Consider the following proposition: "For any predicates P(x) and Q(x) over a domain D, the negation of the statement 3x € D, P(x) ^ Q(x)" is the statement "vx D, P(x) → ¬Q(x)". We can use this truth to write the negation of the following statement: "There exist integers a and d such that a and d are negative and a/d = 1 + d/a". Which one of the alternatives provides the negation of this statement? a. There exist integers a and d such that a and d are positive and a/d - 1 + d/a. O b. For all integers a and d, if a and d are positive then a/d # 1 + d/a. c. For all integers a and d, if a and d are negative then a/d # 1 + d/a. For all intonare a and d'a and d are positive and sld +11 dia a. For all integers a and a, a and a are positive and a/a 7 1 + a/a.

Question
Consider the following proposition:
"For any predicates P(x) and Q(x) over a domain D, the negation of the statement 3x € D, P(x) ^ Q(x)"
is the statement "vxD, P(x) → ¬Q(x)".
We can use this truth to write the negation of the following statement:
"There exist integers a and d such that a and d are negative and a/d = 1 + d/a".
Which one of the alternatives provides the negation of this statement?
a. There exist integers a and d such that a and d are positive and a/d - 1+d/a.
b. For all integers a and d, if a and d are positive then a/d # 1 + d/a.
c. For all integers a and d, if a and d are negative then a/d # 1 + d/a.
For all intonarea and da and d are nositive and old +11 dia
a. For all integers a and a, a and a are positive and a/a 7 1 + a/a.
