biconditional statement definition

If two simple statements p and q are connected by the connective 'if and only if', then the resulting compound statement is called the biconditional statement. Symbolically it is represented by p q. Example: An integer is even if and only if it is divisibl..

Conditional and Biconditional Statements - It is already mentioned in earlier classes that compound statements of different propositions can be obtained by conjunction, disjunction and negation of propositions. We just recall these three basic logical connectivities an..

It is already mentioned in earlier classes that compound statements of different propositions can be obtained by conjunction, disjunction and negation of propositions. We just recall these three basic logical connectivities and their truth table and subsequently we shall learn about condi..

Logical Equivalence - Two propositions (simple or compound) are said to be logically equivalent if they have identical truth values. If p is logically equivalent to q, we denote p q. We have already constructed the truth table of (~p) q in earlier class. Recall the same truth table. Truth Table for..

Some sentences depend on a variable for its truth value (i.e., true or false). e.g., "2+4+6+2n=2n" is true for n=1 but false for n=2, n=3 etc. As the above sentence is definitely true or definitely false for a particular positive integral value of n, the senten..

- A sentence which is either true or false is called a statement..

For all real numbers x and y Let x and y be any two real numbers and let P(x)and Q(y) be the corresponding trigonometric points on the unit circle. In the above figures we have taken x and y so that The coordinates of P(x) are (cosx, sin x) and that of Q(y) are (cos y, sin y) by the d..
