Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this image, the table corresponds to categorizing numbers into different sets of numbers based on their properties. These sets include:
- N (Natural numbers),
- Z (Integers),
- Q (Rational numbers),
- I (Irrational numbers),
- R (Real numbers).
Here is how each number should be classified in the table:
-
9.5
- Not in N (Natural numbers) because it's not a whole number.
- Not in Z (Integers) because it's not an integer.
- In Q (Rational numbers) because it can be written as a fraction (19/2).
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers) because it's a real number.
-
-6
- Not in N (Natural numbers) because natural numbers are non-negative.
- In Z (Integers) because it's an integer.
- In Q (Rational numbers) because it can be written as -6/1.
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers).
-
45
- In N (Natural numbers) because it is a positive whole number.
- In Z (Integers).
- In Q (Rational numbers).
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers).
-
0.33333... (repeating)
- Not in N (Natural numbers).
- Not in Z (Integers).
- In Q (Rational numbers) because it's a repeating decimal, which is a fraction (1/3).
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers).
-
√-16
- Not in N, Z, Q, or R because this is a complex number (imaginary part).
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- This number doesn’t belong in any of the real sets shown because it’s a complex number.
-
0.1223334444...
- Not in N, Z, because it's not a whole number.
- It seems to be a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal, which makes it irrational.
- In I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers).
-
√25
- Equals 5, which is a natural number.
- In N, Z, Q, and R (since 5 is a natural, integer, rational, and real number).
- Not in I.
-
-3/2
- Not in N (Natural numbers).
- Not in Z (Integers) because it's a fraction.
- In Q (Rational numbers).
- Not in I (Irrational numbers).
- In R (Real numbers).
Would you like further clarification on any of these classifications or more details?
Here are five follow-up questions for you:
- What are the differences between rational and irrational numbers?
- Can complex numbers be part of the real number system?
- Why is the square root of a negative number not part of the real numbers?
- How do we determine whether a decimal is rational or irrational?
- What properties distinguish natural numbers from integers?
Tip: Always remember that every natural number is an integer, and every integer is a rational number, but the reverse is not always true.
