement.

• Conditional statements start with a hypothesis and end with

a conclusion.
 EXAMPLE

• If 378 is divisible by 18, then 378 is divisible by 6.

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

 EXISTENTIAL STATEMENT

• Given a property that may or may not be true, an existential

statement says that there is at least one thing for which the
property is true.

• These statements contain words like "there exists”, "there is at

least one" ,or "for some".
 EXAMPLE

• There is a prime number that is even.

• There exists a natural number such that n x n = 36.

• There exists an integer z, such that z2=25.

UNIVERSAL CONDITIONAL
STATEMENTS

• A universal conditional statement is a statement that is both

universal and conditional.

• Example:
• For all animals a, if a is a dog, then a is a mammal.
 UNIVERSAL EXISTENTIAL
STATEMENTS
• A universal existential statement is a statement that is
universal because its first part says that a certain property
is true for all objects of given type, and it is existential
because its second parts asserts the existence of something.
 EXAMPLE
• For all prime number p, there exist a prime
number e that is even.
 EXISTENTIAL UNIVERSAL
STATEMENTS
• An existential universal statement is a statement that is
existential because its first part asserts that a certain objects
exists and is universal because it second part says that the
objects satisfy a certain property for all things of a certain
kind.
EXAMPLE
•There is a positive integer that is less than
or equal to every positive integer.
Rewriting an Mathematical Statement

For all real numbers x, if x is nonzero then x2 is positive.

a. If a real number is nonzero, then its square _____.

b. For all nonzero real numbers x, ____.

c. If x ____, then ____.

d. All nonzero real numbers have ____.

 VARIABLE

A variable is a quantity that may change within the

context of a mathematical problem or experiment.
VARIABLE
A variable allows you to give temporary name to a value
your are seeking so that you can perform concrete
computations with it.
Example: Try to find the value being describe in the statement
below.

Doubling it and adding 3 Let m is the number being describe in the statement.

gives the same results as

squaring it. Solve for m.

What are
the numberss?
Check.
Convert each mathematical statement into mathematical
equations.

1. The sum of their squares equals the square of their sum.

2. The sum of the squares of two consecutive numbers is

145.
3. The quotient of fifty and five more than a number is ten.
4. Twice a number, decreased by twenty-nine, is seven.
