Answer:

The majority of theorems in mathematics take the form of compound statements. These statements are called conditional and biconditional statements.

The conditional statement from the sentence above is:

If x is an engineer then x is resourceful.

Put in a mathematical form we can refer to the Implication as:

If Xe then R. Or

Xe implies R. Or

Xe if R.

The Hypothesis is stated as

Xe ⇒ R

The statement Xe in an implication Xe ⇒ R is called its hypothesis, premise, or antecedent, and R the conclusion or consequence.

Implications are critical in expressing a logical argument. If an implication is found to be true, then the consequences must be as well when the hypothesis satisfied. This is why is also referred to as a conditional statement.
