Answer:

"
e^x is irrational for every nonzero integer x"

Explanation:

The original statement is

"
e^x is rational for some nonzero integer x."

The negation is technically:

"It is NOT true that
e^x is rational for some nonzero integer x."

So it's expressing that it's false that
e^x can be rational for some nonzero integer x.

This just means that
e^x is always irrational when x is a nonzero integer.

Which can be worded as

"
e^x is irrational for every nonzero integer x"
