The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the quantifier in the given statement and determine its type. The statement provided is: "For every \( x \in \mathbb{N} \), \( x + 3 \) is greater than \( x \)." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Quantifier**: - The phrase "For every" indicates that we are referring to all elements within a certain set. In this case, the set is the natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \). - Therefore, the quantifier in this statement is "for every \( x \)". 2. **Determine the Type of Quantifier**: - There are two main types of quantifiers: - **Universal Quantifier**: This is used to state that a property holds for all elements in a particular set. It is often represented by the phrase "for all" or "for every". - **Existential Quantifier**: This indicates that there exists at least one element in the set for which the property holds. It is represented by phrases like "there exists". - Since the phrase "for every" is used in our statement, it falls under the category of the Universal Quantifier. 3. **Conclusion**: - The quantifier identified is "for every \( x \)". - The type of this quantifier is Universal Quantifier. ### Final Answer: - Quantifier: "for every \( x \)" - Type: Universal Quantifier
