Question

If a number is odd, then it has a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.

Which is the hypothesis of the conditional?

Answer 1

The hypothesis of the conditional is "A number is odd".

Explanation:

The statement can be represented by the following proposition:

`P \implies Q` (Eq. 1)

Where:

`P` is the hypothesis of the proposition.

`Q` is the conclusion of the proposition.

`\implies` - Binary connector, which means "If...., then...."

In this case, we present what each propostion represents:

P = A number is odd.

Q = It has a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.

In consequence, the hypothesis of the conditional is "A number is odd".
