The law of contrapositive states that a conditional statement of the form "If P, then Q" (P → Q) is logically equivalent to its contrapositive, "If not Q, then not P" (¬Q → ¬P). This means that if the original statement is true, the contrapositive must also be true, and vice versa. This principle is widely used in mathematical proofs and logical reasoning to demonstrate the validity of arguments.

What does the word contrapositive mean in math?
"contrapositive" refers to negating the terms of a statement and reversing the direction of inference. It is used in proofs. An example makes it easier to understand: "if A is an integer, then it is a rational number". The contrapositive would be "if A is not a rational number, then it cannot be an integer". The general form, then, given "if A, then B", is "if not B, then not A". Proving the contrapositive generally proves the original statement as well.
