does ceiling function of -x= floor function of -x for all real x? How?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

lets try the point \(x=2.5,\qquad\small{-x=-2.5}\) ceiling function of \(-x\) \[\lceil -x\rceil=\lceil -2.5\rceil=-2\]whereas floor function of \(-x\) \[\lfloor -x\rfloor=\lfloor -2.5\rfloor=-3\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so we can see that there exists at least one point in the real numbers for which \[\lceil-x\rceil ≠ \lfloor-x\rfloor\]
