1 00:00:02,267 --> 00:00:05,800 Consider the numbers 1/3 , 7 , -15 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,933 To which of these sets of numbers 3 00:00:10,933 --> 00:00:16,400 these numbers belong to. Lets review each of these 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:24,600 Natural numbers are counting numbers 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:32,000 not equal 0. it is 1,2,3,... so on and so forth 6 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 The whole numbers are natural numbers plus 0 7 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,400 Whole numbers are 0,1,2,3,4 8 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,533 The integers is the whole numbers plus opposite of it 9 00:00:48,533 --> 00:00:53,133 It is whole numbers plus negative of natural numbers 10 00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:57,600 like -4,-3,-2,-1 11 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,400 0, 1, 2, 3,4, ... so on and so forth 12 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,867 rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed 13 00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:10,867 as a ratio of two integers.Rational number can be 14 00:01:10,867 --> 00:01:16,200 expressed as m/n where m and n are integers 15 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,000 and n cannot be 0 as anything divided by 0 16 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,600 is not defined. But m could be 0 17 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:35,600 as 0 can be expressed as 0/1 or 0/2 or 0/3 18 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:50,800 or 0/-537 these are all representations of 0 19 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,733 Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot 20 00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:56,733 be expressed as ratios of integers 21 00:01:56,733 --> 00:01:58,733 examples of irrational numbers are numbers that 22 00:01:58,733 --> 00:02:02,867 keeps repeating on and on and on 23 00:02:02,867 --> 00:02:14,733 π, √2 are examples of irrational numbers 24 00:02:14,733 --> 00:02:27,467 and then real numbers are really all of these combined 25 00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:29,467 if you are combining the rational numbers 26 00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:32,533 and irrational numbers you are talking 27 00:02:32,533 --> 00:02:35,133 about real numbers.every real number 28 00:02:35,133 --> 00:02:37,867 is either rational or irrational. 29 00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:40,200 lets classify what we have 30 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:52,667 1/3 is not a natural number as it is not 31 00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:54,467 a counting number. It is not a whole number 32 00:02:54,467 --> 00:02:59,333 it is not an integer.is it a rational number 33 00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:04,933 sure it is as 1 and 3 are integers. so 1/3 34 00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:14,000 is a rational number.if something is rational 35 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:24,867 it cannot be irrational and it is also a real number 36 00:03:24,867 --> 00:03:31,800 lets try 7 37 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:38,733 number 7 is a natural number, whole number 38 00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:44,933 any natural is a whole number 39 00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:48,867 any natural and whole number si an integer 40 00:03:48,867 --> 00:03:51,467 so 7 is also a integer. 41 00:03:51,467 --> 00:03:54,467 any number that is natural, whole and integer 42 00:03:54,467 --> 00:04:02,933 is a rational number. we can write 7 as 7/1 43 00:04:02,933 --> 00:04:06,867 we can write any integer as that number / 1 44 00:04:06,867 --> 00:04:14,867 if it is rational it cannot be irrational. 45 00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:20,733 it is also going to be real 46 00:04:20,733 --> 00:04:40,200 we have -15. 47 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,733 it is not a natural number 48 00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:50,933 natural number are positive integers only 49 00:04:50,933 --> 00:04:55,200 it is not a whole number 50 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,533 it is an integer, it is the opposite of +15 51 00:05:01,533 --> 00:05:07,800 it is rational as it can be written as -15/1 52 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,467 and because it is rational it cannot be irrational 53 00:05:12,467 --> 99:59:59,999 it is also real.
