* U1-C1-L1 Logic: Conditional Statements Conditional Statements * Conditional Statement Definition: A conditional statement is a statement that can be written in if-then form. “If _____________, then ______________.” Example: If your feet smell and your nose runs, then youre built upside down. Continued…… Conditional Statements * Conditional Statement - continued Conditional Statements have two parts: The hypothesis is the part of a conditional statement that follows “if” (when written in if-then form.) The conclusion is the part of an if-then statement that follows “then” (when written in if-then form.) The hypothesis is the given information, or the condition. The conclusion is the result of the given information. Conditional Statements * Conditional statements can be written in “if-then” form to emphasize which part is the hypothesis and which is the conclusion. Writing Conditional Statements Hint: Turn the subject into the hypothesis. Example 1: Vertical angles are congruent. can be written as... If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. Conditional Statement: Example 2: Seals swim. can be written as... Conditional Statement: If an animal is a seal, then it swims. Conditional Statements * If …Then vs. Implies Two angles are vertical implies they are congruent. Another way of writing an if-then statement is using the word implies. If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. Conditional Statements * Symbolic Logic Symbols can be used to modify or connect statements. Symbols for Hypothesis and Conclusion: Hypothesis is represented by “p”. Conclusion is represented by “q”. if p, then q or p implies q Continued….. Conditional Statements * Symbolic Logic - continued if p, then q or p implies q is used to represent p ? q Example: p: a number is prime q: a number has exactly two divisors If a number is prime, then it has exactly two divisors. p?q: Continued….. Conditional Statements * is used to represent the word “not” ~ S
