Is the negation of a true conditional a true statement?
No, the negation of a true conditional statement is false. When you negate a true conditional statement,
the result is false.

What about the negation of a false conditional?

The negation of a false conditional statement is true. If the original statement is false, its negation is true.

What conclusion can you make out of the negation of a false statement?
The negation of a true statement is indeed false. When you negate a true statement, the result is false.

Go over the answers to the examples and the exercises in determining whether a given
conditional, and its converse, inverse, and contrapositive are true or false. Is there any
pattern in the truth value of any two of the statements? For example, if the conditional is
true, is the converse also true?
If the conditional statement is true, its converse may or may not be true.

If the conditional statement is false, its converse must also be false.

If the conditional statement is true, its inverse may or may not be true.

If the conditional statement is false, its inverse may or may not be true.

If the conditional statement is true, its contrapositive is always true.

If the conditional statement is false, its contrapositive is always false.

Is it possible to give a counterexample for a definition? Why or why not?

No, it is not possible to give a counterexample for a definition. A definition is a statement that explains
the meaning of a term or concept. Counterexamples are used to refute or disprove statements, but they
cannot be applied to definitions because definitions are not claims that can be proven or disproven.

Is it possible to give a counterexample for a property? Why or why not?

Yes, it is possible to give a counterexample for a property. A property is a characteristic or attribute that an
object or concept possesses. It describes some feature or quality of the object or concept.
