Conditional Statement:. . If x = 2, then x2 = 4. . . . State the converse of the conditional statement and determine whether it is true or false.
converse : (if q then p)....if x^2 = 4. then x = 2...it is true
Answer:
False.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that conditional statement
''If x=2, then \(x^2=4\)
We have to find the converse of given statement and determine whether it is true or false.
Statement :If p, then q
Converse statement :If q, then p.
By apply this rule
If \(x^2=4\), then x=2
If \(x^2=4\)
Then \(x=\pm 2\)
Value of x can be positive or negative.
Hence, the statement is false.
