Question

What number groups does -2 belong in?​

Answer 1

real , rational and integer

Explanation:

it is an integer because all the negative numbers and positive numbers belong to the group integers

it is a rational number because rational numbers are divided into 3 groups which are natural numbers , whole numbers, and integers

it is a real number because real numbers are divided into two rational and irrational numbers

number system

real numbers imaginory numbers

rational numbers irrational numbers

whole numbers ,natural numbers, integers

What number groups does -2 belong in?

`\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}\diamond`

First, let's take a look at some number groups.

The first one is:-

❖ Natural numbers. This set consists of positive numbers only.

◈ Example:- 4, 6, 12, 436... any positive number is included in the "Natural numbers" set.

The next set is:-

❖ Whole numbers. This set includes all natural numbers plus zero.

Negative numbers are still not included.

The next set is:-

❖ Integers. This set includes all whole numbers plus negative numbers. Fractions are not included in this set.

The next set does include fractions, and it's called

❖ Rational numbers. This set consists of integers and, as I mentioned before, fractions.

Another number set is as follows:-

❖ Irrational numbers. This set includes numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions, like
`\bold{√(2)}`, or you may have heard of
`\pi`, which is also irrational, meaning that we cannot express π as a fraction, because it has an infinite number of digits after the decimal point.

Finally, the set that includes all numbers (or almost all) is called:-

❖ Real numbers. This set includes rational, irrational numbers, integers... almost everything.

There's another set of numbers:-

❖ Imaginary numbers. This set consists of numbers that were imagined. Such numbers come in handy when it comes to solving some equations, like
`\bold{x^2=-1}`. They are also called "complex numbers".

Now that we know all the sets of numbers, let's answer this question:-

`\textsf{ What number groups does -2 belong in?}`

First, it's negative, so it's not a whole number or a natural one.

It is an integer, because negative numbers are included in the "integers" set.

It can be expressed as a fraction, which is as follows:-

❖
`\bold{-(2)/(1)}`

So we conclude that -2 is:-

• an integer ✓
• a rational number ✓
• a real number ✓

◔Good luck.◆
