Real Number line


Can irrational numbers cannot be represented by points on the real number line?

These number can also be represented on real line.


Why is the number line called the real number?

Because there is a 1-to-1 mapping between the points on the line and the set of real numbers.


Is there an empty set or point between any two points on a number line?

There are an infinite number of points between any two numbers on the real number line.


Is zero real number?

Yes, zero is a real number. If you can plot it on a number line, it is real. It is also an integer, a whole number, a rational number, and could probably be designated as a few other types of numbers.


What is the definition of number line?

number line- a straight line on which there is indicated a one-to-one correspondence between points on the line and the set of real numbers. basically a line with numbers on it.


Can The points on a line can be paired one to one with real number?

Yes, the points on a line can be paired one-to-one with real numbers. This is because a line is a continuous and infinite set of points, which can be represented by a coordinate system, such as the Cartesian plane. By assigning each point on the line a unique real number (e.g., using its distance from a fixed point), we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the points and the real numbers. This concept is foundational in understanding the properties of real numbers and the nature of lines in geometry.


What is a definition of number line?

In basic mathematics, a number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers, denoted by R{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} }. Every point of a number line is assumed to correspond to a real number, and every real number to a point. Often integers are shown as specially-marked points evenly spaced on the line.

Does every real number have two qualities - a sign and a distance from zero?

Yes. Real numbers are points along a continuous infinite number line with its midpoint at 0.


Real life example of a line plot?

I'm not really sure which line plot you mean so I assumed it was the x,y axis line plot. One example could be the shooting solution coordinates in a warship


Are irrational numbers real numbers?

A mathematical approach:Yes they are. Irrational numbers are very real, for example - the square root of two - which is irrational (but can be plotted in a number line without difficulty with a compass and straight edge). All numbers you can think of (even if you cant white them out) are real numbers.They are real, but they can't be expressed as fractions.A philosophical approach:According to ME, there should be a limit. If there is a number which is not ending, we can't say that it is a number because it has not ended yet, its not a complete number. That's why, any number which is not ending is not a number, so irrational numbers and some rational numbers are not numbers and we can't plot them on real line, no matter how much depth we are into it. If there is a number 1.0000... (100 million 0's) ...1, we can plot it by dividing real line into required many parts but we cant plot a number like 1.1111....1111....(up to, we don't know), actually that's not a number yet.Maths should be changed.
