### Logic and Mathematical Reasoning

#### Exercise 5

**a) Give the converse, the inverse, and the contrapositive of the following statement:**

   - **Original Statement:**
     "If a function \( f \) is differentiable, then the function \( f \) is continuous."

   - **Converse:**
     "If a function \( f \) is continuous, then the function \( f \) is differentiable."

   - **Inverse:**
     "If a function \( f \) is not differentiable, then the function \( f \) is not continuous."

   - **Contrapositive:**
     "If a function \( f \) is not continuous, then the function \( f \) is not differentiable."

**b) Write each of the two statements in symbolic form and determine whether they are logically equivalent:**

   **Statements:**

   1. "If you paid full price, you didn’t buy it at Crown Books."
   2. "You didn’t buy it at Crown Books or you didn’t pay full price."

   **Symbolic Form:**

   - Let \( P \) represent "You paid full price."
   - Let \( Q \) represent "You bought it at Crown Books."

   - Statement 1: \( P \rightarrow \neg Q \)
   - Statement 2: \( \neg Q \vee \neg P \)

**Analysis of Logical Equivalence:**

- The structure of Statement 1, \( P \rightarrow \neg Q \), translates to "If P, then not Q."
- The structure of Statement 2, \( \neg Q \vee \neg P \), translates to "Either not Q, or not P."

Upon evaluating the logical structures, we identify that:
- Statement 1: \( P \rightarrow \neg Q \) is logically equivalent to \( \neg P \vee \neg Q \), which is precisely the structure of Statement 2.

**Conclusion:** The two given statements are logically equivalent.
