If-then
Statements
Conditional Statement
• A logical type of statement that has two parts: a
hypothesis and a conclusion. Conditional can be
written in IF-THEN form.
• A conditional statement is a compound statement of
the form “If p then q“ where p and q are statements.
• The first statement, p, is called the hypothesis and
usually begins with if, while the second statement,
q, which usually begins with then is called the
conclusion.
• If HYPOTHESIS, then CONCLUSION.
• If _____________, then ______________.
Hypothesis (p) Conclusion (q)
Hypothesis- It states the given facts that are
assumed to be true.
Conclusion- What need to be proven or established.
Implication- is a statement formed by hypothesis and
conclusion.
“If p, then q.” “p q”
Let us connect the given input and output
using the if-then form.
Input: I studied for my math test.
Output: I got a good grade.
So, using the if- then statement, the input is the hypothesis of the
statement and the output is the conclusion of the statement.
Answer: If I studied for my math test, then I got a good grade.
Let us connect the given input and output
using the if-then form.
Input: It is raining.
Output: We need to use our umbrella.
So, using the if- then statement, the input is the hypothesis of the
statement and the output is the conclusion of the statement.
Answer: If it is raining, then we need to use our umbrella.
Example #1
If a number is greater than zero, then the number is
positive.
Hypothesis: The number is greater than zero.
Conclusion: The number is positive.
Example #2
If it’s a quadrilateral, then it has four sides.
Hypothesis: It’s a quadrilateral.
Conclusion: It has four sides.
Example #3
If 3(n+1) = 6, then n= 1.
Hypothesis: 3(n+1) = 6
Conclusion: n= 1
Example #4
Getting enough sleep is good for your health.
Hypothesis: Getting enough sleep
Conclusion: Good for your health.
Example #5
An integer that ends in 1,3,5,7 and 9 is an odd
integer.
Hypothesis: An integer that ends in 1,3,5,7 and 9
Conclusion: It is an odd integer
Example #6
All prime number are numbers with no other factor
aside from 1 and itself.
Hypothesis: Numbers with no other factor aside
from 1 and itself
Conclusion: It is a prime number
Example #7
You have a fever if your body temperature is above
37.6 ℃
Hypothesis: Your body temperature is above 37.6 ℃
Conclusion: You have a fever.
Transforming a
Statement
into an
Equivalent If-
then Statement
You learned how to identify the hypothesis and
conclusion of a given conditional statement. But
not all conditional statements are written in if-then
form where the hypothesis-conclusion can be
easily identified. In some conditional statements,
conclusions are written before the hypothesis.
Determining
the Inverse,
Converse
and
Contrapositiv
e
of an If-then
Every conditional statement
has three (3) related
statements and these are
converse, inverse and
contrapositive conditional.
Converse
To write the converse of a conditional
statement, simply interchange the
hypothesis and the conclusion. That is, the
then part becomes the if part and the if part
becomes the then part.
Inverse
To write the inverse of a conditional
statement, simply negate both the
hypothesis and conclusion.
Contrapositive
To form the contrapositive of a conditional
statement, first, get its inverse. Then,
interchange its hypothesis and conclusion.
