The correct Answer is:
To find the contrapositive of the statement "If I am not feeling well, then I will go to the doctor," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Statements**: - Let \( P \) be the statement "I am not feeling well." - Let \( Q \) be the statement "I will go to the doctor." 2. **Write the Original Statement**: - The original statement can be expressed in logical form as \( P \implies Q \) (If \( P \), then \( Q \)). 3. **Find the Negations**: - The negation of \( P \) (not feeling well) is \( \neg P \): "I am feeling well." - The negation of \( Q \) (going to the doctor) is \( \neg Q \): "I will not go to the doctor." 4. **Formulate the Contrapositive**: - The contrapositive of the statement \( P \implies Q \) is \( \neg Q \implies \neg P \). - This translates to: "If I will not go to the doctor, then I am feeling well." 5. **Final Statement**: - Therefore, the contrapositive of the original statement is: "If I will not go to the doctor, then I am feeling well."
