Question

Is the set of multiples of 5 closed under division? Explain why or provide a counterexample if not.









A.

Yes, because the quotient of any two multiples of 5 is also a multiple of 5.








B.

Yes, because the quotient of any two multiples of 5 is also a multiple of 10.








C.

No, and a counterexample is 100 ÷ 5 = 20.








D.

No, and a counterexample is 25 ÷ 50 = 1/2 .

Answer 5

Do you know what it means for a set to be "closed under division?"

Answer 6

A set of elements is closed under an operation if, when you apply the
operation to elements of the set, you always get another element of
the set.

For example, the whole numbers are closed under addition, because if
you add two whole numbers, you always get another whole number - there
is no way to get anything else.

But the whole numbers are _not_ closed under subtraction, because you
can subtract two whole numbers to get something that is not a whole
number, e.g.,

2 - 5 = -3

The integers are closed under multiplication (if you multiply two
integers, you get another integer), but they are _not_ closed under
division, since you can divide two integers to get a rational number
that isn't an integer.

The rationals, however, are closed under addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.

So the statement that 'the complex numbers are closed under addition'
means that if you add two complex numbers together, you are guaranteed
to get a complex number as the sum.
