Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The given statement is " If my cellphone will not charge, I will replace the battery "

The hypothesis is

p: If my cell phone will not charge

The conclusion is

q: I will replace the battery

To write the converse, we switch the hypothesis and the conclusion:
q\rightarrow p

If I replace my battery, my cellphone will not charge.

To write the inverse, we negate the hypothesis and the conclusion:
\\eg p\rightarrow \\eg q

" If my cellphone will charge, I will not replace the battery "

The contrapositive is the negation of the the hypothesis and the and the conclusion after we switch them:
\\eg q\rightarrow \\eg p

If I will not replace my battery, my cellphone will charge.
