Conjuctions & Disjunctions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What happens if "and" is in the sufficient condition? | You have to have both [A and B] to guarantee the necessary condition will happen |
What is a conjunction? | Fancy way of saying "and" |
What is a disjunction? | Fancy way of saying "or" |
"OR" | A or B = At least 1 or both In sufficient condition: either ____ or _____ alone is good enough to meet necessary condition Always includes possibility of both on LSAT |
Neither Nor | It’s not [that] and it’s not [that] |
Not Both | Not "A" or not "B" I’m cool with anything EXCEPT both of them Could be 0 and could be 1, but not both The only thing I cant have is both [HAVE TO AVOID] |
But Not Both | Must be 1 or the other Saying 2 statements in 1 Making “or” statement and “not both” statement |
What steps do you take when negating statements that have “and” or “or”? | Negate all conditions Switch the operator [AND to OR; OR to AND] |
What do you do when forming the contrapositive of a conjunctive or disjunctive conditional statement? | Everything switches sides of arrow then you negate the terms Go left to right and change everything |
How do you negate[falsify] an entire a conditional statement? | Sometimes you must show that conditional statement is false I have the sufficient condition, but I didn’t get what I wanted |
Why write faslification as an absolute statement? | Og conditional statement is hypothetical -To prove it wrong you have to show something absolutely |
Should you use a + sign or -> sign when making a false statement? | + sign [false statement is NOT conditional] |
