Which set of numbers does -17 belong to?

It belongs to any set that has -17 amongst its members.Given that this is schoolwork, the answer teacher probably wants is: the set of integers.It also belongs to the set of rational numbers, the set of negative integers, the set of real numbers, the set of complex numbers, the set {43.2, 98, -17, pi} and an infinite number of others.It belongs to the set of complex numbers in spite of having no 'imaginary' part. Real numbers are just special cases of complex number in which the imaginary part happens to be zero. Rational numbers are special cases of real numbers. Integers are special cases of rational numbers.


What is the symbol of irrational numbers?

There is no special symbol.The set of rational numbers is denoted by Q and the set of real numbers by R so one option is R - Q.


Are natural numbers real numbers?

Yes, all natural numbers are real numbers. Natural numbers are a subset of real numbers, so not all real numbers are natural numbers.


Are all numbers real numbers?

No, not all numbers are real numbers. Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers, but there are also complex numbers that are not considered real numbers.

Is every real number a complex number?

A complex number is a number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the principal square root of -1. In the special case where b=0, a+0i=a. Hence every real number is also a complex number. And in the special case where a=0, we call those numbers pure imaginary numbers. Note that 0=0+0i, therefore 0 is both a real number and a pure imaginary number. Do not confuse the complex numbers with the pure imaginary numbers. Every real number is a complex number and every pure imaginary number is a complex number also.


Is a real number a whole number?

No, not all. All numbers are Real Numbers. * * * * * All numbers are not real numbers: there are complex numbers and others. Also, all real number are not whole numbers. sqrt(2) or pi, for example are real numbers but not whole numbers.


What is the group of numbers that includes all numbers?

The set of Real numbers includes all commonly used numbers. But the Real numbers are only a proper subset of the set of Complex numbers, and the Complex numbers are a proper subset of Quaternions.It is a bit like the Russian Babushka dolls with one doll inside another which is inside another, and so on. In reality, therefore, there is no such set.Also, note that "Group" has a very special meaning in mathematics. The set of Real numbers is a group, but it is also a Field.


What is the set of numbers including all irrational and rational numbers?

real numbers


What is the relation of complex numbers to real numbers?

Complex numbers are a proper superset of real numbers. That is to say, real numbers are a proper subset of complex numbers.
