Conditional Statements

“IF-THEN”

1
If- Then Statements
• If- Then Statements are commonly used in
everyday life.
Advertisement might say:
“If you buy our product, then you will be
happy".
Notice that “If-Then” statements have two
parts, a hypothesis(the part following “if”)
and a conclusion(the part following “Then”)
What is Conditional Statement?
• Conditional Statements = “If-Then”
statements.

• The IF-statement is the hypothesis and the


THEN-statement is the conclusion .

Identify Hypothesis and
Conclusion.
If a polygon has 6 sides, then it is a hexagon.

Hypothesis: A polygon has 6 sides


Conclusion: It is a hexagon.

Identify Hypothesis and
Conclusion
• John will advance to the next level of play
if he completes the maze in his computer
game.
Hypothesis: John completes the maze in his
computer game
Conclusion: He will advance to the next level
of play

Write a Statement in If-Then
Form
A five-sided polygon is a pentagon

Hypothesis: A polygon has five sides


Conclusion: It is a pentagon

If a polygon has five sides, then it is a pentagon

True or False?
• “IF-THEN“ statements can be TRUE or
FALSE.
Its false when the hypothesis is true and the
conclusion is false.
EX: If you live in Idaho, you live in Boise

False
EX: Not all people who live in Idaho live in
Boise
True or False?
EX: If two angles are congruent, then they
are vertical

Make sure to show an example to prove false.

EX: False, We can have two congruent angles


that are not vertical

Abbreviation
• Form of statement:

If hypothesis then conclusion


We say : p  q, where

p is called hypothesis, q is called conclusion

Some More…
• New Statements can be formed from the
original statement.
• Original “If-Then”: p  q
• Converse: q p
• Inverse: ~ p  ~ q , where “~” means NOT
• Countrapositive: ~ q  ~ p
Examples:
• Rewrite the following statements in “If-Then” form.
Than write a converse, inverse and
contrapositive.
Ex: “All elephants are mammals”
If-Then form: If an animal is an elephant, then it
is a mammal
Converse: If an animal is a mammal, then it is an
elephant
Inverse: If an animal is not an elephant, then it
is not a mammal
Countrapositive: If an animal is not a mammal,
then it is not an elephant
