If lines lie in two planes, then the lines are coplanar.
No, not always. It depends on if the original biconditional statement is true. For example take the following biconditional statement:x = 3 if and only if x2 = 9.From this biconditional statement we can extract two conditional statements (hence why it is called a bicondional statement):The Conditional Statement: If x = 3 then x2 = 9.This statement is true. However, the second statement we can extract is called the converse.The Converse: If x2=9 then x = 3.This statement is false, because x could also equal -3. Since this is false, it makes the entire original biconditional statement false.All it takes to prove that a statement is false is one counterexample.
Yes
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
true
The conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse is known as a biconditional statement. It states that the original statement and its converse are both true.
A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
It is the biconditional.
If a number is nonzero, then the number is positive.

An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
Yes
The converse of this conditional statement would be: if I am in the south, then I am in Mississippi. It essentially swaps the hypothesis and conclusion of the original conditional statement.
A simple example of a conditional statement is: If a function is differentiable, then it is continuous. An example of a converse is: Original Statement: If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2. Converse Statement: If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even. Keep in mind though, that the converse of a statement is not always true! For example: Original Statement: A triangle is a polygon. Converse Statement: A polygon is a triangle. (Clearly this last statement is not true, for example a square is a polygon, but it is certainly not a triangle!)
The inverse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The converse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The contrapositive of a conditional statement switches and negates the hypothesis and conclusion.
How can the following definition be written correctly as a biconditional statement? An odd integer is an integer that is not divisible by two. (A+ answer) An integer is odd if and only if it is not divisible by two
