The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the quantifier in the given statement and then write its negation. **Step 1: Identify the quantifier.** The statement given is: "For every real number x, x is less than x + 1." In this statement, the quantifier is "for every." This indicates that the statement applies to all real numbers x. **Step 2: Write the negation of the statement.** The negation of a statement that uses a universal quantifier (like "for every") can be expressed by changing it to an existential quantifier (like "there exists"). The original statement can be rewritten as: - "For every real number x, x < x + 1." To negate this, we say: - "It is not true that for every real number x, x < x + 1." This can be expressed as: - "There exists a real number x such that x is not less than x + 1." In mathematical notation, the negation can be written as: - "There exists a real number x such that x ≥ x + 1." **Final Answer:** - Quantifier: For every - Negation: There exists a real number x such that x ≥ x + 1. ---
