A. {-1, -4, 7, -5}
B. {0, 1, 2, 3}
C. {√2, 7, 13}
D. {-2, -3, -4}

Answer 1

The set of numbers that are integers but not whole numbers or natural numbers is A. {-1, -4, 7, -5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are numbers that include positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero. Whole numbers are non-negative numbers, including zero, that do not have a fractional or decimal part. Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1 and do not include zero or negative numbers.

From the given options, the set of numbers that are integers but not whole numbers or natural numbers is A. {-1, -4, 7, -5}. These numbers are integers because they include positive and negative whole numbers, but they are not whole numbers or natural numbers because they include negative numbers and zero.
