  1. LESSON THREE:IF I HATE THIS MOVIE…

  2. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Mathematical statements in the if-then form are called conditional statements.

  3. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • The if part is called the hypothesis. • The then part is called the conclusion. =

  4. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • So, label the statement… • If I hate this movie, then I will drive to Hollywood and punch out the director. • The hypothesis is I hate this movie. • The conclusion is I will drive to Hollywood and punch out the director.

  5. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • The challenge comes in the rearrangements of conditionals. • A converse just the reverse of an original statement. • If a movie is on its fifth sequel, then it will be bad. BECOMES If a movie is bad, then it is on its fifth sequel.

  6. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • An inverse is formed of the negations of the hypothesis and conclusion. • If Keanu Reaves is acting, then he is playing a confused idiot. BECOMES If Keanu Reaves isn’t acting, then he isn’t playing a confused idiot.

  7. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Finally, the contrapositiveof a conditional is the interchanged negation of the original. • If Adam Sandler stars in a movie, then the movie will be loud and obnoxious. BECOMES If a movie isn’t loud and obnoxious, then Adam Sandler doesn’t star in the movie.

  8. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Conditionals will be very important when we begin working with proofs. • Biconditionalsuse the phrase “if and only if”. • Let’s use the IFF notation to find a definition for “midpoint”.

  9. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Certain things in Geometry have undefined explanations.

  10. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Examples include… • Points: Have NO size. • Lines: Have NO thickness. • A new term with an undefined explanation is a plane. • These also have no thickness, but they do have two-dimensions.

  11. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS • Points that lie on the same plane are called coplanar.

  12. POSTULATES WORTH KNOWING • Straight-Line Postulate – Two points are contained on one and only one line. (Two points determine a line). B A

  13. POSTULATES WORTH KNOWING • Plane Postulate – Three noncollinear points are contained in one and only one plane. (Three noncollinear points determine a plane.)

  14. POSTULATES WORTH KNOWING • Flat-Plane Postulate – If two points are in a plane, then the line containing the points is in the same plane.

  15. POSTULATES WORTH KNOWING • Plane-Intersection Postulate – If two planes intersect, then their intersections is a line.
