Converse: If x³ = 8, then x = 2

Inverse: If x ≠ 2, then x³ ≠ 8

Contrapositive: If x³ ≠ 8, then x ≠ 2

Given the statement "if p, then q", then we have the converse, inverse, contrapositive as:

• Converse: If q, then p (interchange)

• Inverse: If not p, then not q (negation)

• Contrapositive: If not q, then not p (interchange and negation)

In this case, p is "x = 2" and q is "x³ = 8". Thus, the converse, inverse and contrapositive statements are:

• Converse: If x³ = 8, then x = 2 (interchange)

• Inverse: If x ≠ 2, then x³ ≠ 8 (negation)

• Contrapositive: If x³ ≠ 8, then x ≠ 2 (interchange and negation)

Note: the symbol ≠ means not equal to
