PLS HELP ME QUICK I NEED THIS GOOD GRADE PLS HELPPPP! Tell whether each statement is true or false. If false, provide a counterexample. The set of whole numbers contains the set of rational numbers. Every terminating decimal is a rational number. Every square root is a rational number. The integers are closed under addition.
