Both prepositions (p and q) must be true/have T to give true.

8
New cards

True every time except when the first preposition is true and the second preposition is false.

False only when the first preposition is true and the second preposition is false, otherwise it is true every time.

The converse is when the prepositions switch places: the preposition to the left of the symbol moves to the right and the preposition that was on the right of the sign moves to the left.

16

What does inverse mean?

The inverse means that the prepositions change signs: prepositions without a negation sign, get a negation sign (~) and prepositions with a negation sign (~), remove the negation sign.

17

What does the contrapositive mean?

The contrapositive mean that both the converse (prepositions swap/trade places) and the inverse (prepositions change to the oppositie sign) take place.
