How is there is exactly one such object expressed?

  • A.There exists x with the property, and any y with it equals x
  • B.There exists x with the property and no other object exists
  • C.For every x with the property, x is unique in the domain
  • D.There exists exactly one x, using a special quantifier symbol

Answer: A

Uniqueness requires both existence and the statement that anything with the property is identical to the witness, which needs equality. The shorthand notation for unique existence abbreviates exactly this. The second option denies the existence of anything else at all, and the third is not well formed. Constructing a compound claim from existence plus a uniqueness clause is a pattern that recurs whenever counting is required.
