For the following true conditional statement, write the converse. If the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. If x = 3, then x2 = 9.

Respuesta :

Answer: The converse of the given statement is if  [tex]x^2=9[/tex] ,then x=3.→ which is not true.

We cannot form a biconditional statement for the  given statement because the converse is not true.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement: If x = 3, then [tex]x^2=9[/tex]

The converse statement of conditional statement that "if p then q" is "if q then p".

therefore, the converse of the given statement is if  [tex]x^2=9[/tex] ,then x=3.

But the converse is not true since if  [tex]x^2=9[/tex] then x can be 3 or -3 .

∵  [tex]3^2=9[/tex] and  [tex](-3)^2=9[/tex]

 A biconditional statement is true if and only if both the conditional statement and its converse are true.

Therefore, we cannot form a biconditional statement for the  given statement because the converse is not true.
