Quantifiers

Example: Consider the statement:

$\forall x \in \mathbb{N}, x + 0 = x$.

This means "for all natural numbers $x$, adding $0$ to $x$ results in the same object $x$." This is a true statement in standard arithmetic.

The existential quantifier states that there is at least one element in the set for which a property holds. Its usual format is:

$\exists x \in S, p(x)$ (

$\exists x \in S, p(x)$

)

which means "for at least one $x$ in the set $S$, the property $p(x)$ is true."
