whole, real, natural, integer rational, irrational,

Answer 3

and you want a definition for each?

Answer 4

no, i was wondering which categories does 3.6 fit in

Answer 5

oh i thought that was the number in the assignment

whole - these are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. NO decimals.

real - these are ALL numbers except imaginary. This includes square roots, whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, etc.

natural - these are the counting numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). All the positive whole numbers, sometimes 0 included

integer - this includes all positive and negative WHOLE numbers and 0. (like -1, -2, 0, 1, 2, etc)

rational - this includes whole numbers, fractions AND decimals.

irrational - in my own simple words these are the numbers that don't look pretty like \(\pi\) or \(\sqrt 2\), etc.

does that help

Answer 6

yea i understand it but out of those 6 systems i have to figure out where does 3.6 fit in. in can fit in to more than one system. if that makes any sense
