Question

What is the converse of the following conditional statement? If x = _10, then x2 = 100

Answer 1

Answer: If x^2[/tex]= 100 then x = 10

Explanation:

The converse statement of the conditional statement "if p then q" is given by "if q then p", where p is the hypothesis and q is the conclusion.

The given conditional statement is " If x = 10, then
`x^2`= 100"

Here hypothesis p = x = 10 and conclusion=q=x^2[/tex]= 100

then the converse of the given conditional statement will be "If x^2[/tex]= 100 then x = 10"

Answer 2

We simply switch the hypothesis and conclusion:
If x₂ = 100, then x = -10
