OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

To show the set of whole number is closed under multiplication, you need to pick examples of multiplications done to whole numbers whose results are whole numbers.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The first thing you need to know is what the set of whole number is. Do you know?

OpenStudy (philcua):

Sorry was making my self lunch so sorry @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

what is the set of whole numbers ?

OpenStudy (philcua):

this question is multiple Coice I dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many can you choose?

OpenStudy (philcua):

As maNYAS MANY THAT i WANT

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok the set of whole numbers is 1,2,3,4,.... and closed under multiplications means if a is a whole number and b is a whole number then a.b is also a whole number , chose the option that only have whole numbers ^_^

OpenStudy (philcua):

SO IT WOULD BE OPTION C AND D

OpenStudy (philcua):

bECAUSE IT HAS TO BE 2 OR MORE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be C and D because it is the only problem in which a whole number is the result of the multiplication.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes ur correct C and D i made a typo whole numbers starts from 0 not 1 :؛

OpenStudy (philcua):

Thanks tennis dude

OpenStudy (philcua):

And ikram

OpenStudy (philcua):

can you help me with some more

OpenStudy (philcua):

@ikram002p

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

post and i'll see but i dont promise :P

OpenStudy (philcua):

Ok thank you here they are

Which sets of numbers are closed under addition? Choose all answers that are correct. A. {0, 2, 5, 8} B. even integers C. rational numbers D. {0}

OpenStudy (philcua):

Multiple choice

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A set closed under addition means that if you take any two numbers (you can use the same number twice) from the set and you add them together, the addition is also part of the set. Let's look at choice D. The set is {0} Add 0 + 0. The solution is 0. Both zeros that you added together and the zero that is the addition are all part of the set {0}, so this set is closed under addition.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now try the same method for choices A, B, and C. Use several combinations of two numbers from each set to see if the set is closed under addition.
