Consider the conditional statement, "If x^2=25, then x=-5."?

Question

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE STATEMENTS EXCEPT ______.

[A] (-5)^2 = 25
[B] the converse is false
[C] the converse is true
[D] the statement is false

Answer 1

Obviously, it's B or C, since only one of them can be true. :)

Well, the converse is "If x = -5, then x^2 = -25". That's true.

So it's true that the converse is true and false that the converse is false.

B.
