Conclusion. It is evident that rational numbers can be expressed both in fraction form and decimals. An irrational number, on the other hand, can only be expressed in decimals and not in a fraction form. Moreover, all the integers are rational numbers, but all the non-integers are not irrational numbers.
Closure property is one of the basic properties used in math. By definition, closure property means the set is closed. This means any operation conducted on elements within a set gives a result which is within the same set of elements. Closure property helps us understand the characteristics or nature of a set.
The Closure Property: The closure property of a whole number says that when we add two Whole Numbers, the result will always be a whole number. For example, 3 + 4 = 7 (whole number).
Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The closure property of addition states that when any two elements of a set are added, their sum will also be present in that set. The closure property formula for addition for a given set S is: ∀ a, b ∈ S ⇒ a + b ∈ S.
The closure property of addition states that when any two elements of a set are added, their sum will also be present in that set. The closure property formula for addition for a given set S is: ∀ a, b ∈ S ⇒ a + b ∈ S.
The associative property states that the sum or the product of three or more numbers does not change if they are grouped in a different way. This associative property is applicable to addition and multiplication. It is expressed as, (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) and (A × B) × C = A × (B × C).
Closure property of rational numbers under subtraction: The difference between any two rational numbers will always be a rational number, i.e. if a and b are any two rational numbers, a – b will be a rational number.
If a/b and c/d are any two rational numbers, then (a/b) x (c/d) = (ac/bd) is also a rational number. Example: 5/9 x 7/9 = 35/81 is a rational number. Closure Property in Division: If a/b and c/d are two rational numbers, such that c/d ≠0, then a/b ÷ c/d is always a rational number.
