Could you help me Determine whether each set of
numbers is closed under the indicated operation
-----------------------
Irrational,addition
The question is
"Can you add your way out of the set of
irrational numbers?
The answer is "Yes you can."
is irrational and so is
but if you add them you get , which is
rational, so you have added your way out of
the irrational numbers. That's means it's NOT
CLOSED.
-----------------------
natural,addition
The question is
"Can you add your way out of the set of
natural numbers?
The answer is "No you can't". If you add any two
natural numbers you always get another natural number.
That means it is CLOSED.
-----------------------
irrational,multiplcation
The question is
"Can you multiply your way out of the set of
irrational numbers?
The answer is "Yes you can."
is irrational and so is
but if you multiply them you get , which is
rational, so you have muliplied your way out of the
irrational numbers. That's means it's NOT CLOSED.
-----------------------
integers,subtraction
The question is
"Can you subtract your way out of the set of
integers?
The answer is "No you can't". If you subtract any two
integers you always get another integer.
That means it is CLOSED.
-----------------------
rational, multiplcation
The question is
"Can you multiply your way out of the set of
rational numbers?
The answer is "No you can't". If you multiply any two
rational numbers you always get another rational number.
That means it is CLOSED.
