Chapter 3 - The Logic of Quantified Statements - Exercise Set 3.3 - Page 129: 19

Answer

a. Statement: there exists a real number x such that for all real numbers y, x+y=0. There is a real number that when that real number is added to any real number, the sum is zero. b. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}$, $\exists y \in \mathbb{R}$ such that x+y$\neq$0. For every real number, there is another real number such that the sum of the two numbers is nonzero. For every real number x, there is a real number y, such that x+y$\neq$0.
