Suppose I have to prove that
- $A \implies B$ (if a monotone sequence is bounded, then it converges);
- $\neg A \implies\neg B$ (if a monotone sequence is unbounded, then it diverges).
Assume that I have in hand the result
- $A \iff B$ (a monotone sequence is bounded iff it converges).
Well, item $1$ directly comes from $3$. But is there any way to use $3$ to deduce $2$. It seens naively obvious to me, but I cannot formally show it, using logic.
Can you help me to work on some argument?
Thanks in advance.
Well, $A\Longleftrightarrow B$ is equivalent to $A\Longrightarrow B\wedge B\Longrightarrow A$.
Moreover, $B\Longrightarrow A$ is equivalent to the contraposition $\neg A\Longrightarrow \neg B$.
Both assertions together should answer your question.
