This is my last question, but this time I don't know how to do it... At least I think I don't.
The directions say:
State the converse of each conditional. Is the converse true or false?
1. If x>0, then x^2>0
2. If 6x=18, then x=3
I know that a converse of a conditional is formed by interchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion.
An example is: If p, then q.
(p=the hypothesis, and q=the conclusion)
The Statement is If p, then q
The Converse is If q, then p.
For #1, then do I Just flip the conditional around like this?:
1. If x^2>0, then x>0
2. If x=3, then 6x=18

I forgot to add that I don't know if it's true or false.... I think that #1 is false and #2 is true but it's kinda a guess.
good guess
1. the square of a negative number (<0) is positive (>0)
2. 6 * 3 = 18
1. the square of a negative number (<0) is positive (>0)
2. 6 * 3 = 18
