### Problem Statement:

(c) Consider the set {0, 1, 2}.

- **Task:** Verify the following statements:
  1. **Original statement:** Every element in the set {0, 1, 2} is greater than or equal to half of its square.
  2. **Negation:** Formulate the negation of the original statement.
  3. **Assessment:** Determine which of the statements is true and provide justification.

#### Instructions:

1. **Original Statement:**
   - Analyze each element in the set {0, 1, 2} to verify if it is greater than or equal to half of its square.

2. **Negation:**
   - Construct the negation of the original statement, which means finding an element in the set that is not greater than or equal to half of its square.

3. **Evaluation:**
   - Assess the truth value of the original statement by checking each element in the set.
   - Compare this with the negation to conclude which one is true, providing mathematical reasoning for your answer.

**Hint:** Use the mathematical expression \( x \geq \frac{x^2}{2} \) to test each element in the set {0, 1, 2}.
