Solution
The image you uploaded contains several mathematical questions. I'll transcribe and solve the questions for you.
Questions from the Image:
23. A student claimed that is a natural number greater than 1 and is a natural number from 1. Actually, none is correct, even though if the variables are used. How this student error?
24. Give a real number that satisfies each condition.
(a) An integer between and .
(b) A whole number that is not a natural number.
(c) A natural number that is not a whole number.
(d) An irrational number between and .
Solutions:
23. The error in the student's claim is in the interpretation of the square root function and the assumptions about the natural numbers:
- is only a natural number if is a perfect square. If is not a perfect square, then is irrational and not a natural number.
- The expression being a natural number doesn't automatically make a natural number.
24. Let's find real numbers that satisfy each condition:
(a) An integer between and :
The fractions and .
Since integers are whole numbers, and there are no whole numbers between 0.6 and 0.833, this question might have an error unless it was meant to ask for a number, in which case there are none.
(b) A whole number that is not a natural number:
The only whole number that is not a natural number is 0.
(c) A natural number that is not a whole number:
This condition doesn't make sense because all natural numbers are whole numbers. There is no natural number that isn't also a whole number.
(d) An irrational number between and :
and . Any irrational number between these values, such as 1.5, 1.6, etc., would work. A specific example could be .
Do you want more details or have any other questions?
Here are some relative questions you might find interesting:
- What defines a number as irrational, and how do you identify them?
- How do you prove that is irrational for non-perfect squares?
- What are the differences between whole numbers, natural numbers, and integers?
- Can you explain why zero is considered a whole number but not a natural number?
- What are the properties of irrational numbers that distinguish them from rational numbers?
Tip: When dealing with roots and powers, always check if the base is a perfect square or cube, as this helps in identifying whether the result is rational or irrational.
