Question

Conditional Statement:. . If x = 2, then x2 = 4. . . . State the converse of the conditional statement and determine whether it is true or false.

Answer 1

converse : (if q then p)....if x^2 = 4. then x = 2...it is true

Answer 2

False.

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.
