**Title: Logical Statements: Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive**

**Content:**

In this lesson, we will explore how to write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of given logical statements. Let's consider the examples provided.

**Example Statements**:

1. **Statement a**: \( \sim p \rightarrow q \)

2. **Statement b**: If \( x \geq 2 \), then \( x + 3 \geq 5 \).

**Definitions**:

- **Converse**: The converse of a statement \( p \rightarrow q \) is \( q \rightarrow p \).

- **Inverse**: The inverse of a statement \( p \rightarrow q \) is \( \sim p \rightarrow \sim q \).

- **Contrapositive**: The contrapositive of a statement \( p \rightarrow q \) is \( \sim q \rightarrow \sim p \).

**Tasks**:

For each statement:
- Write the converse.
- Write the inverse.
- Write the contrapositive.

By understanding these transformations, students can gain a deeper understanding of logical equivalences and implications within mathematics and everyday reasoning.
