    Tyler Wulf: (The sophisticated problem for today. Sorry.) We have discussed in class the idea the for a conditional statement S of the form If P then Q , there are three associated conditional statements:

    • The contrapositive of S is the statement If not Q then not P .
    • The converse of S is the statement If Q then P .
    • The inverse of S is the statement If not P then not Q .

    We have discussed in class that the contrapositive of S is logically equivalent to S . That is, either they are both true, or they are both false.

    And we have discussed in class that converse of S is not logically equivalent to S . The truth (or untruth) of one of them tells us nothing about the truth (or untruth) of the other.

    But what about the inverse of S ? How is the truth of The inverse of S related to the truth of S and the truth of the contrapositive of S and the truth of the converse of S ? Explain.

    • Background: Theorems 5.14 through 5.21 in book Section 5.3 are part of (but not all of) the following MEGA THEOREM .
      The Six Equivalent Statements Theorem : (Six Equivalent Statements about Convex Quadrilaterals)
      Given any convex quadrilateral,
      the following six statements are equivalent ( TFAE ). That is, they are either all true or all false.
      1. Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. That is, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
      2. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.
      3. One pair of opposite sides is both congruent and parallel.
      4. Each pair of opposite angles is congruent.
      5. Either diagonal creates two congruent triangles.
      6. The diagonals bisect each other.
      Today we will discuss how to prove such a theorem.

    • Amira Hunter: (8.3#41) Find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle with vertices \( A=(-5,-1), B=(3,3), C=(5,-5)\). (Hint: It is a fact proven in MATH 3110 that in any given triangle, the three medians of the triangle intersect in a common point. This point is called the centroid . To find the centroid, one must find the line equations for two of the three median lines, and then use those line equations to determine the point of intersection of those two median lines. The third median line is guaranteed to also pass through this point, so you don't need to find the third median line. See the book page 454, the boxed [Solution of Applied Problem] to see an example of the calculation of the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle.)
    • Brianna McFee: (8.3#44) Find the coordinates of the circumscribing circle of the triangle with vertices \( A=(4,5), B=(8,-3), C=(-4,-3)\). (Hint: It is a fact that any three non-collinear points lie on exactly one common circle. That means that given any triangle, there exists exactly one circle that passes through the three vertices of the triangle. One says that this circle circumscribes the triangle. . Your goal is to find the equation for this circle. The strategy is to
      1. Find the point P that is the center of the circle.
      2. Find the radius of the circle
      3. Use the known center and radius to build the equation of the circle.
      The key is to notice that point P will have the property that \( PA=PB=PC \), because those are the lengths of radial segments. Now consider the equation \( PA=PB \). It tells us that point P is equidistant from points A and B . But then Theorem 4.10, the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem , tells us that point P must lie on the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{AB} \). Similarly, the equation \( PB=PC \) tells us that point P is equidistant from points B and C , and so point P must also lie on the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{BC} \). So to find the coordinates of point P , start by finding the line equations for the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{AB} \) and for the perpendicular bisector of segment \( \overline{BC} \). Then use those line equations to determine the point of intersection of those two perpendicular bisectors. This point will be P . Once you have point P , you should be able to compute the circle's radius and build the equation for the circle.)
