    1) The document defines a statement as a sentence that is either true or false but not both. 2) It provides examples of sentences that are and are not statements and explains why. Sentences must not contain unknowns, be in the form of questions or exclamations, be incomplete, or be instructions to be considered statements. 3) The document discusses how to construct true and false statements using given numbers and mathematical symbols. Examples are provided of constructing statements using addition, greater than, and set membership symbols.

    The key takeaways are that a statement is a sentence that is either true or false, and statements can be used to represent mathematical concepts using numbers and symbols.

    A statement is defined as a sentence that is either true or false but not both.

    Sentences that are not considered statements include questions, exclamations, instructions, and sentences containing unknowns or that are incomplete.

    Learning Outcomes
    1) Determine whether a given sentence is a
    statement.
    2) Determine whether a given statement is
    true or false.
    4.1a) Statements and truth value

    Definition : A statement is a sentence that


    is either true or false but not both.
    Example
    No. Sentence Statement Not Reason
    Statement

    1. Do not litter. √ An instruction

    2. 2 is a prime number. √ A true


    statement
    3. That’s amazing! √ An exclamation

    4. Is 1 a prime √ A question
    numbers?
    5. 3+2=5 √ A true
    statement
    6. 18 is a multiple of 10 √ A false
    statement

    Hot Tips

    A sentence is not a statement when


    • it contains unknowns
    • it is in the form of a questions
    • it is in the form of a exclamations
    • it is in the form of a instructions
    • it is incomplete
    Quick Test

    1. Determine whether each of the following


    sentence is a statement.
    a) 5-7>2
    b) Add 3 to 7.
    c) 2x-8=1
    Quick Test

    1. Determine whether each of the following


    sentence is a statement.
    a) 5-7>2 (Yes)
    b) Add 3 to 7. (No)
    c) 2x-8=1 (No)
    4.1b) Statements using numbers
    and mathematical symbols

    Learning Outcome
    1) Construct the true or false statements
    using given numbers and mathematical
    symbols
    4.1b) Statements using numbers
    and mathematical symbols

    -When given a set of numbers and


    mathematical symbols , we can construct
    true and false statements.
    Example
    1. Construct one true and false statement, each involving
    the following numbers and mathematical symbols.

    a) 6,4,2,+,=
    True statement: 4+2=6
    False statement: 6+2=4
    Continue

    1. Construct one true and false statement, each involving


    the following numbers and mathematical symbols.

    b) 1,2,3,>,X
    True statement: 3X2>1
    False statement: 2>3X1
    Quick Test

    1. Construct one true and false statement, each


    involving the following numbers and
    mathematical symbols.
    a) 1,2,3,+,>
    b) {2,3,4},{ }, 
    Solution

    a) 1,2,3,+,>

    True statement:1+3>2
    False statement:2 + 1>3

    b) {2,3,4},{ }, 
    True statement:{ }  {2,3,4}
    False statement: {2,3,4}  {}
