-5 Is A Member Of Which Subset Of Real Numbers.

a) natural numbers
b) whole numbers
c) intergers
d) rational numbers
e) irrational numbers

Natural numbers are the counting numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc

Integers are the counting numbers, together with their opposites and zero.

whole numbers are the counting numbers without the zero.

Rational numbers are the set of all numbers that can be written as quotients, ie, 1/2.

Irrational numbers are all real numbers that are not rational numbers, ie.
square roots and pi

can you answer now?

yeah. thx

yes

To determine which subset of real numbers -5 belongs to, we need to understand the different subsets of real numbers.

a) The natural numbers include all positive whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) Since -5 is negative, it is not a natural number.
b) The whole numbers include all positive whole numbers and zero (0, 1, 2, etc.). Since -5 is negative, it is not a whole number.
c) The integers include all positive and negative whole numbers, but not fractions. Since -5 is a negative whole number, it is an integer.
d) Rational numbers include all numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (where the numerator and denominator are both integers). Since -5 can be written as -5/1, it is a rational number.
e) Irrational numbers include all numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. -5 is not an irrational number.

Therefore, -5 is a member of the subset of real numbers called integers (option c).
