Well, find that out--and I'm sure you'll get your answer! =D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you add any two numbers of that set, the resultant should also be in that set, this is called Closed Set..

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

so its b and d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whole number set is : \(\{0,1,2,3,...................\}\) Add any two numbers, 0+1 = 1, 1 is in the set. Take more examples and check..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think \(a\) is there.. Check for \(b\) now, yes it is.. Similarly, check for others and you will come to know that, All are correct. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Negative integers set is : \(\{-1, -2,-3,-4........................\}\) Add any two numbers : \(-1 + (-2) =-3\), \(-3\) is in the set..

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
