Write converse, inverse and contrapositive of :If x < y then x2 < y2 (x, y ∈ R)

Answer»

Let p : x < y,

q : x < y . 

Then,

The symbolic form of the given statement is p → q. 

Converse : q → p is the converse of p → q. 

i.e. If x2 < y2, then x < y. 

Inverse : ~p → ~q is the inverse of p → q. 

i.e. If x ≯ y, then x2≯ y2

OR 

If x ≮ y, then x2≮ y2

Contrapositive : ~q → p is the contrapositive of p → q 

i.e. If x2 ≯ y2, then x ≯ y. 

OR 

If x ≮ y , then x ≮ y.
