Give an example of a number:
a) that is an integer but not a whole number.
The integers are {...-3,-2,-1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...}
The whole numbers are {0, 1, 2, 3,...}
So any of the negative integers
{...-3,-2,-1}
would be an integer but not a whole number.
So -1 would be the simplest example.
--------------------------------------------
b) that is a real number but not a rational number.
Any non-terminating decimal which does not eventually repeat
one digit or block of digits forever is a real number which is
not a rational number. For example, this non-terminating,
non-repeating decimal:
1.101001000100001000001000000100000001···
is an example or a real number which is not rational.
Other examples are and for their
decimal forms can be shown to be non-terminating as
well as non-repeating.
