Chapter 3: Problem 3

Write the negation of each conditional statement. If it is purple, then it is not a carrot.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The negation of the conditional statement 'If it is purple, then it is not a carrot' is 'It is purple and it is a carrot'.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Components of the Conditional Statement

In the conditional statement 鈥業f it is purple, then it is not a carrot鈥�, 'it is purple' is the condition 'P', and 'it is not a carrot' is the result 'Q'.
02

Construct Negation of Conditional Statement

The negation of a conditional statement 'If P, then Q' is 'P and not Q'. Applying this to our statement, 'P' is 'it is purple' and 'not Q' is 'it is a carrot'. Hence, the negation is 'It is purple and it is a carrot'.
