Different ways of Writing Propositions There are different ways of writing Propositions, like : A shape is a square. : It is a rectangle. 1 If , then If a shape is a square, then it is a rectangle. implies A shape being a square implies that it is a rectangle. only if A shape is a square only if it is a rectangle. is sufficient for Being a square is sufficient for being a rectangle. if A shape is a rectangle if it is a square. is necessary for Being a rectangle is necessary for being a square. when A shape is a rectangle when it is a square.Every square is a rectangle. All seven express . Another example is For positive integers: : A number is a perfect square. : It has an odd number of factors. 1 If , then If a number is a perfect square, then it has an odd number of factors. implies A number being a perfect square implies that it has an odd number of factors. only if A number is a perfect square only if it has an odd number of factors. is sufficient for Being a perfect square is sufficient for having an odd number of factors. 5 q if A number has an odd number of factors if it is a perfect square. is necessary for Having an odd number of factors is necessary for being a perfect square. when A number has an odd number of factors when it is a perfect square.Example: Factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 1 2 4 8 16 5 factors → an odd number All seven express .
