Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to classify each element of the given set into one or more of the following categories:

  1. Natural Numbers: Positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...)
  2. Integers: All whole numbers, including negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...)
  3. Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (like 12\frac{1}{2}, -0.5, etc.)
  4. Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (like 2\sqrt{2}, π\pi, etc.)
  5. Real Numbers: All numbers on the number line, including both rational and irrational numbers.
  6. Undefined: Numbers or expressions that do not have a valid mathematical definition (like division by zero).

Elements in the Set and their Classifications:

Given set:
{7,0.4,3,4.6,7,16,13,10,3,165,202}\left\{ -\sqrt{7}, -0.4, 3, 4.6, 7, \sqrt{16}, -\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{0}, \sqrt{3}, \frac{16}{5}, \frac{20}{2} \right\}

Let's analyze each element:

  1. 7-\sqrt{7}:

    • This is an irrational number (square root of a non-perfect square).
    • It is also a real number.
  2. 0.4-0.4:

    • This is a rational number (can be expressed as 25-\frac{2}{5}).
    • It is also a real number.
  3. 3:

    • This is a natural number.
    • It is also an integer, a rational number (expressed as 31\frac{3}{1}), and a real number.
  4. 4.6:

    • This is a rational number (can be expressed as 4610\frac{46}{10}).
    • It is also a real number.
  5. 7:

    • This is a natural number.
    • It is also an integer, a rational number (expressed as 71\frac{7}{1}), and a real number.
  6. 16\sqrt{16}:

    • This is a natural number (16=4\sqrt{16} = 4).
    • It is also an integer, a rational number, and a real number.
  7. 13-\frac{1}{3}:

    • This is a rational number.
    • It is also a real number.
  8. 10\frac{1}{0}:

    • This is undefined (division by zero is not a valid mathematical operation).
  9. 3\sqrt{3}:

    • This is an irrational number (square root of a non-perfect square).
    • It is also a real number.
  10. 165\frac{16}{5}:

    • This is a rational number.
    • It is also a real number.
  11. 202\frac{20}{2}:

    • This simplifies to 1010, which is a natural number.
    • It is also an integer, a rational number, and a real number.

Summary of Classification:

  • Natural Numbers: 3,7,16(=4),202(=10)3, 7, \sqrt{16} (= 4), \frac{20}{2} (= 10)
  • Integers: 3,7,16(=4),202(=10)3, 7, \sqrt{16} (= 4), \frac{20}{2} (= 10)
  • Rational Numbers: 0.4,3,4.6,7,16(=4),13,165,202(=10)-0.4, 3, 4.6, 7, \sqrt{16} (= 4), -\frac{1}{3}, \frac{16}{5}, \frac{20}{2} (= 10)
  • Irrational Numbers: 7,3-\sqrt{7}, \sqrt{3}
  • Real Numbers: All except 10\frac{1}{0} (which is undefined)
  • Undefined: 10\frac{1}{0}
