What Is A Mathematical Statement ?

* A mathematical statement is a statement that can be judged to be true or false. 

* A statement which has a variable.

TIPS : 
- With a negation, "not" it always has the opposite truth value.

- With "and" both statements that are said must be true for the statement to be true.

- A conditional statement is the most frequent used statement in the construction of an argument or in the study of MATH !  

-An inverse is formed by negating the hypothesis and conclusion.


There are four conditionals that can be formed :

- THE CONDITIONAL : ex . If it is snowing then it is cloudy .
- THE INVERSE : ex . If it is not snowing then it is not cloudy .
- THE CONVERSE : ex . If it is cloudy then it is snowing .
- THE CONTRA POSITIVE : ex . If it is not cloudy then it is not snowing.

NOW YOU FIGURE  IT OUT !
