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 1: Identify the components of the statement The original statement can be broken down into two parts: - Let \( P \): "I am not feeling well." - Let \( Q \): "I will go to the doctor." ### Step 2: Write the original statement in logical form The original statement can be expressed in logical terms as: \[ P \implies Q \] This means "If \( P \) is true, then \( Q \) is also true." ### Step 3: Formulate the contrapositive The contrapositive of a statement \( P \implies Q \) is given by: \[ \neg Q \implies \neg P \] Where \( \neg \) denotes negation (not). This means we need to negate both \( Q \) and \( P \). ### Step 4: Negate the components - The negation of \( Q \) ("I will go to the doctor") is "I will not go to the doctor." - The negation of \( P \) ("I am not feeling well") is "I am feeling well." ### Step 5: Write the contrapositive statement Putting it all together, the contrapositive statement is: "If I will not go to the doctor, then I am feeling well." ### Conclusion Thus, the contrapositive of the statement "If I am not feeling well, then I will go to the doctor" is: **"If I will not go to the doctor, then I am feeling well."**
