OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm thought you were asking for the restaurant bill so I was going to hand you one plus 35% tips =)

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

Hahaha, I don't get you. :p So I'm correct? :P

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so hmmmm what makes say hmmm \(\sqrt{6}\ and\ \sqrt{2}\) examples of 1) and 2) closed under addition anyway?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

first off, what "closed under addition" mean anyway? they don't like being added, so they closed each other to that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

bear in mind that \(\bf {\color{brown}{ \sqrt{2} }}\impliedby irrational \\ \quad \\ \sqrt{6}\implies \sqrt{3\cdot 2}\implies \sqrt{3}\cdot {\color{brown}{ \sqrt{2} }}\)

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

Sorry, I'm back now! Let me check. :)

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

Oh... So it's all of them got it :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

:O

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

zeppyyyyy lol i don't really have a clue But my teacher went over this before and she also had struggles haha

zepdrix (zepdrix):

oh boy XD

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehehe hmm what does "closed under addition" mean though?

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

May I use google? :p

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

sure thing

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

So a set is closed under addition if the sum of any two elements in the set is also in the set. For example, the real numbers R have a standard binary operation called addition (the familiar one). Then the set of integers Z is closed under addition because the sum of any two integers is an integer.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

nice paste jabez1777 oooook, what does that mean?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

one would note that copy/paste simple means, "this is what I read verbatim" not "this is what I understand"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

@jabez1777 anyhow, http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/closure.html <-- this may help clearing out that some then you'll who may or may not be closed under addition keep in mind you're asked on "rational" numbers

OpenStudy (noctuam):

Close under addition will mean that the sum of two numbers inside of a space belongs to the space itself.

OpenStudy (noctuam):

Given two numbers in the form of a/b and c/d where a,b,c and d belong to R the sum a/b + c/d belongs to the rationals.

OpenStudy (jabez1777):

Okay now this is confusing the daylight out of me! hahahaha Let me try and understand it ugh lol

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well ahemm.... closed under addition, as I understood from that article is two or more, items added, both items being of the same "GENRE', will yield a result of the same "GENRE" so, two integers will produce an integer result two rationals will produce a rational result bear in mind that \({\color{brown}{ \sqrt{2} }}\impliedby irrational \\ \quad \\ \sqrt{6}\implies \sqrt{3\cdot 2}\implies \sqrt{3}\cdot {\color{brown}{ \sqrt{2} }} \)
